Alright, let’s talk about this fancy cake, this… uh… matcha crepe cake from Lady M. I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it before, but my grandkid showed me a picture, and, well, it looked pretty, so I figured I’d try and tell ya’ll about it.
First off, they call it a “Mille Crepe” cake. Sounds all highfalutin, don’t it? But from what I gather, it’s just a whole mess of thin pancakes, like crepes, stacked on top of each other with some kinda cream in between. They say it’s got twenty layers! Twenty! Can you believe that? That’s a lot of flippin’ pancakes, I tell ya.
Now, this ain’t your regular ol’ pancake, mind you. They’re talkin’ about matcha pancakes. Matcha… sounds like some kinda medicine, but it’s green tea, I guess. Makes the pancakes all green and fancy-lookin’. And the cream, they say it’s matcha cream too. So, it’s green on green, like a field of grass, I reckon. But then, they go and throw in some chocolate somethin’-somethin’ cream too. Chocolate and green tea? Sounds like a weird mix, if you ask me, but folks seem to like it.
- The Look: It’s a pretty cake, gotta admit. All them layers stacked up high, and the green color is kinda nice, like spring leaves. They say the top is “gently caramelized until golden.” Sounds fancy, but I guess it means it’s a little brown on top, like when you bake somethin’ in the oven too long, but on purpose, I guess.
- The Taste: Well, I ain’t tasted it myself, but from what I hear, it’s sweet, but not too sweet. And that green tea flavor, it’s supposed to be a little bit bitter, but in a good way. Like, it balances out the sweetness, they say. And the chocolate, that adds another layer of flavor, makes it richer, I guess.
- The Price: Hold onto your hats, folks, ‘cause this cake ain’t cheap. I heard someone say it’s like eight dollars a slice! Eight dollars! For a piece of cake! Back in my day, you could get a whole pie for that much. But I guess that’s what you pay for fancy, huh?
They also got other kinds of this crepe cake, not just the matcha one. There’s a strawberry one, with pink pancakes and strawberry cream. That sounds a little more my speed, to be honest. Strawberries are sweet and good, none of that fancy green tea stuff. But folks seem to go crazy for this matcha thing, so there must be somethin’ to it.
Now, some folks say you can make this cake yourself. From scratch! Can you imagine? Flippin’ twenty little pancakes, then stackin’ ‘em all up nice and neat, with cream in between? Sounds like a whole lotta work to me. I’d rather just buy a slice, even if it costs a pretty penny. But if you’re one of them ambitious types, you can probably find a recipe online somewhere. Just search for “Lady M matcha crepe cake recipe” or somethin’ like that. Good luck to ya, you’ll need it.
Overall, this matcha crepe cake seems like a fancy dessert for folks with fancy taste buds and deep pockets. It’s pretty to look at, and I guess it tastes good too, though I can’t say for sure. If you got some extra cash and you wanna try somethin’ different, go ahead and give it a whirl. But if you’re like me, and you’re happy with a good ol’ apple pie, well, there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that either. At the end of the day, it’s just cake, folks. Just cake.
They say you shouldn’t freeze it again once you defrost it. I guess that makes sense, things ain’t the same after you freeze ’em twice. Like that time I tried to re-freeze them green beans…tasted like mush. So, if you buy one of these fancy cakes, eat it up before it goes bad, that’s what I say.
