I made my dad's retirement party cakes with native American persimmon (diospyros virginiana) I foraged last fall. The cake is an adapted recipe for baked persimmon pudding.
Made these two cakes for my dad's retirement party this weekend. The cake is actually baked persimmon pudding, using native American persimmon I foraged last fall.
All are made with yellow or chocolate cake and decorated with vanilla American buttercream,
I don't really care about value as much as accurate vintage. I'm trying to piece together a timeline in her life. Thanks!
A corporate person who does not understand realities in the store has decided the bakery will no longer take custom cake orders. Everyone will have to order online, from a very limited selection. This store is a leader for the company in this region for custom orders, which use quality ingredients and whose cake prices haven't gone up since before covid.
This decision negatively impacts team members, removing their ability to plan ahead and adding unnecessary stress on weekends that are already stressful. It impacts the community, removing quality decorating (this store does an amazing job) at reasonable prices.
I know not everyone is a fan of wholefoods, but if you shop there and are upset that you can no longer order the cake you want, please consider complaining directly to store leadership, loudly and often. Maybe that could lead to a change in this decision.
