Description

To truly appreciate the architecture of this showstopping dessert, it helps to understand what makes it so incredibly unique compared to standard baked goods. This cake belongs to a category of desserts known as mille-crepe cakes, a name derived from the French phrase meaning a thousand crepes. While it does not contain quite that many, it relies on stacking dozens of paper-thin pancakes on top of one another, separated by micro-layers of airy frosting.
