PushCakes by Meringue Bake Shop, Orange County CA
This is a guest post from CakeSpy.
Meringue Bake Shop When push pop meets cupcake, you get something awesome to shove in your gullet: PushCakes!
And I was the very lucky recipient of a sample package of these sweeties, made with love by Meringue Bakeshop in So-cal, which arrived on SpyStep (that's my doorstep) this morning.
Aside from some minor frosting sticking to the top, the cakes arrived in fine form (and really, if you must know, I just licked it off the lid, and I am pretty certain you'd do the same if nobody was looking). Also, a small circle of parchment paper would probably do the trick in keeping it from sticking.
While the push pop mechanism doesn't change the taste of cake at all, it does make it fun to eat, and if you ate it in front of someone else, it would probably make them jealous.
Kristin Ausk, the baker behind Meringue Bake Shop, makes a mean PushCake. The cake layers are kept moist between generous, almost mini trifle-esque layers of buttercream. My favorite flavor so far? Strawberry cheesecake, which tastes a little bit like both flavors, all at once, in a good way.Here are the flavors that Mr. Spy and I devoured:
- Queen of Hearts (aka red velvet)
- German Chocolate
- Strawberry Cheesecake
- Sweet & Salty (salted caramel)
...and yes, they were freaking delicious.
Want more? You'd do yourself a favor if you bought some PushCakes--do it here. And follow the baker online here.
