Facturas

Facturas (sg.: factura) is the name given in Argentina to describe any type of pastry, sweet bread, viennoiserie or cake. The Facturas were introduced by immigrants from the Italian, German and French confectionery industry, each of the different varieties were renamed by the Sociedad Cosmopolita de Resistencia y Colocación de Obreros Panaderos, which strongly adhered to anarchism (with names that insulted the established power). In Uruguay, somewhat similar baked goods are made, there known as bizcochos.
