I really like the idea behind cakes. Kind of like making a cocktail. Mixing the tastes. That is nice.

First I wanted to make some kind of lemon-curd strawberry cake. With coconut frosting. But then I thought that was boring. So I decided to make a foresty cake. My Cake-moodboard had images with fairies from the Woods, Bears eating berries, the caramel sauce we had with lingonberries when I was a kid and the taste of a leaf that always hide in the jam you make yourself.

I had home made lingonberry jam and some wild raspberry in the freezer. So I made a layered cake. I really like the idea of fluffy mouse covered cakes so I made a caramel fluff that I found on a Finnish cake blog. All very nordic. A wild cake.

Fudge in finish is called Kinuski. So my cake must be a Kinuski-Kaka. Enjoy.

But making cakes is only nice in theory.

It took me 4 hours to make the cake today. The kitchen was a mess. Afterward I was exhausted and wanted to go to bed right away.

PS. It is not done yet. The glaced berries are coming up tomorrow.
