Purple Velvet Bakery It’s a lovely small Irish bakery in Prado street, La Laguna. It was first opened in 1981 by Arthur O’malle because he believed that Spanish bakery it was too sweet and tourist would be prefer his recipes. People form UK or Ireland are used to eating less sugar pastry, so they tasted it delicious. Even though, the bakery was designed for tourist at first, local people loved it too and now it is more popular among them than foreigners. On the one hand, it is widely known that Spanish bakery used to add tons of sugar. On the other hand, scientists discovered years ago how bad is sugar. Arthur O’malle thought in a way to use less sugar and that is the success of the business “you don’t need to add a lot of sugar in order to make pastry sweet, because of technological advance in twenty years time sugar is bound to disappear”, he said. Instead of sugar he added fruits. At The beginning people from canary islands were not used to eating fruity sweets, but now they prefer it. The service is really fast and waiters always have a smile in their faces. If the bakery is busy, it has takeaway service; so there is no excuse for order their famous Irish Tart de Apple.
