About Dulcito Desserts - Zetland

Zetland’s go-to for rich Latin American baking delivers everything from soaked tres leches to last-minute whole party cakes. Regulars queue outside for decadent wedges of the Bruce Bogtrotter-inspired Matilda chocolate cake topped with rose petals, while expats find a genuine taste of home in traditional quesillo and dulce de leche alfajores. Slices of creamy tiramisu and berry-topped Basque cheesecake make solo cravings just as easy to satisfy on a whim.

  • Latin American Heritage Bakes: Soaked three-milk cakes, Venezuelan quesillo, and dulce de leche alfajores bring comforting Latin American bakery flavors to Zetland.
