“It was so tall that it nearly touched the ceiling. On the top was a gigantic crown made of almond paste. Hanging from the crown by sticks of barley sugar were hundreds of chocolate cupids. Then there was a layer of coffee cream, and then there was a layer of sponge cake; then there was a layer of vanilla cream, and then there was a layer of plum cake; then there was a layer of nougat and then there was a huge band of pink and white icing, with little models of all the animals in the wood in chocolate. And at the bottom, right in the middle, was a huge tray of strawberries that had been dipped in liquid sugar, so that when the sugar dried it made a little glass case around each fruit, which crackled when you bit it.” Extract from The Stream That Stood Still by Beverley Nichols
I recently engaged Cookies and Cake to make the cake for my Mum’s 60th Birthday. Mum had requested a cake described in a novel. The brief was very elaborate – and in parts physically impossible! However, Corinna brought imagination, artistry and extreme professionalism to the job. In a very short time frame she came up with adaptations and solutions to the problems in the brief which captured the essential qualities of the imaginary cake and made them real. The end product was a work of art, beautiful and delicious, which Mum described as her “dream cake”. Many thanks to Corinna for all her hard work.
