Whether you’re craving a classic, feeling adventurous with Persian love cakes, or secretly hoping for a cheesecake that’s actually healthy (spoiler: we’ve got it!), Ava’s has you covered. And don’t worry, these cakes are calorie-free* if you close your eyes while eating. (*Disclaimer: They are absolutely not calorie-free, but life’s short, right?)
Keep scrolling to satisfy your sweet tooth, and be sure to check out our event calendar at the end—it’s packed tighter than a frosting bag. Stop on by, and let’s get cakey! 😋🍴
🎂 Got Milk? Try Cake 3 Leches 🧁
Looking for your next sweet obsession? Meet the Cake 3 Leches, a dreamy little dessert created by the talented folks at Boquitas De Lily, a local Puerto Rican catering gem now available at Ava’s Market. (Warning: side effects may include uncontrollable smiling and spontaneous happy dances. 💃🕺)
This luscious personal-sized treat begins with a soft, airy wheat sponge cake lovingly soaked in three types of milk—evaporated, condensed, and heavy cream—because why stop at one milk when three will do? 🥛🥛🥛 The result? A cake so moist and creamy you'll swear you're floating on a sweet, dairy cloud.
Adding fresh fruit to the mix gives a refreshing zing that perfectly balances the rich sweetness. Each bite is like a little vacation to Puerto Rico, minus the airfare (you're welcome).
Tres leches cakes have been delighting tastebuds across Latin America since the 19th century, likely inspired by European soaked desserts like English trifle and Italian tiramisu. It's become a festive staple—meaning it's the perfect cake to celebrate… well, anything! (Tuesday counts, right? 🤷♀️)
Swing by Ava's Market and treat yourself to a Cake 3 Leches—you deserve a sweet escape! 🌴✨
