The other day my friend and I popped into Rosebud Cakes on Robertson where they artistically craft some of the most incredible cake creations. I mean, just check out some of these photos! Yes- These are cakes!
And of course, they can do your traditional wedding cakes too..~
Most impressively, these cakes are crafted with buttercream, which is trickier, yet more delicious, than using fondant. However, I can’t say that all the cake flavors that I sampled wowed me. The white cream with fresh strawberries was my favorite, which surprised me since that’s not usually my first choice. The options with chocolate chips in the layers were delightful and the carrot cake also stood out as a winner. But otherwise, I found the middle layers in all the samples to be too thick and firm to really melt me. Furthermore, the buttercream frosting had a bit of that whipped up, mild, but slightly unpleasant store-bought taste to it. (Sigh), sometimes you can’t win them all.
Rosebud Cakes will surely enchant your friends for any occasion, but for simply indulging in cake, I’d make other recommendations.~ (click on “Cakes” in my categories to see!).
That sandwich is a cake!!!!??? You have got to be kidding me!!! DId you try that one?
I have never liked Chanel purses… but that one looks delicious!! hahaha
I’m not sure how others feel but the play with cake/dessert looking like another form of food like the snadwich but, I think it would confuse some human senses – visual, taste, touch, smell…will battle too much as I take a bite and a “battling” notion while nurturing with food is not so healthy (my penny thought :-)). However, I can completely and absolutely appreciate the artistic quality and talent about it. wow. 🙂 very interesting find.
Wow! I just found your site on facebook and decided to look up my old place of employment-I made that sandwich cake about 20 years ago! I am glad it holds up to todays standards, at the time there were very few places in the country where you had the chance to do work like that. I worked at Rosebud from about 1988 to 1993, it was such a great place to learn and be challenged.
