Cake Catastrophe!!!!!

Yes...did you like my play of words here for the title?





Well anyway. I received some very sad and bad news today.....Kelley's Bakery in both Monterey Park and Chino Hills has discontinued their Aloe Vera Mousse Cake.





This is a very sad day for me because I LOVE that cake. It was everything I would ever want out of a cake..... light and airy sponge cake with fluffy as a cloud aloe vera mousse, with its subtle sweetness that is reminiscent of a warm day with a nice cool breeze. With its utterly delicious whipped cream frosting and jelly(note: I HATE JELLO but not in this case...yes it was that good) topping it was HEAVEN.





So my brother's friend had ordered this cake for his birthday a few years back and it was SO GOOD. When it came time for Daniel's mother's birthday I had also ordered one for her last year. While researching wedding cake options I suggested the aloe vera cake, however after a quick census of a sample group from our guest list we concluded that aloe vera cake does not appeal to everyone. So since I couldn't have aloe vera cake for our wedding i decided I am going to order one and eat it for myself hehehe. So I call up Kelley's bakery in Monterey Park and they told me....that they don't make it anymore....DUN DUN DUN!!!! UTTER SHOCK AND SADNESS.





So being resourceful me I called the Chino Hills location and they told me that they would be able to make it but it would take a few days. I didn't care, I just wanted my cake. So I called back today to place my order and DUN DUN DUN they said that they won't be able to make it anymore due to the lack of people ordering this cake. From my understanding, the baker is unwilling to put in the effort to make just 1 aloe vera cake (I guess it's complicated to make) so unless he had more orders he wouldn't do it. The only way they would do it is if I ordered say 3 cakes...or a really large sheet cake, or have my wedding cake with aloe vera mousse filling.





This is a very sad day for me. So unless someone out there wants to share 3 aloe vera cakes with me it looks like I won't be able to taste its sweet sweet goodness anymore.





RIP aloe vera cake :*(
