But if your celebration calls for a personalized design — a bento cake, a fondant character, or a themed creation — how does Caramia compare to ordering through Genie.ph? Here is the breakdown.

Our Verdict
Caramia is genuinely one-of-a-kind in Cebu — their gelato cakes are unlike anything you can order through a custom baker, and their premium experience is worth it for the right occasion. If you need a gelato cake or want the Caramia dine-in experience, go to Caramia. But for a personalized celebration cake with a specific design, theme, or trending style (bento, Korean, fondant), Genie.ph's local baker network gives you far more options at more accessible price points.
