Maybe it was all the birthday celebrations this weekend, I don't know. All I know is that I woke up this morning thinking of cake. Specifically, Lilikoi cake with buttercream frosting. What is Lilikoi you say? Our levely Hawaiian word for Passion-fruit. Mmmm. So with cake and weddings on the brain this morning, of course the first people that come to mind are Rick and Sasha of Cakelava. I'm a simple gal and I've always loved the look of this elegant Hawaiian-inspired cake decorated with Monstera leaves.
But what I'm really thinking about right now is what's inside all these beautiful cakes. Guava Lava? Banana Nutella? Broke da Mouth? I go with Broke da Mouth- a colored mango cake with mango Li hing mui curd and cream filling. Yum. Maybe that's what's in this Indian inspired cake...
Besides tasting good, a cake's got to look good and I'm endlessly amazed at the way Cakelava can go from an elegant Hawaiian themed cake (like the Monstera) to a Seattle Seahawk's stadium groom's cake (check it here) to traditional scrolls and flowers. I think I'm going to start calling husband and wife team Rick and Sasha, the 'Cakelava Chameleons'...
Here's to starting your day with a yummy slice of Hawaii!
