We were only half finished frosting this cake but loved the look so much, we kept it that way. Try this easy decorating style on any cake.

Behind closed doors

Our fridges (we have three!) are integral to our testing process. Here, kimchee and pickled rhubarb are being monitored for expiry, while a cake waits to be iced.
