A cake for a masquerade theme party. It is almond cake with canolli filling. Canolli filling is made with ricotta impastata which is ricotta cheese with water drained out. It is heavy. The little "feather detail on the mask is cotton candy. Unfortunately it absorbed ambient moisture and ended up as a little pink blob, but no one seemed to notice.
I am not a fan of masquerades. I believe it is better to improve the real self than to hide behind a facade- a mask. On the other hand- maybe we all hide behind a mask of humanity and social decorum while the real self is but an animal - a beast that is poised to release its negativity on this world. Most religions urge us to stifle and control that beast. I do believe this beast can be put to sleep by nurturing the spring of common decency and compassion. Ultimately it is our decision. Do we pull out from within ourselves that spring of benevolence or that beast?
“A true believer does not taunt or curse or abuse or talk indecently.” Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Ymmmmmmmmmm This cake was TRULY SPECTACULAR, not just in the AMAZING look but how it tasted. WISH I could have some right now (droooool...)
ReplyDeleteYour artistic genius is unsurpassable!
in my opinion it is incredibly beautiful. The color scheme is befitting the occasion, gold on dark brown evokes the mystery and leads the imagination to sinister ideas. Well done Neelam.
