The special occasion cake we get from there is a 3 layer yellow cake, that has been moistened with brandy syrup, and has a layer of custardand guava creamNathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-85356322880464409292008-01-14T09:55:00.000-08:002008-01-14T09:55:00.000-08:00oddlyme,Thanks for the other suggestions.

Their cuban sandwich. Their roast pork sandwich with garlic lime dressing. Their coconut pastry. Their chocolate croissant. THEN you will love Portos.<BR/><BR/>They are not like very other bakery. But they are good.

I was going to mention it but I didn't want to drive the point home that much. Super sweet cakes seem to be popular with a whole lot of people after all.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-725510359524748182007-01-04T14:51:00.000-08:002007-01-04T14:51:00.000-08:00I'm not a fan of super sweet cakes either.
