My style is realism. I love to impart “trompe l’oeil” (French for “to trick the eye”) on my cakes and make everyday objects taste delicious. With apple season upon us and Thanksgiving coming up, I thought it would be fun to make a cake that looks like one of my favorite desserts: apple pie.
To make this, I used my apple-cinnamon cake recipe and brown-sugar buttercream!
