  4. @evicka, zda sa mi, ze cajetu poznaju len v mexiku. najlepsia cajeta sa vyraba v mexickom state celaya. robia sa z nej dokonca aj lizatka a cukriky. a pastel imposible je originalny nazov tohto kolaca :)

  13. Hi, this is such a beautiful cake! I've been admiring it ever since I saw it on foodgawker--I want to make it this weekend.

    I was curious, what nation's cuisine does this belong to? I've never seen anything like this before!

    Thank you for sharing :)

    1. Did you mean that the flan part is Mexican, or have you seen Mexicans do a half flan, half cake like this?

  18. What a beautiful blog.I admire the time you put into every meal...You make me feel like such a lazy Mexican. I have a shortcut for this cake...let's just say the flan part is made 20 mins in the microwave. My grandmother used to make it in "bano Maria" ...huge pain in the you know what.
