Lolo’s Famous Recipe

In 2016, Kris and Cholo Mendoza decided to let the public have a taste of their delicious sans rival cake. The recipe originated from Kris’ grandfather, whose name is Cipriano, hence the name of their business.

After working in a tech startup for years, Kris got burned out and had the urge to try something new. At that time, she also recently married Cholo, who had always heard great things about their family’s favorite dessert, her lolo’s (grandfather’s) famous sans rival. Unfortunately, when the couple started dating, Kris’ grandfather had already passed away, the reason Cholo never got to taste the well-loved cake.

Luckily, Kris’ mom still had her grandfather’s 50-year-old sans rival recipe. They consider this family recipe as their gold standard of sans rival. It’s extremely buttery, nutty, and most importantly, chewy. As Kris mentioned, they are #TeamKunat all the way. Just for fun, she attempted to recreate the cake for her family. Of course, it turned out well, and the rest is history.

Desserts Close to the Heart

As a chocolate lover, Kris feels strongly about their Chocolate Cake. Serious chocoholics would find it difficult to refuse this heavenly treat. It does not have nuts, syrups, and other things added to it, just pure chocolatey goodness! This super moist chocolate cake is generously smothered with a velvety layer of deep chocolate icing. Every bite of this delightful dessert feels comforting, like a hug!

Of course, sans rival is something you should try from Cipriano Sans Rival. Triple Nut is a creation that was born out of Kris and Cholo’s love for nuts. They make it with lavish portions of freshly roasted pistachios, macadamias, and cashews. If you’re a fan of sans rival, you will definitely enjoy all the crunchiness and chewiness it offers, made even more delectable with deliciously smooth French buttercream. This dessert would make the perfect gift or a treat after a long, hectic week.
