This is one of our special order cakes. We helped in the production of the cake from the maocha selection, to the cooking process, and even helped with the wrapper design. It took us a number of years to pull all of this together, and even though the production date is 2008, some of the maocha is older. The mao cha blending's goal was to produce a cake that is reminiscent of Chinese dates. We think that this is a great example of a well planned and executed cake and we hope you enjoy it.
