Can’t believe that 11 episodes of Cake Run has been written. Getting to know that there are people out there who share the same passion as you is truly a blessing and a delight. As you spend time browsing on each pictures and liking them, know that you are already making a difference by making us, authors feel appreciated. Without further ado, let’s put on our running shoes and visit what the Lucca Bakery has to offer.
Cake Number 1: Peanut Butter Pie
How many bakeries actually serve peanut butter pie? The name alone is already an eye-catcher so I definitely bought one.
Visual: The wavy peanut butter spread on top reminds me of a shore wherein you can still step foot on the sand beneath the waters. The nuts resemble your corals that serve as a last hint before you get submerged into deep seawater.
Taste: A peanut butter pie indeed! Yes, the pie has peanut butter flavor but you can still taste actual peanut butter spread. As I investigate the layers, I found out that this pastry makes use of two kinds of peanut butter. If you were to base it on looks alone, you can easily assume that the spread on top is peanut butter but no, it is actually chocolate spread. The peanut butter flavor is actually a tiny thin layer sandwiched in between the chocolate spread and the pie itself. You actually have to taste it before concluding that there is peanut butter flavor there
But how were they able to make the taste of peanut butter dominate given its barely noticeable presence?
In the pie itself, there are brown bits encrusted which is what you call peanut butter spread. Yes, it is similar to the one we are using on our bread loaves.
It is then concluded with an Oreo based crust and this cookie says it all. No one could go wrong with Oreo! Also, since the taste of peanut butter and Oreo is quite distinct, I recommend eating it separately for they do not really complement each other; rather they are at war as to which one of them will dominate on your palate.
Cake Number 2: Red Velvet
I don’t know but I have a certain fixation with red velvet pastries just last month. It was triggered when one of my colleagues brought one at the office and since her desk is just right in front of me, I have to pass by it every time I have to go out. Plus, it is RED! I mean if I were not seduced by it before, it definitely has for the last couple of weeks. Talk about visual reminder.
Visual: What a tall tall one you have! When I chose to buy the slice, I did not expect to be gifted with a five layer bread paired with five layers of cream cheese in between. There is a pulverized red crust to give the cake its red appearance when viewed upfront. Other than being tall, it looks like your typical red velvet cake.
Taste: It has more bread than cream. You can barely taste the cream cheese despite it being sandwiched across the five layers. It looks typical and tastes typical but at least it is not too sweet. I kind of dreaded not finishing the slice when it was served but thankfully, it is the not so sweet type of red velvet so it just felt like eating chiffon cake.
Enjoy a Lucrative Friday at Lucca Bakery. Thoughts? Feel free to post a comment below.
