Look at this super cute mushroom cake from Gelato Messina! This is a limited edition Dr Evil's Magic Mushroom Cake created by Gelato Messina in collaboration with eBay to celebrate the latter's 21st birthday. Only about 450 were sold Australia wide. The mushroom cake is Gelato Messina's most popular cake and retails for around $80 (17 people portion) so I was very happy to be able to taste this limited edition, popular and beautiful cake.
The mushroom is made of vanilla gelato, chocolate coated honeycomb, raspberry jam, hundreds and thousands cased in red chocolate glaze and white chocolate dots in blue, green and yellow the eBay colours. The green dots tasted like matcha while the blue, red and yellow dots are white chocolate.
The chocolate stem is made of vanilla gelato and dulce de leche paste. Lastly, the grass is popping candy feuiletine. I had to google up feuiletine - it's a crispy French crepe pastry.
My favourite bit is the feuiletine grass because it gave me such a nice surprise when the popping candy started to jump and dance in my mouth. I also really love the dulce de leche paste in the mushroom stem because it is so decadent.
This gelato cake feeds 8 people. Initially, I didn't think it was possible but after tasting the cake, it is probably the right estimate because I already felt quite full after one small piece. It was very creamy and filling.
This is probably the nicest looking cake I've had the pleasure to eat for some time!
