My son turned four this last week, and when asked what kind of cake he would like, he responded immediately and definitely, “A taco cake!”  I have no idea what he thought he meant by this, but this is my interpretation.  The “tortilla” is sponge cake; the “beans”, chocolate mousse; the “cheese” and “lettuce” (or if you prefer guacamole) are cream cheese frosting colored appropriately; and the “tomatoes” are dried strawberries.  The taste was just as I like it, rich and not overly sweet.  My son seemed to like it as well, though its look was just a bit too off-putting for my daughter.  Oh well.  You can’t make everyone happy all of the time, and it was his birthday.  Over all I was quite proud of my ingenuity.  🙂
