a belated nod to miss vitucci

recently we had to make a celebration cake. its the type of cake i'd assume most americans would associate with any special event. every supermarket from portland to baltimore will churn out one of these buttercream bombs effortlessly, filling in the blanks with the names or edible photos of the celebrated recipient. when it came time to address the empty space on my cake i decided to dedicate it to my extraordinary friend miss kacie vitucci, who i have been unavailable to hangout with on two recent weekend outings due to my culinary endeavours. oh, and her birthday just happened.

so, kacie this cake is for you.



not all celebration cakes are equal and i must say mine was exceptionally delicious. kacie, can you picture it? a light spongy chiffon soaked with simple syrup keeping the interior nice and moist. this is accompanied by a delicate serving of real coffee flavored buttercream. don't think kroger cake icing, i'm talking no shortening to be found just gobs and gobs of butter, but whipped to taste deceivingly light. if your having a hard time picturing this here is a photo of me enjoying a slice. so grab yourself an imaginary piece and come eat cake with me. you can use a real fork and plate if that helps. anyone else reading this feel free to do the same. lets celebrate!
