I have been a huge fan of this cake since the first time I tasted it. My sister’s wedding was not only beautiful but also very informative. I had a good talk with the pastry chef that made their cake. She was so nice and not at all intimidating when I asked her to teach me the recipe for this incredible cake. She gave me all the necessary ingredients and steps. She even gave me her secret ingredient. I made this 2 days ago and I could not just keep this to myself because I know people should have a taste of this heavenly tasting cake. Well, of course, I asked for the chef’s permission. She willingly said, Yes! To Eve, if you’re reading this, Thank you!
