Reimagined Filipino & Latin-inspired Desserts.

Homebaked by Sweet Condesa is a San Francisco-based micro-bakery offering Filipino-inspired treats that celebrate culture, heritage, and nostalgia—one meaningful bite at a time.

Founded in 2017 by Melody Lorenzo—a Filipina immigrant, self-taught baker, and former public servant—Sweet Condesa began as a passion project to reimagine traditional Filipino desserts with a modern twist. From calamansi pie to ube scones, each treat reflects her heritage and the flavors she grew up with.

What started as a side hustle evolved into a mission: to bring cultural representation to the dessert table, especially in the wedding industry. Melody’s work has been featured in Eater SF, KQED, ABC7, and more, spotlighting her unique voice in the Bay Area's Filipino dessert scene.

In 2020, she left her full-time job to pursue baking just as the pandemic hit. She quickly pivoted, joining local farmers markets, catering events, curating experiences and growing the #BayAreaFilipinoPies brand. After years of nonstop hustle and inevitable burnout, Melody paused to focus on her health and family.

Now back with renewed purpose, Homebaked by Sweet Condesa continues to celebrate Filipino culture through dessert—this time with balance, intention, and heart.
