1. Sassy Stacks- Sassy Spoon

This dish consists of three red velvet sponge cakes with cheese frosting served with raspberry caviar, coffee foam, brandy snap and beetroot tully. This is an authentic red velvet cake which looks tempting right from the moment it is brought to the table. The cheese doesn’t overpower the flavor of the cake, but actually complements it very well. The coffee foam is a good side dish along with the cake and can be used to reduce its sweetness and give a slight coffee flavor to it as well. The restaurant makes you happy at the end by giving a complementary brownie.
