Kristina Lavallee Shares Her Signature Puerto Rican Cake on FOX 13's Dinner DeeAs Dessert Week!

At The Cake Girl, we believe that every great dessert tells a story — and Kristina Lavallee’s story was front and center during FOX 13’s Dinner DeeAs Dessert Week! 🍰✨

Kristina was honored to join MasterChef finalist and Dinner DeeAs host, Chef Jeff Philbin, for a special segment highlighting one of her most beloved creations: her Signature Puerto Rican Cake. Growing up in Puerto Rico, Kristina learned early on that food isn’t just about flavors — it’s about culture, tradition, and family. Her Puerto Rican Cake is a tribute to those roots, with its light, moist crumb, subtle almond essence, and rich history.

During the fun and lively segment, Kristina walked viewers through the process of making this beloved recipe, sharing tips, techniques, and a few family secrets along the way. 🍰 From the importance of using the right extracts to achieving the perfect texture, Kristina brought the warmth of her kitchen right into homes across Tampa Bay and beyond.

Chef Jeff brought his signature energy to the set, and together, they created a sweet moment that truly captured what Dessert Week is all about — celebrating flavor, passion, and creativity.
