How Sweet It Is: Pastry chef Maik Kraemer with banana toffee cake at Ka’Kau in Escazú.
The glossy display case at the front of Ka’Kau Cake Shop and Restaurant is tough to resist when walking into the bakery-café in the western San José suburb of Escazú. Made by the restaurant’s German owner and pastry chef, Maik Kraemer, the pies and cakes on display tempt patrons with impressively decorated slices of banana toffee cake, raspberry tarts, chocolate cake and other delights. Nearby on the counter, fresh-baked muffins, cinnamon buns and other pastries offer more temptations.
