Raspberry Biscoff to mini glass cakes: Such a variety here
Talking about the trend, Shweta Aggarwal, founder of Kookie Cake Crumble, says, “Fruit cakes are definitely high on the popularity list. While some people usually don’t like to mix flavours, on the other hand we also have a lot of takers willing to experiment.”
If you're wondering what combinations work best together, Swheta elaborates on the various fruit cake varieties and informs, “We have done dark chocolate with pineapple, dark chocolate with fresh berries as well as a pure Berry Blast, which is an absolute hit amongst a lot of clients. We add in a hint of mascarpone and white chocolate in this cake. What's more one can have the treat in the form of a cake, a trifle as well as individual mini glasses for parties and other gatherings, which are so appealing."
The treats are so Instagrammable with colours meeting taste. Sharing a few examples of this, she reveals, “The Raspberry Biscoff Cheesecake is definitely like that. Here. it's not made just with a regular Biscoff, but we infuse a homemade raspberry compote in the cheesecake too and the flavours match beautifully together."
'In the monsoon, it's time for stone fruit gateaux with plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, lychees'
One can do a beautiful mango berry cake or trifle as well and adds, Swheta, "In the monsoon, it's time for stone fruit gateaux with plums, peaches, cherries, apricots and add a hint of shahi lychees, too.”
3 DESIGN IDEAS TO USE
- One easy trick to make raspberries eye-catching is to dust them with powdered sugar.
- Cherries can be used as another beautiful topping.
- Add tiny mint leaves in between the blueberries or blackberries on your cake topping.
TIPS TO FOLLOW WHEN MAKING A BERRY CAKE
By Swheta Agggarwal
- If making a berry cake, one should know how to choose the berries, though sometimes blackberries are difficult to source.
- Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries go very well together. Currants and cranberries could be sour on cakes.
- Raspberries also have a very short shelf life and catch fungus very fast. They should be chosen when they are absolutely red (they should firm like a jewel). The ones that soften are the ones that go bad very soon.
- One can also use frozen berries to make a compote as they are available all year round and are pocket-friendly as compared to fresh berries.
TIPS TO FOLLOW WHEN MAKING A MANGO CAKE
- Mangoes as you are aware come in varieties, but the best to work with is Alphonso.
- They have to be ripe enough and organically-grown. Always avoid mangoes grown with pesticides as they have a terrible taste.
- One can smell a mango and know what it’s going to taste like.
- Though mangoes start appearing in the market right since the months of February and March, during which a lot of bakers start their baking for the mango season, it's better to wait for the fruit to ripen naturally. I only work with mangoes only from mid-April.
