A brief cake interlude

When one chef has a birthday, the others might like to give a gift that will be cherished. The March 16th dinner saw one chef receive a copy of The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. To properly honor the birthday of the giver, a Blueberry Swan Lake cake was required.



This cake was quite an effort. The cake itself was White Chocolate Whisper. Between layers were strawberries and on top was a blueberry sauce. It was iced with stablized whipped cream.

Overall, the cake was quite delicious, though personally, this chef felt the cake was a little too buttery.

Stabilized whipped cream is awesome!
And don't think it can't be a delicious kosher treat. One of the chefs knows many tricks for making dishes as kosher as a matzah ball.
