Hispanic Heritage Month: Celebrating with Traditional Desserts and Kristina Lavallee’s Signature Puerto Rican Cake

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we take pride in honoring the rich cultural traditions and delicious flavors that make our heritage so special. At The Cake Girl, we are especially excited to share the story of Kristina Lavallee’s signature Puerto Rican Cake, a dessert that captures the essence of Puerto Rican baking and has gained national recognition.


Kristina Lavallee’s Puerto Rican Cake: A Slice of Heritage

Kristina Lavallee, our founder and head cake designer, has always been inspired by her Puerto Rican roots. Growing up in Puerto Rico, she learned the art of baking from her mother, Chef Margarita Perez, and developed her own signature recipe for Puerto Rican Cake. This cake is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, featuring rich almond flavors and a delicate texture that has become a hallmark of The Cake Girl.


A National Spotlight on The Today Show

Kristina’s Puerto Rican Cake recently received national acclaim when it was featured on The Today Show in New York City. Hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Sheinelle Jones, and Dylan Dreyer had the pleasure of tasting this dessert live on air, and it was met with rave reviews. They praised it as one of the best cakes they have ever tried, a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that Kristina pours into every creation.


This moment on The Today Show was not just about showcasing a delicious cake; it was about sharing a piece of Puerto Rican culture and celebrating the flavors that make our heritage unique. It was an honor to bring this traditional dessert to a wider audience and highlight the beauty of Hispanic culinary traditions.
