WOW!
Nashauna Drummond, Lifestyle Coordinator
As we approach our country’s 50th anniversary, it seems Jamaican colours are popping up everywhere more than ever. Now you can have it in a cake.
A few months ago, wedding cake designer Shaun Grant, known for her amazing sugar creations, got an unusual request. “I was challenged to make a Jamaican cake,” she told Food. “The email I received said I seemed like the type of artist who could do something like that. I told her I would have to think about it.”
And think she did. After only four failures, the owner of Sage Delights came up with a cake representing the Jamaican flag in every slice.
The cake that fully embodies Jamaica’s 50th year of Independence was unveiled recently at a luncheon hosted by the Women Business Owners Network.
But as Grant explains, the cake is pretty complicated and requires a lot of carving. “It’s actually three cakes in one – dark chocolate, cheese cake and green velvet cake – and it actually takes two hours to assemble free-hand.” The end result is a very moist cake that she guarantees tastes as good as it looks.
She uses all fresh ingredients, noting, “It must not only look good, but it must also taste good.”
I have seen cakes before but never one like this, every slice is a Jamaican Flag
