Known as the home of the Pink Champagne Cake and Cupcake, Phoenix's Victorian Cake Company has been providing the perfect desserts for celebrations for over 20 years. "The perfect challenge would be a Pink Champagne cake throwdown with Food Network's Bobby Flay," said Sherri Cahn, owner.
PHOENIX, Dec. 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pink Champagne – it's not just for toasting in the New Year or celebrating any special occasion any more. When you blend pink champagne into the batter of a delicious cake recipe – and add some classic buttercream frosting – you have Victorian Cake Company's signature Pink Champagne Cake. The taste of whipped, buttery frosting makes it entirely worth it – by the way, it is also available in the convenient, single serving cupcake.
Inspired by memories of the now closed Guggy's Restaurant chain in Phoenix, baker Sheri Cahn shares the legend of her Pink Champagne Cake.
"When I was a young girl growing up here in Phoenix, Arizona, I remember on Saturdays my Dad and I would sneak out, while the others had to take naps, and head for the old Christown Mall (now the Christown Spectrum) shopping center at 19th Avenue and Bethany Home Road," shared Cahn. "After lunch, we would head to the Guggy's Restaurant for our dessert. Of course, dessert was always a delicious slice of that wonderful Pink Champagne cake. From then on, that became my special birthday cake flavor, and my mother would order one for me every year."
Long time Phoenix residents describe the Victorian Cake Company's Pink Champagne Cake with equally fond memories.
"The Victorian Cake Company Pink Champagne cake takes me back in time," said cake lover Doug Collins of Peoria, Arizona. "We had Pink Champagne cakes for birthdays, anniversary dinners and more - until Guggy's closed their doors. Finding the Victorian Cake Company's splendid rendition with their own brand of frostings, flavors and fillings continues our tradition of Pink Champagne celebrations."
Re-creating such a popular recipe was not easy. It took years of culinary research.
"When I opened my own cake shop, one of my priorities was to try to reproduce (as closely as possible) the Guggy's Pink Champagne cake. It took almost 2 years of trying, testing, and tasting before we came up with the perfect recipe," adds Cahn. "But it was our goal to carry on the tradition and be known as the 'Home of the Pink Champagne Cake'. And the cake and cupcakes are safe for moms-to-be and children since any alcohol from the champagne is baked away. "
So what is next for Sheri Cahn and the Victorian Cake Company?
"We would like to challenge Bobby Flay to a Pink Champagne Cake Throwdown," Cahn said, laughing as she said it. "We are a custom cakery – and we keep coming up with new designs and themes for our clients. We even have a Tebow Cupcake now for local Denver Broncos' fans, a Phoenix Suns cupcake and lots of gourmet specialties that appeal to your sweet tooth."
"We have custom toppers that we have made-to-order, so any special occasion can be celebrated with our cupcakes. There is a cupcake tree as well that makes any party really festive."
So, while a waist may be a terrible thing to mind, you will definitely not mind partaking of some of Victorian Cake Company's delights – the sweet taste of success.
