Cake In A Box

For all you Justing Timberlake, SNL, and chocolate cake lovers out there, this one is for you. I was initially inspired to create this dessert from @DinaraKasko’s instagram and absolutely love her style of cake/pastry creation and recipe development. She has a very keen sense of flavor and aesthetic which is hard to come by, so go give her some love and tell her that I sent you on over if you do end up checking her out. Anyways, hopefully this “Cake In A Box” inspires you to think a little bit differently about dessert garnishing and plating aesthetics the next time you try to tackle some new fancy creation! Now lets go makes some CAAAKES!!!!!
What is Isomalt Sugar? Isomalt is the popular name for Isomaltitol which is a sugar substitute made from beet sugar. Over the past twenty years chefs, sugar artists, and confectioners have found that Isomalt has many advantages over sugar especially when making showpieces, cake decorations, dessert garnishes and candy.
It has an excellent taste and has an appearance and texture very similar to sugar. It is heat stable and ph stable and is suitable for cooking and for processed foods. It does not absorb water and so it does not become 'sticky'. This makes it excellent as a coating for hard sweets and candies.
