A quick photo of yesterday’s lunch. Delicious baguette sandwiches and a chocolate/raspberry cake. Note to self: find a set of matte gold flatware.

your creations never seize to amaze me!
You are too sweet, thank you!
Please tell me there is going to be a recipe for this somewhere, sometime…!
I’m not planning on doing a full post about it but here are some quick directions:
It was a simple chocolate cake (use your favorite recipe) and vanilla swiss meringue buttercream (tutorial by sweetapolita: http://sweetapolita.com/2011/04/swiss-meringue-buttercream-demystified/). For the topping I did a version of the momofuku milk crumbs: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/recipes/2012/06/27/lemon-berry-crunch-cake/
Between each layer of cake I put a bit of buttercream and then spread a heaping of crumbs. For the swirled colored frosting I used some extra powdered freeze dried raspberries from the crumbs and mixed it in with the buttercream.
What a wonderful lunch!

this cake is stunning! I love the marbled icing!
Thank you! I have a tendency to over smooth out my frosting and was afraid I’d take the swirled look, but I quite like how it came out
i’m thinking i want to celebrate my half birthday so i can order a cake from you! haha
this looks so lovely, sara.

I would be honored to make you a cake, Jennifer!
Yum squared and cubed!
What a treat to return to! Glad you had a wonderful lunch.
Thank you!
Delicious baguette sandwiches AND a chocolate/raspberry cake??? I could have that for lunch everyday for the rest of the month! Forget that, I could have it everyday for the rest of the year!
Me too, throw in some pickles and I’m good. (I LOVE pickles.)
