Discover AMORFI, a "god-tier" 4.9-star bakery in Metro, Lampung, loved by locals for its cozy vibe and delicious treats like milk pies and donuts. While their Korean-style custom cakes are stunning, there's a catch: they might come without filling! This guide gives you a crucial heads-up, sharing essential tips on how to order the perfect layered birthday cake from this hidden gem, ensuring you get the beautiful and delicious dessert you're dreaming of.
Girls, I've dug up another hidden gem! This time it's not in Jakarta, but in the city of Metro, Lampung province, a hidden gem of a bakery that the locals absolutely love, AMORFI.
Before heading out, I did my usual scroll through Google Maps. Wow, over 600 reviews, and the rating was a whopping 4.9 stars[1]! In Indonesia, that's basically god-tier. Sounds Mantap, right? I immediately went for their super beautiful custom cakes, but the result... was almost a disaster. Good thing I was smart about it, otherwise, I would have had to eat a "hollow" cake for my birthday 😅
The flavor is on point, but there's a huge catch!
As soon as I walked in, the delicious smell of baking hit me. The shop isn't big, but it's very cozy. The staff were all super friendly[2] and very Chill. The shelves were filled with all sorts of little treats, their signature is the milk pie (Pie Susu)[3], and also donuts (Donat)[4] that look super comforting and rich chocolate brownie cups (Brownis Cup)[5].
I tried a few, and they were genuinely good. The sweetness level was just right, not that cloyingly sweet kind of taste, perfect for our Asian palates[6]. I have to give them a big thumbs up for that! 👍
But! Here comes the important part! I was originally there for their beautiful Korean-style custom cakes, but then I accidentally came across a review that said some cakes, for the sake of appearance, are actually "solid" inside, with no layers or jam filling! Anjay! Can you even call that a birthday cake? Isn't that just a giant Muffin?!
A Foolproof Guide to Avoiding the Pitfall (Save this now!)
