Bought the infamous Black Forest cake for husband's birthday. We were nicely surprised by the taste. The presentation is nothing fantastic and pretty boring and simplistic. In fact, you have to serve it well chilled for the best flavour. Leaving it out at room temperature will only cause the cream to melt into a soft mess very quickly. But otherwise, the flavour and taste was superb!It's apparently made with only pure butter - no other oils, margarines, lard or whatever. So there was no horrid o
It's apparently made with only pure butter - no other oils, margarines, lard or whatever. So there was no horrid or sickening aftertaste in your mouth. In fact, you just want to eat the whole cake in one sitting - it's that good! It's made using Amarene and not Morello cherries. We loved the kirsch-soaked cherries. The Kirsch used was defnitely of very high quality. None of those cheap yucky stuff. Not rum or brandy or vodka either.
It might look like there's lots of cream on it but seriously, you need the cream to balance out the intense flavour of the cherries and kirsch. The chocolate shavings and chocolate mousse/cream were obviously made of extremely high quality chocolate. Not a hint of cheap compounds or bad quality stuff.
Ordering the cake was super easy and you don't even have to talk to anyone. Just click away online! And trust that it's the best quality stuff you can get! The box reminds me of Tiffany's jewellery box. You know there's going to be something wonderful inside!
Definitely a cake for adults - might be too alcoholic for children. And defnitely only suitable for Black Forest cake connoisseurs - no neighbourhood wannabes here. We can't get enough of this cake! Would like thicker cake layers and more chocolate mousse though!
