Cake Meltdown

HAVE YOU ever bought a Slice of Cake from a famous shop, rush back home, eat it and dislike it?
Have you ever wonder why?
Or
Do you just assume it's not delicious?

Don't Worry, Cake man to the rescue!

Here's 3 reasons :
1) Different Preference
- One man's meat is another man's poison
- If we all have the same preference, we would all be sharing Partners right now ;)

2) Screwed up
- Cake wasn't done properly *Nobody is perfect
- We, Chef do make mistake too

3) Cake must be eaten Real Cold (0-3C)
- Try eating a Mousse/Cheese cake at temp above 10c * You would shoot yourself in the head
- Most cake are served at about 5c, within few minutes it will reach 10c or more *This is why the first bite is always the best
- Temperature will affect Mouth feel, Flavor, Sensation in the mouth


Here's a few trick to keep your cake at Best for various Occasion

1) STOP , If you just bought a cake, returning to home to eat it straight

- Traveling from the cake shop to your home would take a while, cake won't be cold
- Store in fridge for at least an hour to allowed it to become real cold again *Patience is virtue


2) FREEZE, If you are bringing a cake to your friend house to eat it straight
- Keep the cake in the Freezer an hour before leaving home
- Trust me, it's worth the effort

3) DRY ice to the rescue
 - If you are a real foodie, go buy dry ice *Like BasketRobbin



My Friends always ask me why is my cakes always Semi-Frozen

My Answer would be "By the time you are half way through the cake, it will still be perfectly cold" *Wouldn't you like your beer SUPER COLD?
