Japanese Cheesecake with Sauteed Cherries

Making the most of the B.C. cherries right now, I sauteed them with some butter, sugar, and a splash of cassis. Served over a slice of soft Japanese cheesecake.

Steamship Cake




Every year, Theatre Under the Stars puts on amazing shows. This year was "Anything Goes" and takes place on a ship. This was a huge cake I might add, and probably weighed close to 40lbs! The base "waves" were made from royal icing and the cake was a hazelnut cake with chocolate mint frosting. I really wanted to add the rails so I made them out of isomalt. The steam columns were rice krispies squares ( I had fun eating the trim).
