Recently i got to know of Grin Affair through Facebook. The idea of serving the cake in a jar intrigue me and i decided to head down to Everton Park. I took away a Marron flavour cake as i love chestnut. Starting from the bottom of the jar up, the Marron cake consist of a baked crust, sponge cake slice, chestnut mousse, and coffee cake slice, finished off with a small whole chestnut. Do not be afraid to 'mess up' the cake as you have to really scoop right through from top to bottom to taste the
Starting from the bottom of the jar up, the Marron cake consist of a baked crust, sponge cake slice, chestnut mousse, and coffee cake slice, finished off with a small whole chestnut. Do not be afraid to 'mess up' the cake as you have to really scoop right through from top to bottom to taste the whole combination, which blends really well in your mouth despite the many layers. Nevertheless, I tried eating by layers. While the cake slices was soft and moist and the baked crust was fragrant, the chestnut mousse was a bit too much to take on its on as it's ratio to the cake/crust was about 3:1. I would recommend one to take everything together.
One thing i don't really like about it is that the marron on top is really small and dry.
Very interesting concept. Will try again soon.
