What Is a Pavlova and Why Is It Gluten-Free?
Named after the legendary Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, this iconic dessert is made from whipped egg whites and sugar—making it naturally gluten-free without any compromise on taste or texture. Unlike traditional meringues that are dry and crisp throughout, a pavlova features a delicate crispy shell with a pillowy soft interior that melts in your mouth.
At CAKES MAKER Miami, we elevate our pavlovas with a luscious layer of dulce de leche, fresh whipped cream, and seasonal fruits—creating a perfect harmony of textures and flavors that guests with dietary restrictions can enjoy alongside everyone else.
