Pineapple Pastry


                                        When I was a kid, every Saturday, my mom used to take me to Hanuman Temple. And on the way back, we used to stop many times in Monginis, a popular chain of bakeries which was very famous some 20 years back. This cake shop had many pastries and cakes. The pastries which were most popular back then were Black forest pastry and Pineapple pastry. They were delicious.          Nowadays, many bakeries have sprung,, many more international and national brands are available. But this pineapple pastry takes me back to my childhood....
