Look for the "Tipsy Tavern" Pound Cake featured on the Cock 'n Bull menu
Three dozen contestants competed on January 21 at the Cock ‘n Bull Restaurant for the chance to have their original cake featured on the menu in honor of the 50th Anniversary. The judges for the contest included Kerry Burns of Town Crier Bakery, Cock ‘n Bull Executive Chef Kevin Nagle and award-winning pastry chef and teacher Debi Lang. The second place went to Donna Zalewski of New Hope, PA for her Apple Almond Cake. Christine Mitchell-Kenney of Upper Black Eddy, PA placed third for her White Buttermilk Cake.
Diane said that her cake was inspired by a vintage whiskey and molasses pound cake served in pubs since the early 1900s. Her recipe substitutes amaretto and brown sugar for those original ingredients.
“This change has given the cake a wonderful light almond flavor & perfect density that’s been a hit with our family and friends at many birthday and holiday parties,” said Diane.
The Town Crier Bakery will produce the personal-sized “Tipsy Tavern” Pound Cake for the Cock ‘n Bull’s dessert menu from February 14 through December 2012.
