Pastelería America in Ajijic

Shoutout to them for their variety of cakes by the slice, individual tarts, mousses and cookies.  They will also make cakes of any size, decorated to order for holidays, etc.  They are easy to work with on special orders.  

On Monday they had slices of zanahoria (carrot) cake, flan cake (chocolate cake with layer of vanilla flan), cappuccino cake, mini pecan tarts, individual limón and also strawberry mousses over a cookie crust.  And a host of galletas!

Their Ajijic location is on the southside of carretera between Galeana and Marcos Castellanos.  I believe their main location is in Chapala.

I mentioned their chocolate flan cake earlier. It's my favorite.

What I found out recently is that this cake is un Pastel Mágico.  

The magic is because the layers in the baking pan switch positions during cooking.

Here's the science behind this super moist chocolate cake with flan.

Just what I need. . Oh, dear.

I've continued to buy cake slices here and they remain excellent.

A few days ago I bought their chocolate mousse.

Oy---I almost wish I hadn't seen it...so rich, smooth, decadent.

A caloric bomb, I'm sure.

While I generally love pastries and can pig out on them easily, I can't stand most Mexican cake- what others might consider super moist, I consider wet, and can't handle wet baked goods. Like I would never dip a cookie in milk, and even watching someone do it turns my stomach.
Now chocolate mousse- I could eat way too much of that.
