Russos cake tasting
I posted this on the BHB board, but wanted to post it here too!!
We had the cake tasting tonight at Russo's....O...M...G!!!
They had 10 cakes out for us to try (peaches and cream, opera cake - chocolate cake with vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut, strawberry shortcake, orea mousse, tiramisu, red velvet, brooklyn blackout - devil's food cake with chocolate fudge/pudding and raspberry preserves, carrot cake, hazelnut, and cannoli). There's actually 25 different types of cakes you can choose, but they gave us the most popular ones for the spring/summer. They also had 5 different possible designs that we could choose from, but had a book with over 20 different designs that we could pick and choose from. So if we liked one design from one cake, but wanted different colors or different pipping or different flowers, that was totally doable!!
The executive pastry chef, Marco, and the executive pastry artist, Jesse, were there to answer any and all of our questions. They were able to give us opinions on what looked better and had alternate designs that we could choose from.
The first cake I'm posting is the cake that we want, but instead of a pink ribbon, we're going with a black bow and then our black crystal initial cake topper will be on top with red roses surrounding it. The other 5 cakes are those cakes that were present at the tasting!
Feel free to FM me if you have any questions!!!
