The Viennese
Table is owned and operated by husband and wife team Gil and Cecille
Asoy. Gil handles sales and logistics while Cecille is the creative
drive behind baking the most original cakes this side of the world.
They bring twenty two years of experience to assure product quality,
operations efficiency, excellence in service, professionalism
in client relations and ethical business practice. Gil, a native
of Tacloban, was Assistant to the Secretary of the Department
of Trade and Industry while Cecille, from Nasugbu, Batangas, was
manager of the Mortgage Banking Dep't. of Union Bank of the Philippines.
Both retired early, at the height of their successful careers,
leaving the rat-race of Manila to take time raising their daughter,
Camille, in the relaxed atmosphere of the province.
Established in 1993, The Viennese Table started out producing
puto-cutchinta for sale in the different school canteens of Tacloban
City. After only a few months, these same items were being delivered
to various restaurants through out Tacloban. Cecille then introduced
sapin-sapin to the local market, a desert not generally available
in the province, using her own special recipe it came into great
demand! Fresh lumpia was also presented to, and readily accepted
by, the Taclobanons. Cakes, pastries and the other products followed
soon after. Presently, The Viennese Table supplies local caterers,
hotels, restaurants and food-franchise holders , as well as serving
a large walk-in clientele.
Intrigued
with the Internet Cecille put up the first website for The Viennese
Table in March 2001. They were surprised when the first overseas
order came in for a birthday cake for a little girl in Tacloban
City. This has precipitated an ever-grwing international clientele,
which has expanded the realm of orders for the home based Viennese
Table. Gil makes arrangements for the delivery and shipment of
the orders from Catarman, Northern Samar down to Maasin, Southern
Leyte. Their advancement to DSL necessitated the acquisition of
their own domain names thereby giving birth to www.cecillecakes.com
and www.asoy.biz.
