Our Story

Cube³ was founded to create simply
delicious pastries, enhancing Asian,
especially Chinese, ingredients and
flavors through the use of both
Chinese and French baking and
pastry techniques. 

 

Our Founder

Shirley Yu grew up in China without
any baking experience. After she had
her first oatmeal cookie bake in
high school, she immediately fell
in love with baking and moved abroad
to the United States to study Baking
and Pastry Arts at Johnson &
Wales University.

After graduating, she further developed
her expertise and perfected her craft
by working at Restaurant Daniel,
Eleven Madison Park, and DOMI.
