Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
March 3rd, 2007 | by Loretta |Lately, I have been horrible with my eating. In fact, I will even go as far as saying I’ve been a nutrition badass, in the worst way possible.
As if the random and between homework snackage isn’t enough, dessert tonight involved another sugar rush.
These are little bundles of sponge cake, covered on all sizes by a light later of creamy frosting and toasted coconut. These are generic finds in any Chinese bakery in New York City. These in particular were adorned with more frosting on top and and fruit curds, like strawberry and lemon; the other one was a flavorless (well, I guess sweet is a flavor…) icing gel.
They’re nothing spectacular or extrodinary. A particular pet peeve I have about cakes from Chinese Bakery is that there are generally n choices of toppings to go on top of sponge cake and two kinds of sponge– chocolate or vanilla. Oh, and n < 5.
Sigh.
But, they’re good for a lighter dessert cake that has a sugary frosting.
