Cassata Cake

My cassata cake is like an Italian trifle without the bowl. Lady fingers brushed with rum syrup, layered with sweet cannoli cream that’s studded with chocolate, and then topped with chocolate shavings and pistachios. Getting the whole thing together is a three day process, but each step is very simple and well worth the wait. On the first day, make the cream. On the second day, assemble the cake. On the third day, eat 🙂

Peach Melba Cake

A sweet yet refreshing dessert: white cake filled with fresh raspberries, covered in silky, just-sweet-enough buttercream, and topped with loads of raspberry sauce and poached peaches. The only thing that could make it better is vanilla ice cream.
