For a petite pastry, Genie Kwon’s cross between a sandwich cookie and cake has a lot to say. Starting with two buttery discs of Basque cake, Kwon layers on pastry cream made with ube. That nods to the Filipino roots of her husband and co-chef, Tim Flores. So does the powdered sun design on top, evoking the flag of the Philippines. Tart housemade huckleberry jam tucked inside brings all the flavors together. $7. 1001 N. Winchester Ave., East Ukrainian Village
