🐚🥐 May 1st Dessert Logo Drop: Co**ha (Pan Dulce) Edition 🇲🇽✨

The countdown to Jan 1, 2027 keeps getting sweeter! On the 1st of every month, we’re dropping a dessert-themed Avalon logo — plus a quick bite of history to match.

May’s pick: Co**ha — the iconic Mexican pan dulce with the signature “shell” topping. 💛

📚 Quick history bite: Co**has are a beloved staple in Mexican bakeries, shaped by European sweet-bread traditions and made uniquely Mexican with that crackly sugar crust and bold patterns. It’s a go-to treat with coffee, hot chocolate, or just because☕️

🥕🍰 April 1st Dessert Logo: Carrot Cake 🌷🐣
The countdown to Jan 1, 2027 keeps getting sweeter! On the 1st Friday of every month, we’re dropping a dessert-themed Avalon logo — plus a quick bite of history to match.

April’s pick: Carrot Cake — the official flavor of springtime. 🌼

📚 Quick history bite: Long before it was a bakery favorite, carrots were baked into cakes as a natural way to add sweetness when sugar was expensive or hard to find. That eventually became the classic we know and love: spiced cake + cream cheese frosting = undefeated.
