Krumbs was asked to make a cake this weekend for the annual inspiring hope gala that resembles the picture of a cake on the invitations. Well, we did try and it you be the judge how it came out. What a fun project, guys I really love my job! I hope all of you like what you are doing as much as I do. Cheers, Christian
There's a Japanese proverb "It's easier to make it than thinking about it." That was what came to mind when I thought about making this cake. You see, my mind works in interesting ways. I guess you could say I look at the worls through cake-frosted glasses, going about my days turning images, objects and even people into cakes with my imagination. One day, I saw a picture of a 15th century pagoda in Yokohama, Japan and I thought to myself, "What a great cake that would make!" I just needed a special occasion to run with my imagination and put it on a cake platter. So when my friend Marie Rios, co-founder of the Bay Area Weeding Network asked me to be a sponsor of their event at the Marines' Memorial Club & Hotel in San Francisco, I saw it as THE opportunity to make my pagoda. The biggest challenges that come with building a cake like this are: size, weight, construction and of course transportation. It took more than 30 hours but was worth every second. I got so many great compliments and was thrilled to see so many attendees taking pictures of it with their cell phone cameras
Boy oh boy, what a fun job breading this basket. In the end it was definitely worth the time I spent. Took a little time to figure out how to do it and make it look good though. The cake is pumpkin spice and is filled with an English Toffee cream. I tried to come up with something to compete with the traditional pie and it was received very well by my customers. Mark your calenders if you guys want to have something different for Thanksgiving dessert next year.
