I love baked goods myself! What is some of your more popular bakery items?
Thats amazing! People seem to like my pastel de nata. Which is basically a baked cream cake.What about you? what is your favourite baked good?
We have a cuban place near where I live that makes scacchiata. It's like a pizza bread. It is my favorite! Do you make all the baked goods yourself or do you have a staff of bakers?
I love Cuban cuisine. Yes, I do have staff that works with me. We hire local kids that have a cooking program here at our local high school in Louisville, Kentucky.
That's awesome! Do you make jalapeno bread? I understand that is popular in Mexico.
Yes!! Have you had it before? We make a jalapeño bread with cream cheese. It's one of our client's favourites as well. We also make donuts and conchas.
That sounds wonderful! What do you put in your conchas recipe? Does it have yeast?
Yes, we add about 2 and a half teaspoons of yeast. We also add sugar, milk, butter, flour, eggs, you know, the usual.
Do you make a Portuguese pastry called Pastel de Laranja? I thought it sounded interesting!
It is very tasty, Have you had it? We do make it but we add a little twist to it. We put some cream cheese topping to make it less sweet. We also have some without it, in case the customer prefers the pure flavour of the cake itself.
