For my birthday this 12 months, I splurged on a flowery cake from a flowery bakery. It was tall and grand and exquisite. However the bizarre factor was…
My buddy 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 ideal and all the children 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 Cakes Are the Best Cakes.” The frosting-to-cake ration is healthier on sheet muffins, 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 effectively.”
Bought! Now I need to attempt making some with the boys. Smitten Kitchen has three that look scrumptious — chocolate, confetti, and a sheet cake version of the strawberry cake that changed our lives a couple of years in the past.
Do you might have any sheet cake recipes you’re keen on? Or sturdy cake opinions? I’d love to listen to…
P.S. A slice-and-bake cookies taste test, an apple pound cake, and what birthday cake do you like?
