I bought this cake at a discounted price (think it is 50% off) from Groupon, so I spent around $32.10 for this cake worth $64.20. Personally I don't think I would splurge that much money on this cake, even if it's divine. Well it kinda looks pretty on the whole.. However, I still feel that it's weird to have durian puffs adorning the top of a cake.
I'm speculating that the cake designers probably thought that the durian puffs could serve as a guide to equally cut the cake up (so you end up with 8 fat slices) and also they didn't have to purchase extra cake ornaments. But what if I only want 1/2 of each slice? Or worse still, that I have 9 people sharing the cake?? "Oh here you go, a slice of 1/9 of the cake and 8/9 of a durian puff for you".
Judging from the amount of whipped cream I scrapped off my slice, the cake bakers certainly are generous with the whipped cream. Wished they would do the same for the durian layers. There are two layers of durian puree sandwiched among 3 soft layers of sponge cake, and I seriously couldn't tell if those were D24 or if whipped cream were added in. Bah.
