Edda’s Cake Designs - Review - South Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Growing up in Miami, you were likely either a Lucila’s or Edda’s household—a partisan to a cakeshop rivalry half a century old. Lucila eventually sold her shop to new ownership. Meanwhile, Edda’s expanded like self-rising flour. Today, you can even find her mini bundt cakes at Milam’s. But nothing beats a vanilla rum cake from her shop. It’s moist, not too boozy, and has thick frosting so sweet that no one ever ever actually finishes a whole slice. Their deluxe cakes come in fun decorations, like unicorns or soccer balls, but nothing as grand (or Miami) as the guayabera cake. The detailing of the pockets and stitching is impressive but takes time, so place your order at least 48 hours before Tio Joaquin’s birthday party. For an extra $12, you can even order it with a mini edible cigar on the side. He’ll appreciate it after your aunt made him quit his Cohibas." - Virginia Otazo
