House of Silvanas was born out of Mary Ann Sagarbarria's love of baking. When Mary Ann tied the knot with Cholong Sagarbarria in 1971 her mother-in-law Trinidad Teves-Sagarbarria, who owned Sans Rival, a popular bakeshop in the province of Dumaguete City, shared with her several pastry recipes. She learned, among others, how to make sans rival. When Mary Ann moved to Manila with her family in 1978, her delicious sans rival became an instant favorite within their circle of friends. Before long, she found herself making sans rival for the parties of her friends and acquaintances and, later on, even strangers. While orders for sans rival came pouring in, her interest in baking grew even more. She experimented with original recipes, created a number of her own and modified some of them. After some changes in the recipe of her mother-in-law, Mary Ann started offering silvanas (a pastry similar to sans rival, except that it's in cookie form) to her clients. As with sans rival, the silvanas became a big hit.
