Making Pastel Payaso
Where did the name come from?
I come from a family of bakers, in fact my great-great grandparents used to own a bakery in Corpus Christi where I am from! Although that talent was not passed down to me, I love of all kinds of pastries and pan dulce, some of of my favorites being Cortadillo and Polverones Rosas.
I am also a big fan of clowns; I have been gifted many clown related knickknacks and I've even dressed as one on several occasions. I think the ability to be a little silly and make people smile is something we should all embrace.
The name came about by combining two things that I love "Pastel" means cake in spanish, and "Payaso" meaning clown: and just like that the Pastel Payaso brand was born! (and if you're childish like me it's a funny bonus getting to sign off on emails as PP)
