I scoped out the website on the card that came attached to a cake recently delivered to a coworker (I'm nosy like that), and I was shocked to find out that this beautiful chocolate and strawberry encrusted cake was $70. Seventy bucks! For a ten inch birthday cake! I was incredulous.
And then I tasted the cake and $70 became a totally reasonable amount to spend on a birthday cake. The one my coworker received was the chocolate strawberry cake, which, yes, was only about 10 inches across, but seemed at least a foot high. Our office of 20 or so people has been eating off of it for two days, and we still have some leftover.
The cake was three layers of lovely , fine crumbed chocolate cake, iced with fresh whipped cream that had been ever so slightly sweetened and tinged with cocoa powder, with layers of fresh sliced strawberries in between the cake and whipped cream goodness. If you're someone who doesn't really like traditional birthday cake icing, this whipped cream fantasy is for you.
If you're looking to surprise someone with a cake on their birthday but can't make it to them in person, this is a great option. read more
