***************************************************************
I know sometimes I start gushing (Yes, I gush. I know. Shut up.) about a Cuban company because I love them so much. That’s always the case when I talk about Porto’s Bakery.
My friends in Miami – where there’s a Cuban bakery on every corner – mocked me so royally.
305 People: “We have a Cuban bakery on every corner and you have Porto’s. LOL!”
I found that the best way to stop that train is to send out a couple of boxes of pastelitos, potato balls, or cheese rolls from the Porto’s Bake at Home menu.
My, oh my, did they ever change their tune.
305 people: “This is the Best. Food. Ever!”
Of course, I’m not surprised. Because it’s true. Porto’s has the BEST. FOOD. EVER.
These past few months, I’ve been using their Bake at Home service. A lot. Because Cuban.
I reached out to Porto’s Bake at Home and asked if they’d like to sponsor a giveaway for my 14th Year in the Blogosphere. They said a quick and resounding, “Yes!”
Not only that, to celebrate my Blogoversary (14 Years, people!) they sent me one of their newest Bake at Home goodies – a luscious Milk ‘N Berries Cake. It arrives frozen and you just thaw it whenever you’re ready for some very Cuban deliciousness.
Full disclosure: We let it thaw a little too long. But still, it was fantastic and I’d definitely order it again! Also, thanks Porto’s!
Which brings me to The 10th MBFCF Fourteen Years in the Blogosphere Giveaway of 2020:
- 2 dozen Bake at Home pastries of the winner’s choice!
To enter the giveaway for a chance to win 2 dozen of Porto’s best Cuban pastries, please leave a comment right here on THIS POST and tell me:

I’ll be choosing ONE winner on Friday, October 23rd, 2020 at 11:00 am PST. You have until then to enter.
This is some serious Cubanity, people! Buen Provecho!
Um what doesn’t look good?!?! All the potato balls all the pastelitos. Can we have a sampler ?? Yum!
Cheese rolls, Chocolate Crossiant, Masa Real😋😋😋
I’ve been DYING to try Porto’s forever after learning about them from you! I would love to try the Arroz con Pollo Frito!
Que ricura!!!!!
Cheese pastelitos and guava and cheese pastelitos!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Beso 😘
Ody
It all looks ‘delicioso’ but I’m craving Guava & Cheese. No Cuban bakery by me ;(
It’s allllllllllll good!
But I would have to say that the Pastelitos de guayaba con queso take the win!!!
Porto’s delivers big on Cuban deliciousness for those of us in California. Everything is delicious and it’s cheaper than taking a trip to my beloved Miami. I’m partial to the cheese rolls and chicken empanadas.
Omg I need to win this!!! I love their meat pasteles and the guyuaba!
Everything looks delicious! I’d love to try the arroz con pollo frito and have a refugiado for dessert 🙂
My favorites are the potato balls and the meat empanadas. Sooo good!
I miss the potato balls (papa rellenas) and the pasteles de guayaba. My abuelas used to make the best of everything Cuban but I did not learn to make the papa’s rellenos and I can’t seem to find guava paste in my area.
Everything looks so good. Of course anything guava is a win. Their “guava strudel” is a must and would love to try their chicken empanadas.
Clearly the Pastel de Carne and Cheese Roll are an absolute MUST but the Chocolate Twist is also calling my name… This would be a very difficult (but delicious) decision!
Oh my goodness! I cannot believe! Because I’m Cuban.
I ordered the milk and berries cake for my husband‘s birthday!
I also am looking forward to the arroz con Pollo Frito!
Amazing 😍
The chicken empanadas look so good, so do the pastelitos and las papas rellenas. I would love to have a good authentic Cuban bakery near me.
Los pastelitos de guava look sooo good to me,
Def my fave.
Everything!
But love the potato balls aka papa rellenas and the refugiado
– pastelitos de Guayaba y queso!
Can’t go wrong!
I love the Porto’s papas rellenas and pasteleros de queso. Yum!
Uhhmm,..there isn’t a limit right? The items that look delicious to me are Cheese Rolls, Meat Pies, Papa Rellenas, Dulce de Leche Besito Cookies, Coconut Strudel, Cuban Bolillo, Chicken Croquettes, Ham Croquettes, Ham Tamales, Almond Croissants and the Mixed Berry Muffins…LOL! Thanks, Marta and Happy Anniversary!
Front the turkey/ gravy potato ball to the arroz con pollo Frita to even the guava pastelitos!! Everything looks so good. I love how this bakery makes thing you don’t see every where or have heard of… will definitely want to try the turkey and gravy potato ball!! It’s like thanksgiving in one bite. Yummm 😋
That chocolate twist they have looks pretty unbelievable!!
I’ve been to Porto’s while on vacay from Minnesota. Pastelitos de guayaba con queso for me!!! Why, you ask, to quote you, because, Cuban!
As soon as I clicked on the Porto’s link I saw “papas rellenas.” How I LOVE “papas rellenas.” My mom made them when my brother and I were kids and we looked forward to it. My mom is older now and she does not make them that often anymore but I surely do miss her “papas rellenas.” I am older as well and I cannot eat them as often as I would like.
Se me hace la boca agua!
Pastelitos, especially de guayaba y queso! Please pick me!!
The guava and the tres leches cake is the best. There is no one to compare.
Papa rellena and the pastellitos de queso for sure!
Definitely the potato balls! My kids loves anything potatoes so this would be a nice treat for them and a great way for our family to try true Cuban food being that we live in Fargo, ND.
You had me at chocolate croissant and papas rellenas
My Cubanita cousin/comadre lives in Los Angeles and she always raves about Porto’s! I am dying to go visit her just so I can go to Porto’s with her.
Went to Porto’s website, how do you only pick one item of choice?!?! It all looks so amazing! But a true Cuban has to go with pastel de guayaba.
I want them all!!! Ever since I moved out to the country over 1000 miles away from the 305 and my family, I cannot find any Cuban food. Of course my mom sends care packages with my favorite candies and cookies. My stomach started growling and I definitely started drooling when I went on the Porto’s site and saw my favorites Arroz Con Pollo Frito and the pastel de guayaba 🤤😊❤️
From bake at home the Pastelitos de guayaba and Pastelitos de carne. From the full menu una Medianoche!
The dulce de leche besito looks yummy! I like Porto’s
Guava & cheese ALL DAY. or the arroz con pollo balls.
Potato balls.. whatever the question is, the answer remains, potato balls.
papas rellenas, pastellitos de carne, refugiados… now I’m hungry!
