Gourmet cakes are moist, sweet desserts that are stylishly decorated and come in an assortment of flavors and components.
It is easy to make a variety of gourmet cakes right in your own kitchen. Of course chocolate flavored gourmet cakes are very popular. The dark chocolate makes them rich and creamy. The range of chocolate delights includes Mousse Meringue, Dessert Torte, Black Velvet, Chocolate Almond Cake, Truffle Cake, Rocky Mountain Mudslide and Satin Cake.
Other kinds of gourmet cakes include the Sansrival, Tiramisu, Ube Macapuno Cake, Chocolate Mallows and Banofie pie. Then there are gourmet cakes laced with sherry, rum or amaretto. Drizzled with alcohol, they come in such flavors as raspberry and zesty lime. Rum cake or brandy cake are a wonderful blend of sweetness and crème sherry, subtle yet flavorful.
Gourmet cheesecakes really take the cake. Made of cottage cheese, cream cheese, or ricotta they come in many flavors and toppings from key lime and mango to strawberry and kahlua. Or you may try the pumpkin cheesecake. Cheesecakes can be decorated with sliced berries, raspberry puree, crushed walnut or even crumbled amoretti.
