Cake-on-the-go

Cake-on-the-go

Level:
Difficult
I think cakes are a very underrated but versatile component in pastry. I wanted to come up with a unique way to consume this classic dessert, one that does not include any cutlery or mess, and that eliminates the overly sweet heaviness of a traditional cake and icing combo. The look is inspired by some of the Indian sweets I grew up eating, and I was always fascinated by the variety in shapes you could achieve, for a dessert that can be easily eaten on-the-go.   Explorer, Hedonist, Health seeker
