Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Dacquoise au Café
This was pretty darn good! It was five layers of nut meringue disks sandwiched together with coffee buttercream. Yum! Personally it wasn't my favorite thing, but I still liked it and pops, who always says he doesn't like sweets, loved this. The nut meringue disks were nice, but not quite as crisp as I would have liked. The buttercream was an excellent texture (stiff but still smooth and creamy) and the coffee flavor was delicious, but the buttercream base itself was a little too sweet. It wasn't frosted on the sides, which made it very pretty and different looking than most cakes. I suppose that this is fitting, since it's different sort of cake.
