The Gold Thorn cake by Daan Go is a dessert option for those with an acquired taste. The adventurous flavor is beautifully decorated and features an outer shell made from mousse. It resembles the look of a durian's spikey exterior using delicate durian mousse.
The cake is filled all the way up to the brim using fresh durian purée, along with vanilla chiffon and cheese cream. The Gold Thorn dessert is bold in flavor and is complete with some sprayed shading to add more depth to the decorative design topped off with a stem to make it more realistic. The cake is able to serve up to 5 people and only comes in one size option or as a single slice.
