Porto’s Bakery began in the heart of Cuba, where the scents of founder Rosa Porto’s family’s recipes filled her childhood. Her love for baking blossomed in that aromatic kitchen, leading to her one-of-a-kind cakes being shared with neighbors and friends. From humble beginnings and a dream for a better life, Rosa and her husband, Raul Sr., embarked on a cake-filled adventure. Upon emigrating from Cuba and reaching California, she opened her first storefront on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park in 1976. What started as a small, home-based operation soon flourished into a beloved bakery. Rosa’s legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who, alongside a dedicated team, continue to craft irresistible baked goods and carry forward the cherished Porto’s tradition.

To Serve
- Preheat oven to 400° F. While oven is preheating, stack two baking sheets, one on top of the other. Place provided parchment paper on the top baking sheet then place pastries on parchment paper and make sure pastries have at least 1/2" of space between each piece to bake evenly.
- Place the two baking sheets in the middle of the oven. Bake pastries 20-30 minutes in a conventional oven, 15-20 minutes for convection, or until golden brown. While they bake, prepare simple syrup by placing 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of sugar in a saucepan and stir to combine over medium to high heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture has come to a boil, remove from heat. Because all ovens vary, check the pastries 5 minutes before the recommended baking time.
- When pastries are done, remove from oven and brush them with simple syrup while they are still hot. Let the pastries cool down completely before you enjoy them, which takes about 15 minutes since the filling takes longer to cool.
- Serve & enjoy!
