Cakewich

About this idea

Our dessert plays on the word “sandwich” which is typically meat and vegetable between two pieces of bread. Our dessert being a cakewich is an assortment of either fruits, nuts, ice-cream, sandwiched between two pieces of warm, moist cake. Our tagline has been “Just savory cakes, fruits and nuts, no meats or veggies”. We have been experimenting with various flavors at local farmer’s markets and fairs, and our most popular cakewiches are: Berry Summer, Nutella Crunch and Ice cream Butter. At the farmer’s market we sold this snack made-to-order for customers who stopped by our stall. However, we have developed packaging for this product to allow it to be sold prepacked at grocery stores, and vending machines. The Berry Summer is a layer of vanilla or lemon cake, with a layer of whipped cream, to which we add fresh cut strawberries, blackberries and blueberries; this is topped with another layer of whipped cream and a second piece of cake. The Nutella Crunch also starts with a layer of vanilla cake and whipped cream with a Nutella, coconut shavings and pecans drizzled on top the first layer of whipped cream; this is then finished with a second layer of whipped cream and a second piece of cake. For the Ice cream butter, this is two scoops of ice cream sandwiched between two pieces of cake.
