The adorable cupcake brand Pantry’s Best boasts two beautifully designed stores in Shanghai: a bite-sized concession in the K11 art mall, and a seated eatery in the basement of the luxury mall L’Avenue. Mark Heutsche, a former computer scientist who finally pursued his life-long passion for baking when he relocated to Beijing, founded the company in 2009. He began by hand-making his grandmother’s pie and cake recipes before delivering the goods by bicycle to his friends around the city, a humble beginning for what has grown into a fully established dessert store and delivery service.
纸杯蛋糕品牌派悦坊,在上海开设有两家精心设计的实体店面:

Nestled into the basement of L’Avenue mall, Pantry’s Best has been sculpted into an unassuming dining area by local firm Lukstudio, offering a clean, casual space for children and adults alike. Characterized by smooth surfaces, creamy textures and curved lines, the store is a delectable replica of each hand-finished cake.

Lukstudio has incorporated a central column into the design, transforming it from an obstacle into a tree-like sculpture that extends from the ground and expands into a ceiling of icing-inspired ripples. The stylised installation is further perforated with peepholes, to give the impression of a woodpecker’s pecks up and down the trunk. The brand’s K11 concession carefully maintains design continuity. It features many branch-like cylinders dangling above the retail display and rows of stump-like plinths standing on the counter to showcase the brand’s signature desserts.

Christina Luk founded Lukstudio in Shanghai in 2011, and has worked with her team to create an extensive portfolio. Born and raised in Hong Kong, she later received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto before finally returning back East in 2007. Christina has always been greatly inspired by her artistic and innovative surroundings, particularly in Asia, and Lukstudio’s nuanced design of Pantry’s Best represents the firm’s passion for choosing top quality materials and detailed craftsmanship.
