The Original Cakelova, pavlova and tres leches cake – Pavlova by FM Miami

What Is a Cakelova®? The Miami Dessert That Combines Pavlova and Tres Leches

Some desserts are simply enjoyed. Others become a tradition. The Cakelova® was born in our Miami kitchen from a simple idea: what if a pavlova and a tres leches cake became one?

What is a Cakelova®?

The Cakelova® is our signature creation, a fusion of two desserts loved across Latin America and around the world:

  • A crunchy almond meringue base, the signature of every Pavlova by FM dessert.
  • A layer of artisan dulce de leche.
  • A soft cake soaked in tres leches.
  • Our signature house cream.
  • A crown of fresh strawberries.

The result is crunchy, soft and creamy at the same time, and it is why so many customers say they have never tasted anything like it.

A registered original

The Cakelova® is a registered trademark of Pavlova by FM. We created it from scratch, and today many people in Miami recognize it as something original and different.

Is there a gluten-free Cakelova?

Our Cakelovas contain gluten because of the tres leches cake, but we can prepare them gluten-free on request. Text us at 786-653-3957 before ordering and we’ll take care of it. Looking for something naturally gluten-free? Try our Classic Pavlova.
