Cake preens from its pedestal at the wedding, birthday, and coronation. It marks the moment. Sometimes it is the moment. You’re not officially six until you’ve downed the ceremonial bite.
Cake can go casual: coffee cake, tea cake, cupcake. Even layer cake, when forked from the fridge by the enthusiast in pajamas, defines downtime.
Still, it’s hard for cake to shake its social status. The afternoon slump, readily countered by brownie or cookie, is rarely met with German chocolate. Too fancy, too full-on.
Consider, then, the cake sandwich. Two slim slices of pale butter cake, spread with creamy chocolate frosting. Classic components reformatted into a portable, hand-held device.
The innovation frees layer cake from formality. Users trained on PB&J will find the technology simple: Just slip each triangle from its waxed bag, download, and "like."
Inspiration once again! Thank you! Brilliant!
So glad to receive your creative recipes. First one I'm going to try is the hand-held cake, and then the brown-butter chocolate chip cookies, and then ... I will add them to the collection I made from the Tribune Magazine!! Thank you!
