cakes

What better way to welcome spring than with these cheery cakes!

Let the lucky recipient believe that it’s a testament to the power of love, or perhaps some wild baking alchemy, but the truth is grounded in good old-fashioned advanced planning. Little more work than crafting two standard, separate cakes, some clever cookie cutter usage and a heaping cup of patience are the only secret ingredients here.

A medley of aromas hung in the air, and with each breath, you could almost taste the food being served up at the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, on March 3.
