Attention to "Brush stroke cake"♡
Have you ever seen a wedding cake that looks like this?♡
The design features many thin spikes, like a thorn, sticking out from the sides of the cake.
You don't see this much at Japanese weddings,
but overseas, it’s called a "Brush stroke cake," and it's a standard design for wedding cakes, as well as those served at birthday parties! ♩
By the way, it originated in Moscow, Russia.
It was created by a chef at a bakery called Karabasa Bakery, and it gradually spread to Europe and America.
The name brushstroke literally means the stroke of a brush, a term from calligraphy.
It’s said to have received this name because it resembles the marks left by a paintbrush when applying paint.
What are the plates made of?
What you might be curious about is the identity of the thorn-like plates sticking out of the cake...
