Cake #80 - Father's Day Cake


Sunday Traditional Cake - Father's Day Cake.

The Finnish Father's Day is celebrated the second Sunday of November.

Mystery Box ingredient used: Wienet Nougat Almond Crocant Crush.


A Father's Day cake is not that much about the recipe but about teamwork in the family. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it does not.

I got the easiest part which was to bake the sponge so I was ready and out of the kitchen in no time. Then the Decorating Team took over. - My only requirement was that they should use the almond crocant crush as that was my last Mystery Box ingredient not used yet.

The cake itself turned out excellent with whipped cream and banana slices in the filling, and whipped cream, almond crocant crush and piped milk chocolate on top.

The teamwork turned out not-so-excellent. Every Decorating Team does need a leader but the leader should be able to delegate and not do all the work by herself. Every Decorating Team does need a leader but the leader should not kick the other team member out of the kitchen because of a slight disagreement.

Every Decorating Team leader who does not remember the above from now on shall never be a Decorating Team leader again.

But. Like I wrote earlier, the cake itself turned out excellent and we ate it all. All's well that ends well, right? Yeah, right. TBC - To Be Continued.
