Yet another tasty affair with the latest collection at Mad About Sucre for Fall/Winter '17. The Merry Go Round is a cake with mango, rum and chestnut elements; a cake that would hit well with those who like Mont Blanc-esque flavour profiles. One may have noticed the irregularities on the surface of the cake — it was told that the imperfections was deliberately done so to showcase how each cake is painstakingly crafted by hand. What intrigued me about this one was how the whole cake was so balanced in flavour — the mango provides just enough tartness for the tastebuds to detect without being overwhelmingly so, while the chestnut takes over at the right point to induce the nuttiness and earthiness that cuts through the tartness. It's that strange yet harmonic combination of richness and refreshing flavour that lifts the flavour profile of the entire cake as a whole — quite unique I would say.
