(02:19):

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Welcome to the Fork Report. Yeah, hi, thanks for having
me on the show.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh my pleasure. Tell us a little bit for those
of us that are just meeting you for the first time.
Who you are and the path that led you to
these cakes.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah sure. Well, my name is Manette.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm one of the co founders of Mosaic Cakes for
a family business based in Michigan. But you know, I
have great ties to California, having one to college there.
Mosaic cakes are crushed up butter cookies that are folded
into melted chopocolate or signature chocolate sauce before being frozen.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
My family is.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
A we have big sweet tubes, and so this is
a recipe that you know, my mom had and that
was passed.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
On for generations.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
And it is a very rich cake that has flavors
double chocolate, raspberry, pistachio, Dubai chocolate.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
There are many different variations of this cake.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It originated in southern Europe and Asia, and you can't
find it in the US though, And so essentially we've
taken these cakes now something that you can't really find
in the US. They're really unique, different shape, and after
giving it to people and having them try.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
They usually say, WHOA, what is this? And then where
can I have more?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So they come back and so we decided we have
something here we want to share with others in the community.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
They're stunning, absolutely stunning, And the good thing is they
can be ordered correct and shipped.

Speaker 2 (03:58):

If I can can talk through this, there there uh
a triangle shape that's elongated essentially, right, Yeah? Is that
a traditional Is that a traditional shape of these cakes?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So yeah, the cake is a triangular prism, which is
very strange for a cake because usually a cake star
are not in that form. That is tradition again for
this cake is originated in southern Europe and also parts
of Asia, and that is the form it's presented because
the triangle represents elegance, it represents fashion, right, the three dimensions,

(05:01):
So that is where the cake, you know, that has
been the tradition for the cake to be presented in that,
in that form, it just has its own unique flare
to it.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I mean as a gift, I can imagine these blowing
people away to see something like this. All right, when
we come back, well, we'll talk more about mosaic cakes
