Last week I had a customer request a cake for her boyfriend’s birthday. Some of his favorite flavors include coconut, coffee, peanut butter, and pistachios. I don’t think I’ve ever incorporated these flavors in a cake before, let alone a combination of them! It was a fun challenge and in the end we were able to use three of the 4. This six inch cake had 4 layers of vanilla cake brushed with coconut milk, filled with 3 layers of peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream, then covered with mocha Swiss meringue buttercream (made with blue bottle coffee) and finished off with a light layer of toasted coconut. Phew!

that sounds delicious! i had blue bottle coffee for the first time when i was in new york recently, & i was not disappointed. at all! so good.
Blue bottle is our favorite coffee. We hoard about 4 bags every time with visit San Francisco. Did you try their New Orleans iced coffee?! It’s pretty addictive.
That’s exactly what I had! It was so hot that day & it was the perfect drink.
peanut butter and coconut?! i feel like i would love that combination in cake form too! even though, i may not have a special occasion to celebrate at the moment, i really want to try your creations. maybe next time i’m in LA…
that is such a clever combination of flavours! and it looks stunning! they must have been so pleased with the finished result!
I love your cake combinations! Wish you lived in Melbourne or I live in LA
Thank you for your comment, Julia. I wish I lived in Melbourne as well! Maybe one day
My mom actually grew up just outside of Melbourne but our family lives in Sydney now.
