Why Taro and Coconut?
Short answer: The people wanted it
Long answer: The people really wanted it
The taro mousse cake moved up a couple of slots in my future cake releases but I never expected it so soon! It’s great that I can have conversations with clients and get an insight into what they really like in a mousse cake.
Collecting feedback from clients is important to me as it not only shapes my business but it affords better quality products. Plus, it’s a win/win situation for both myself and the people that taste my cakes!
Challenges
I have never baked nor cooked with anything taro in it, while a taro and coconut cake seemed like a straightforward flavour, it came with a few challenges.
Challenge: Finding the right taro ingredients for the taro mousse cake
I had to research and test different taro ingredients that will not only complement baking but also taste amazing as well. With a few trials and errors with taro powders, syrups and concentrates, I found the right ingredients that work well not only in a mousse but the cake as well!

Challenge: Expectations
As I continue to build Onyx Hive, new challenges arise such as expectations from myself and my clients. This involves creating better and more exciting social media content, ads and trusting my process that I am creating quality food including a delectable taro and coconut mousse cake.
For example, an advertisement I made specifically for Iris was the first for me to ever create for Onyx Hive.
