My sister woke up at 6:30am to go to Porto's Bakery to get a birthday cake for my brother's birthday. What a nice sister! ^^ She went that early to avoid the long line. But she said there were still a lot of people when she got there at 7am.
Meringue Fruit Torte
Yellow sponge cake soaked in a light brandy syrup with a layer of custard and peaches. Finished with torched meringue (old-fashioned boil icing) and decorated with an assortment of fresh fruits.
Meringue Fruit Torte was DELICIOUS! The cake was so moist. Lots and lots of fruit. Meringue was creamy and not overly sweet. My sister cut me a huge piece. I thought it was too much, but then ended up finishing everything and wanted even more.
Fruit Tart
A sweet buttery pastry filled with custard and decorated with seasonal fruits.
Everyone loved the Fruit Tart. Mom even said that next time just get the fruit tart as birthday cake. haha... I also tried mango mousse, bread pudding, potato balls, and guava pastry. Porto's bread pudding is sooooo good!
Thank you, Angie~~~~ for getting those yummy cakes! Happy birthday, Jerry! ^^

I looove Porto's! I've never had the bread pudding. Must try soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bread pudding is sweet, moist, soft, and full of golden raisins.
So yummy!
Really enjoy your blog! Thank you for sharing the infos and comments of the restaurants.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy! ^^

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to him!

I love those fruit tart...looks yum!
ReplyDeleteIt tastes even better! ^_^
Happy Birthday Jerry!
ReplyDeleteJerry is getting old..... haha
That cake looks so delicious. I was hoping to see photos of it after it was sliced (but maybe that was a good thing because I would probably go out and get one after seeing that---and get fatter).
ReplyDeleteI thought about taking a picture after slicing the cake.
But the cake was too good and I totally forgot about the picture after taking the first bite. haha....
You SHOULD go out and get one. I didn't care about dieting after a bite. haha
eileen, you should try their tiramisu cake also. its delicious . all of their cakes in general are delicious.
ReplyDeleteWoooo tiramisu cake! Gotta try that next time. Thanks!
I've heard wonderful things about this place. I wish it was closer to where I live so I can try it out.
ReplyDeleteNext time you come to LA to visit, you can try Porto's.
They also have really good sandwiches. Line is always long though.
But I think this place is worth to visit. Plus there's Americana and Glendale Galleria right there, too.
Dining and shopping on your next LA trip! Woohoo~~~
