How To Spot a Fake Louis Vuitton (Tip No. 47)

Bite it.

If you taste cake, it’s a fake.

From the LV Stephen Sprouse collection, cake made by Just Heavenly bakers, for fun, of course.  They ate it all up.  Not even a slice left for me.

I am always thrilled when Nigel of Just Heavenly announces that he wants to experiment with something new.  You see, the wonderful thing about being friends with bakers is that I get to be their guinea pig.  It’s an added bonus that the Just Heavenly duo are such warm, exuberant people who light up just about any room they walk into.

At a recent gathering to celebrate the 300th member of the Fatboybakes Fan Club (in honour of another amazing baker), Allan and Nigel brought two special cakes.  One was a pavlova, a favourite, which Allan had perfected.  Soft and marshmallowy on the inside, it was an experiment to demonstrate that the cake would not collapse despite keeping it overnight (without the cream and fruits, of course).  Sure enough, it stood tall.  And this was in spite of the fact that the waiters at the restaurant forgot to refrigerate the cake.

The other was a butter cake.  Not just any ordinary butter cake, but THE most delicious butter cake, aptly called Vanilla Dream.  Nigel was experimenting with a silk butter cream recipe made with creme anglaise, an Italian Meringue and whipped butter.  The cake was not too dense, not too fluffy, moist and absolutely perfect, and the cream….oh my God….it was so silky smooth and buttery.  I kid you not.  Unlike other experiences where only the initial time is the most memorable, this one continues to amaze the senses.  I call this the “happy cake”.

Easter Cookie

For Easter this year, Just Heavenly came up with their version of the easter cookie. A delicious egg-shaped buttery shortbread biscuit in psychedelic colours.  RM4.90 each.  Fall in love with it the way we did.

  2. Thanks so much babe 🙂 Much appreciated. It’s nice to sometimes challenge ourselves with stuff like the Ell Vee thing! ;-)Allan has this thing that he has too much time on his hands and the workaholic that he is, he will actually go make things like this to satisfy his curiosity that it can be done. 😉

  12. Just Heavenly indeed were the cakes! Gotta say I was lucky to be just in time to have a slice of heaven. I don’t think there’s even a verb big enough to glorify how marvelous the cakes were, esp the experimental Vanilla Dream.

    So getting it for an upcoming birthday!

  15. Awww yeah!! Happy cake sounds about right, I am imagining the flood of endorphins rushing through me just from sinking my teeth into it. The LV cake is hilariously crafty! I wouldn’t tote the LV monogram but I could certainly eat it!

  17. thenomadGourmand: The easter cookies are readily available there, but the cakes have to be preordered. Bon appetit!

    A Lil Fat Monkey: I know what you mean…we’re such a privileged lot, aren’t we? 🙂 I’m getting the Vanilla Dream for a birthday tomorrow…she’s one lucky birthday girl!

    KY: Hope you’ll get to try it one day!

    JOjo: Awwww….I wish I could send some to you, sweetie! Still in China? When you going back to Sg/MY?

    550ml jar of faith: I couldn’t have said it better! Yeah, like you, I wouldn’t tote it, but I’d definitely eat it. Or stare at the workmanship for days first. (We once kept the sugar craft from a cake for over a year coz we didn’t have the heart to mess with it)

    unkaleong: Slut. 😛 Mmuaks.

  24. a pav that doesn’t implode,
    a new vanilla dream creation,
    what is going to come next from that duo,
    perhaps a cake that always does the transmutation?

    PS: we still miss the Lemongrass creation, more reports on that one please.
