The pink cake was to die for and I am saddened that I didn't buy more, I will be dreaming of that pink cake until I go back to Brownsville especially the concha's I got the ube and vanilla, all I can say is I wish I had one right now! I'm from Austin and have never ever had pink cake or a concha that was so fluffy and delicious! The coffee taste was to perfection my other half is picky about his coffee and he rolled his eyes when he got his first sip. The young lady in the front was so bubbly and sweet and you can tell she puts love and hard work into these pastries! The store is very old but that's what gives it that genuine charm it took me back to when times were simple and you didn't need much to be happy.

I sent Cris a picture of an elaborate round cake of a snorkeling little girl made of fondant around the cake and fins sticking out of the "ocean" on the top of the cake....assorted fish, turtles and starfish and "sand" at the base of the cake completed the scene. Cris did a great job! It looked just like the picture and was very reasonably priced. Everyone who asked how much it cost was Impressed with the details and work it entailed for the price. I was also happy that the cake was delicious. It was a dense white cake. A small slice is filling. We chose a coconut buttercream frosting. Coconut flavoring can sometimes taste too strong or artificial. But this frosting was just right...very tasty. The cake was a hit with everyone and my niece loved it!

The staff is very friendly eager to help and always smiling. Even the owner will be there in the front lines assisting. Like the olden days. You can even get a cup of coffee and talk story.
