    Truly beautiful photos!!!
    I have one tiny questions- do you need a certain mold to use or can you use a muffin/cupcake pan?

    Your blog never fails to surprise me. I gasped when I saw these beautiful, beautiful, golden yellow things. It's just so beautiful. Then I looked at the recipe and figured it would be superdelicious as well.

    Thank you for all your compliments!

    Aran,
    I take my blog with lots of love and seriousness. If there is a professional making the recipes, there's also a professional taking the pictures...
    We're a couple (and a team) and we work together on this blog.
    If I have at home the best architect and architectural photographer now I also have my best food photographer!
    I'd be crazy if I didn't take this advantage...

    kiss

    Standing ovation-- Applause and more Applause. Stunning photo. You are both artists par excellence.

    Leonor, every time I wonder what it is that you are going to do next. Shoot a cake in zero gravity?

    Anyway it seems some work harder than others to make cool pictures ;D

    I'm portuguese and I've had these before, they are really good. I remember many times in Portugal sitting at one of the coffee shops with a Galao and Papos de Anjo. :)

    Great photos.

    Dessert looks wonderful, but the photography reeled me in. Simply magnificient!

    Ainda bem Leonor que consegues transformar a nossa pastelaria, muitas vezes considerada "tosca", em verdadeiras obras de arte. É um previlégio ter-te a representar os nossos doces desta maneira. A primeira foto é um espectáculo!

    Wow! I love this--cool.

    Seeing these enchanting pics on a Sunday morning, I'm suddenly aware that I need something to go with my coffee. Beautiful and droolworthy. Nice job!

    Aos anos que não faço papos de anjo e esta receita lembrou-me outros tempos. Blog lindíssimo, vou voltar. Bjs.

    Outstanding photos, especially the first one. I've never heard of this dessert before but I want to try it! One question though.. is it usually eaten on it's own, or with an accompaniment?
