Hillcrest welcomed the return of tortas de bebe<\/strong> on July 8 as a pop-up outlet for its famous cupcakes and full-size cakes inside Yogur de Fiyi<\/strong> en el Mercado HUB Hillcrest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Babycakes left its popular digs on nearby Fifth Avenue a year ago to focus on its larger facility in Paradise Hills while maintaining its coffeehouse and bake shop in Imperial Beach. At the time, it operated as a retail shop and bar.<\/p>\n

Co-owner Christopher Stavros says the Hillcrest outlet will be temporary until he settles on a permanent space. 1010 University Ave., 619-990-2282<\/em>,

Those same pies are now also available by the slice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done whole pies for catering and weddings since we opened, and thought it was time to change it up at the restaurant,\u201d Torres said to San Diego Uptown News via email. \u201cWe are still doing individual size sweet pies with minimum orders, but this format is here to stay,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
