Pink Flamingo Cake

The pretty chocolate feathers came about accidentally while I was tempering some Callebaut white chocolate—I was trying to make thin sheets of chocolate, but my sleeve kept smudging it. I was going to scrap it all in a fit of rage but saw that it had a feathery look. So I came up with my signature technique and started making the feathers intentionally using a piping bag and a modelling tool for the feather effect, and rolled up my sleeves higher.

You can literally feel the fluttery joy through this cake. The pretty pink watercolor effect, the delicate handmade chocolate feathers, and raspberry and vanilla macarons make you feel the happiness we felt while making the cake.

We've made more than a thousand of our Pink Flamingo cakes, and I still get wowed by how pretty this cake is every time I make another. There's just something so irresistibly charming about the delicate chocolate feathers and macarons. And I can bet you there's not one other cake maker out there making the lovely feathers as we do.

Perfect for fancy birthdays, summer celebrations, or anyone who loves a pop of pink and fun on their cake. It’s ideal for those who appreciate things looking as good as they taste.

If you’re looking for a cake that’s super cute but also elegant simultaneously, with a hint of tropical vibes, the Pink Flamingo Cake will bring all of that and more to your celebration.
