Located on the busy and somewhat dingy street of Portugal, this bakery and flower shop lights up the street. They are known best for their very detailed marzipan artwork. Every time you walk by the window display is updated with new - even more intricate cake designs than the week before. I honestly would have to say that the cake itself isn't that great, but the detailed decoration definitely is what makes these arts of work so spectacular. You can put together your own cake starting out with flavor of cake, filling and frosting. For my birthday, my partner ordered a small chocolate cake with a design of me on a yoga ball (what I use for a work chair) and my cellphone in hand. The details were great but the flavor definitely fell flat and was pretty dry. The total cost was 40 mil! It is definitely a bit on the expensive side for what you get but, like I said above, you are really paying for the art not the cake. The best part about Flor de Cafe is that they offer gluten-free cakes as well as cakes for diabetics!! Tip: They specialize in baby shower cakes and their artwork definitely reflects it - so keep that in mind. read more
