|Tres Leches Mini Cake|

Thoroughly enjoyed making this cake for a customer. From making the bisochuelo to adding the finishing touch of crossing two cinnamon sticks together.

Very simple. Very sweet.

|Beloved|

The day of my sister's wedding draws nearer. Excitement, anxiety, and joy are visible on everyone's faces as the preparation phase comes to an end. In less than a week my sister will be a Mrs. and I will have more space to put my guitars, books, and baking utensils. I jest.

But never in a million years did I imagine I would have the privilege to make her cake, (now cakes; one for the bridal shower, the other for her wedding), and yet here we are. I'm so excited about the day and hope you like my cake. (Hope you enjoyed the bridal shower one!)

Thank you, Bet, for being a great sister, and a greater friend and counselor. May God bless you and your new family, for you are His Beloved and He is yours.

Thanksgiving Thursdays|
|Restaurant #2 Pollo Inti Restaurant|

I was a senior in high school when I waited tables at Pollos Inti Sterling. I have many beautiful memories and cherish the friends I made at my uncle's beloved restaurant. Now, I am proud to be part of their story still, and thankful they are still in mine. Thank you, Pollos Inti Sterling, for allowing us to serve your establishment! You believe in our products. And for that, we are thankful.

Pollo Inti Restaurant is a Peruvian Restaurant that serves one of the tastiest pollo a la brasas in Sterling, VA. Their authentic marinade is replete of flavors that make their rotisserie chicken a mouth-watering experience. Though, in my opinion, a dish that excels even more in flavor is the carne asada with their tasty black and pinto beans and cebolla that adds sweetness and texture to the plate.

Other signature Peruvian dishes they serve are ceviche mixto, papá rellena, and bistec a lo pobre. If you stop by during the weekends, you will also see special dishes such as Trío Criollo and my personal favorite, El Aeropuerto. If you go to Pollo Inti Sterling, be prepared for a "homey" and enjoyable visit.

P.S. Be sure to buy a box or two of Dieguito's Bakery mini alfajores. They're to die for.

Dieguito's Choice: Desayuno Peruano

Dieguito's Bakery Products Sold: Classic-Shaped Mini Alfajores
Alpaca Alfajores (on special occasions)

THANKSGIVING THURSDAYS - MAMÁ
Today's a special Thanksgiving Thursday because it lands on my mother's birthday. I'm so thankful for her and the hard work she has done so that I succeed. I'm blessed beyond measure that God gave me a kind and caring mother to guide me in every aspect of my life. Not only did you show me that it pays off to work hard, but you also have taught me that nothing, no matter how difficult it may seem, is impossible. Thank you, mamá; I love you!

|Thanksgiving Thursdays|
|Restaurant #1 Pollo Inti II|

Before "Dieguito's Bakery" was ever a thought, my momma would bake cakes and alfajores as a hobby. But when Pollo Inti II gave us the opportunity to sell our mini alfajores at their establishments, what was a side project turned into a small business. And for that, we are thankful.

Pollo Inti II is a Peruvian Restaurant that excels at making pollo a la brasa. Their authentic marinade is replete of flavors that make their rotisserie chicken one of the best in Loudoun County.

Other signature Peruvian dishes they serve are ceviche mixto, arroz con pollo, and Lomo saltado. If you stop by during the weekends, you may be able to catch local musicians play by their spectacular wooden bar where they serve their custom and signature Peruvian drinks. If you go to Pollo Inti II, be prepared for a mouth-watering visit.

P.S. Be sure to buy a box or two of Dieguito's Bakery mini alfajores. They're to die for.

Dieguito's Choice: Bistec a lo Pobre (a juicy steak served with Pollo Inti's signature white rice, salad, fries, fried plantains, and topped with a fried egg)

Dieguito's Bakery Products Sold: Classic-Shaped Mini Alfajores

Pollo Inti II Location: 544 Fort Evans Rd NE, Leesburg, VA 20176

Gracias Pollo inti II 😊

Hello, Dieguito's Bakery customers! I have a vital announcement to make. Starting this Thursday (tomorrow), we will be initiating a weekly appreciation post called "Thanksgiving Thursdays," where each week I will highlight some of my customers who have built this project into what it is today.

Starting these posts will be the restaurants where I've had the joy and honor of selling selected pastries at their establishments. These posts will contain a brief history, the pastries I sell there, and a dish I recommend ordering at their lovely restaurants. So with that, be ready for tomorrow's post!

|Bells|

A little throwback to two years when we catered to a pair of love birds. We made their invitation cookies and also had the honor of making their wedding desserts.

I remember the nervousness of making these cookies. I wanted them to be perfect, especially since it was the first time we catered for a wedding. I asked the bride-to-be how she wanted her cookies, and she told me she wanted them "bell-shaped" with her and her fiancé's initials.

Now, reflecting on all that's taken place in the history of our brief existence, I've added a layer of meaning to the beauty of bells. There's something divine to these funny instruments; the soul awakens at their chimes. Bells announce the end of an era and the beginning of something new, most of the time, something better. Church bells ring in the union of two souls—the city bells ring when the cavalry returns home, bringing peace after months of war. And one day, bells will ring when heaven and earth kiss.

But here, in the now, in this small business, the bells are metaphorically ringing in March. We'll be changing and adding new desserts to our roster and focusing more on catering events. So, please come over and ring these bells with us. Join the Dieguito's Bakery family and be a part of our history.

I can't believe how much this little business has grown. It wasn't my intention, but I'm happy with what we've accomplished. Can't wait to see what's next.

S.D.G.

P.S.
Speaking of change, you can even see our old logo.

Dieguito's Bakery is now adding one of Peru's most creamy custards to its roster. Crema Volteada- commonly referred to as flan-is a silky milk-based dessert topped with a sugary syrup that awakens the taste buds. After one bite, one cannot resist getting another mouth-watering spoonful.

|New Beginnings|

I'm so thankful for all my customers, but I'd like to note one. This beloved customer not only bought my first batch of cookies with my first logo back in 2020, but she also bought my first batch of cookies with the new logo.

Call it a serendipitous fluke or a predetermined appointment; regardless, I can only say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

|Art in all forms|

I never expected to be a baker. Three years ago, I was a broke college kid trying to sell alfajores to other broke college kids. I aspired to become one of the best artists and writers the 21st century would ever produce (ambitious and arrogant, I know), but I needed money and fast.

My momma had a side business selling these Peruvian delights to 2 family-owned restaurants, but she needed help, so she taught me how to make them. I then started selling them at school and in my neighborhood. It didn't take long to realize the bakery business was a money maker, and slowly but surely, Dieguito's Bakery grew, and it continues to grow today.

But, it took a while to realize that there is artistry in making these baked goods—baking was a means to an end, but now I see beauty in gastronomy and the pastry arts. There's a particular joy once you recognize how combining various powders of grains and sugars can produce a cookie or a cake. There's a science to it, but it also seems like magic. A magic that's shared with others. Just like a good novel or a song that allows one to feel a note's color, baking contains an enchantment that, if done right, sets the mood for good conversation, for the making of memorable moments, and the sweetening of an already sweetened evening.

There is art everywhere; baking is no exception.
