A Family Story Rooted in Bread and Ballet
Elsie’s Frozen Bread began in a small kitchen in 1978. What started as a simple home bakeshop called LC’s Yummies has become the first frozen bread brand in the Philippines, trusted by families and businesses for more than 40 years.
From day one, we’ve stayed true to what matters: good bread, made with care, and shared with love.
The Ballerina Baker
Elsie Uytiepo Torrejon—known to many as Mommy Elsie—spent over four decades teaching ballet in Bacolod and Manila. When she retired in 1977, she didn’t slow down. Instead, she channeled her discipline, creativity, and pursuit of perfection into breadmaking.
With guidance from her mother Dolores, and support from her husband Ernesto, Mommy Elsie created the recipes that still define our breads today—balanced, comforting, and made with precision.
How It All Started
In 1978, Mommy Elsie and Ernesto opened LC’s Yummies. At first, it was just Elsie, one baker, and a handful of customers. But word spread quickly.
By 1981, Elsie’s husband brought their bread to United Supermarket—their first retail client. The bakery slowly grew, supplying restaurants and more supermarkets around Metro Manila.
Where We Are Today
Elsie’s Frozen Bread has grown from a home kitchen to a full-scale operation, now with:
- A fully equipped bakery in Las Piñas
- A team of over 45 employees
- Delivery vans and logistics support
- Distribution in leading supermarkets and apps
All while using the same heirloom recipes that started it all.
What We Stand For
We believe in:
- Using the best ingredients available
- Training bakers with discipline and care
- Baking bread that tastes homemade—ready in minutes, but never rushed
We want our bread to feel familiar. Something you’ll want to keep in your freezer, serve at the table, and share with the people you love.
A Legacy That Lives On
Elsie’s Frozen Bread remains a family-run business. The name may have changed from LC’s Yummies, but the love behind each loaf is still the same.
Our founder, the Ballerina Baker, may have passed on—but her recipes continue to bring warmth to Filipino homes every day.
