  1. Wow, that is a pretty dessert. I have honestly never tried flan before. This makes it look good. It almost seems as if it is a cheese cake on top of a regular cake. Would you say this is your favorite dessert?

  3. Wow, that looks great. I think I’ve tried flan once before, isn’t it like a custard? Also is flan reserved for special occasions or something you can enjoy anytime?

    1. Thank you!... I haven't had custard before so I cannot tell you how similar they are. you can make flan whenever you want. it is not just for special occasions. But we need to be careful with flan and colesterol. it has a lot of eggs. It is good once in a while, just to be safe.

  4. Anything with that much caramel, cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar, must be great! I'm going to have to try it!
