About Us

Hello, I'm Flor Misita... and this is the story behind my pavlovas (and the Cakelova™)

I'm Flor, the person behind Pavlova by FM, and if you're reading this, thank you for taking a moment to get to know me.

What today is an artisan pastry shop in Miami was born in silence, in my kitchen, between trials, mistakes and a lot of love. I fell in love with pavlova, that dessert crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and I set out to perfect a recipe that could convey something more than flavor: joy, emotion and affection.

But I didn't stop at the classic recipe. Over time, I developed my own version of pavlova — one built on a crunchy almond meringue base that you won't find anywhere else. The almonds are baked right into the meringue, creating a deeper flavor and a satisfying crunch that makes every bite unlike any other pavlova in Miami. That's our signature. That's what makes Pavlova by FM different.

I create each pavlova by hand, layered with fresh fruit, dulce de leche, Nutella, or our signature house cream. I prepare each one as if it were for someone I love very much.

I have been lucky that many people choose me to celebrate special moments: birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or just because. I make pavlovas in the form of letters, numbers, hearts, in individual portions, and also giant pavlovas for events that steal all eyes.

And in the midst of all that, my most special creation was born: the Cakelova™.

A fusion that unites the crunchy almond meringue pavlova with tres leches cake, our signature house cream, dulce de leche and fresh fruits. It is a unique dessert, which I created from scratch, and that today many people recognize as something original and different. Seeing how it has become part of so many celebrations is something that still moves me deeply.

If you came here looking for the best pavlova in Miami, I sincerely hope you find it in one of my creations.

This is not a perfect business, but it is full of truth, dedication and a lot of love. Everything you see is done with my hands and my soul.

Thank you for being here, for reading me and for supporting the dreams that are baked with affection.

With love,

Flor Misita
