For my birthday this 12 months, I splurged on a elaborate cake from a elaborate bakery. It was tall and grand and exquisite. However the bizarre factor was…
My good friend Ziva — of Chipwiches fame — additionally introduced over a grocery retailer sheet cake and guess which one was simply essentially the most scrumptious? Hers. It was easy and excellent and all the youngsters and adults dove in for seconds.
Then, this week, in a traditional case of Baader Meinhof, I noticed a New York Instances article proclaiming “Sheet Desserts Are the Greatest Desserts.” The frosting-to-cake ration is best on sheet truffles, the author argued, and “not solely are they simpler to bake — no annoying trimming or crumb coatings required — however additionally they feed a crowd and journey properly.”
Offered! Now I wish to strive making some with the boys. Smitten Kitchen has three that look scrumptious — chocolate, confetti, and a sheet cake model of the strawberry cake that modified our lives just a few years in the past.
Do you’ve any sheet cake recipes you like? Or robust cake opinions? I might love to listen to…
P.S. A slice-and-bake cookies style take a look at, an apple pound cake, and what birthday cake do you want?
