Tortas

I just discovered the most amazing bakery yet in Peru- The Panificadora San Jose in Chachapoyas. Cammie and I split a pineapple cake and a blueberry cream cake for, um, afternoon dessert and are planning on going back for "dinner." We also had the coconut cake from there on the first day of our trek when we were standing in the rain near some ruins and our guide, Carlos, pulled out three slices of cake. It suddenly made being wet not such a bad thing. They make a lot of pound cake type cakes here. The best are from the bakeries like Panificadora where they are really tall and they cut thick slices. They also use a special, carmel colored goey sweet cream on many of their pastries that is delicious and not quite like anything I have had before. The fanciest, most expensive desserts here cost just under a dollar.
