“lower your expectations so when you do fail, it won’t be a surprise” “maybe just accept the fact that this isn’t for you” “you’re not moving quick enough” what is pukshiet? it’s proof that against all odds, i will persist. it’s wielding the fervor that perfectly imperfect people such as myself possess the courage to create in the face of doubt. what a gift it has been to be handed such a complex deck of cards that i have shuffled into this beautiful life. although far from easy, i have finally reached a point of gratitude that feels authentically realized and organically actualized. the adventure of self-discovery is never truly finished and is a lifelong endeavor. frantically scrambling to latch onto any nugget of purpose, i feel as if i have finally unlocked a path that sits right in my bones and spirit. “but it’s just pastries” oh but how they’re more than just a combination of flour, sugar, and butter… pukshiet is an ingestible autobiography. my story of imperfect grit. the dichotomy of ancestral acknowledgment and modern curiosity that runs through me. to know history is to know self.

Pukshiet is serving things you didn’t think could sit on the same plate. And that’s just a sliver of it. 👀 Izaiah’s menu shifts, stretches, experiments, always reaching for something new, something layered, something that feels like home and rebellion at the same time. Izaiah is baking flavors like a compass, mapping out a Filipinx-American identity that never sat neatly in one box. These pastries speak in two languages at once: ancestral acknowledgment and modern curiosity. Experiments that worked, experiments that shouldn’t have worked but absolutely do. Grit in the batter.❤️‍🔥 Grace in the frosting.🧁 📧 Orders: [email protected] 📸 Photo credits: @pukshiet / #ISearchPinoy #ISearchPinoyApp #FilAmDirectory #BusinessDirectory #FilAmBusiness FilipinoOwned FilipinoBusinessBakery Pastries Cake Desserts FilipinoFood Ube Pandan Calamansi SweetTreats BakedGoods ArtisanBakery SmallBusiness Foodie FoodLover Yummy Homemade CreativeBakes FilAmEats GourmetDesserts
