As I walked back home one day, a cardboard poster really caught my eye - it was promoting the newly limited Strawberry and Mixed Berry Napoleon. Because dinner was already prepared that day, I could only get it on another day. I had a premonition that this would be a hot seller so I phoned the bakery and asked if I could reserve a cake for pick up an hour later, the staff gladly accepted my request and this got me to the realisation that it was the last Napoleon for the day! How lucky was I! The
The cake albeit unlike any typical cream / sponge cake out there, still managed to make me very excited to take a bite off it cause of the three succinct and special layers that were advertised. The top layer had strawberries and mixed berries aesthetically laid out with icing on the side. The each subsequent layers were in total 64 crunchy layers, this showed the amount of effort that’s required in building this cake. Wedged between the layers was homemade custard which was soft and sticky. I’m gonna nitpick a little here, if the custard was filled closer to the frame of the layers it would have been better as you couldn’t really taste the layers with the cream unless you dug deeper into the centre.
We didn’t buy this cake for any kind of celebration, it was a spontaneous thought and it turned out to be amazing. The Napoleon was carefully packaged just so it didn’t fall while being taken back home and there was some weight to it so it felt nice while holding this “sculpture” haha! It was also very picturesque so do take photos of / with it~
