I have always loved The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, so much so that I spent my childhood crawling into closets trying to find that magical door to Narnia. I also imagined Turkish Delight to be the most luscious treat ever (good enough to sell out your family for, apparently.) When I eventually did try Turkish Delight, I was a little disappointed. I decided to re-imagine the White Witch's tempting dessert ideas by baking this special white cake instead!

Turkish Delight Winter Cake
A slice of jewels
Little jewel-like squares of elderflower-champagne and rose-rose jellies are suspended in the creamy vanilla mousse. The beautiful cake is iced in whipped cream, then topped with crunchy "hoar frost crisps." I even made the sugar icicle crown to top this edible artwork with!
Wobbly, but in a good way
I love creating special dessert recipes like this as my art persona The Wondersmith. It's such a pleasure to be able to share my food art creations with my community and my patrons! If you were offered this cool cake in the middle of enchanted winter woods, would you accept a slice?
