Azucar

 

I have a fondness for Cuban bakeries since I was introduced to Porto’s.  Azucar is much smaller and during the apocalypse they have less options available.

I was sad to see they didn’t have potato balls during my last visit.


Vanilla raspberry cupcake was moist and had delicious vanilla & raspberry flavor.  Passion fruit vanilla frosting was the perfect compliment and not too sweet.

 


Beef meat pie had a flaky buttery pastry outside with beef inside.  Loved the pastry part.  Didn’t like the flavor of the beef/picadillo recipe.

 


Mojito cookie was soft with a bit of sweetness from the sugar crystals and a mix of lime and mint flavor.  One of my favorite lime cookies of all time.


Birthday cake is a decadent treat with lots going on.  Tons of frosting which seemed like a dense whipped cream.  Good amount of sweetness but not too much.  Lots of confetti pieces which add another layer of sweetness.  Cake was fluffy, moist, and had a nice mild sweet flavor.  Great tasting treat to treat yourself with whether or not it’s your birthday.
