Upscale Canned Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The BOA Steakhouse 'Cake in a Can' is Designed for Gourmet Takeaway

— September 7, 2016 — Lifestyle
BOA Steakhouse is a sophisticated eatery located in Hollywood, California that now serves a gourmet takeaway torte called the 'Cake in a Can.' The dish, created by Joseph Kim, offers an upscale presentation of a cake that can be taken to go by hungry patrons. The dish is pre-made in house and assembled with an element of whimsicality.

The dish is carrot flavored and served in a rectangular metal canister with layers of cream cheese frosting throughout. The dessert is then topped with a final spread of icing and an arrangement of crushed walnuts with micro greens designed to look like plants growing from the earth. The cake is designed to be eaten straight from the tin, as an on-the-go gourmet dessert.
