Move Over, Pan de Muerto; Here Comes the Conchatrina

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ Leave a comment
It’s not a concha; it’s not a catrina; it’s a conchatrina!

The Mexicans have done it again, my friends.

Not content with bringing us the Conchanclas, the Conchamacos and the Conchatépetl, Mexican bakers are at it again.

Meet the Conchatrina, a special Day of the Dead-themed concha that mixes our beloved pan de muerto with the now world-famous Mexican skulls known as catrinas.

The chef’s name if Alfonso Domínguez and he runs a bakery in Tetelpa, Morelos, and I cannot wait to get there!

Behold the ‘Cuban tiramisú’

if you thought the Dunkin Donuts’ Cuban Sandwich wasn’t enough to lure you to the Sunshine State, consider this:

Andy Herrera, a happy-looking Miami baker based in Hialeah, is having his social-media moment of glory thanks to an abomination unusual creation of his: A vanilla cake filled with whipped cream, Nutella –and dozens golden brown, fried ham croquetas. Yup.

I know there are many things I don’t like/understand about Miami, but this one simply takes the cake (bad pun intended.)

Intrigued? Go read this here. I’m done.
