Let me tell you... No! No! Let me show you why Anana Postres has some of the best cakes in Cordoba, Argentina.
We were first introduced to Anana Postres when we ordered from a restaurant called D'Lucas. D'Lucas is a Venezuelan restaurant in Cordoba City that offers all kinds of delicious food options, including some fabulous burgers.
As it turns out, they also offered enormous cake slices for dessert, which they got from Anana Postres. And unlike the cakes from the popular Argentine pastry company, Franceschini, Anana Postres offers cakes that are fresh, moist and delicious.
So, I contacted them through Instagram to see if they could send us their menu, which you can check out here, and the selections were mouthwatering. After sifting through their online menu, we decided to order a cake for our 9-year Wedding anniversary.
We opted for a medium sized red velvet cake, which offers about 20 slices for $1,800 Argentine pesos (plus $160 for delivery). The staff was so kind that they offered to add the number 20 to the top of the cake to commemorate our special day. But why 20 and not 9, you might ask? We chose 20 because 2021 will mark 20 years that the hubs and I have been together, and we felt that this number was more appropriate.
Side note: Anana Postres is LGBT friendly and have made pride cakes for clients in the past. But what we really needed was a mini-version of a wedding cake and they didn't disappoint. Now, before I show you what the cake looked like, let me give you some backstory.
It started in 2012, and before we got married, we sent invitations out to about 25 of our "closest" friends and family. We only heard from three people. We didn't have a ceremony because we were saving money to move to Argentina. So, we got married in City Hall. Still, there was an open invitation and no one came except for Zach's aunt and uncle, who were our witnesses.
A few months earlier, a sister and a niece of my hubby's uncle told us they were going to throw a bash for our wedding. We were gullible. In reality, they were just making fun of us and laughing behind our backs. To make a long story a bit shorter, we didn't get a wedding cake or a reception. My best man or best woman, was my future "cousin-in-law," but she bailed because she said she "had something to do." Not having her there broke my heart. Also, my hub's aunt and uncle treated our ceremony at City Hall like an errand that they put behind them as soon as it was over. I didn't think there was anything anyone from my hub's side of the family could do to make the memory of our wedding any worse, but I was wrong.
Last year, something happened that pissed us off. When the hub's aunt called him, he told her we were celebrating. Much to his dismay, she asked "What are you celebrating?" This woman was at our wedding, and she didn't even remember our special day! But I'll bet if you were to ask her if she remembers any of her other family member's wedding anniversary, she would have no trouble remembering. But you know what? Whatever! The important thing is that we finally got our wedding cake, and all I can say is that it was about time. So without further to do, here it is.
It was pretty big for a medium size cake. Then again, it was just the two of us at home. We didn't invite any of our Argentine friends over because we're still observing social distancing until we're vaccinated. But who knows?
Maybe a year from now, things will be different (and hopefully better), so we can celebrate our 21-year anniversary with them.
