Poultry Potato Cakes

This Savory Cake is Topped with Mashed Potatos, Gravy and Chicken Wings

— September 19, 2015 — Lifestyle
For those individuals that don't have a sweet tooth, perhaps this savory potato cake might be something you'd be more inclined to have a slice of. This unconventional cake is topped with items you might find on a dinner table rather than chocolate, candies or sweets.

Chef Dairus Wiliams created this epic salty cake that expertly pays tributes to Southern comfort food with its ingredients. The cake features a thick layer of mashed potatoes topped with deep fried barbecue chicken wings covered in gravy and garnished with fresh herbs. This non-traditional cake cleverly merges dinner with dessert by presenting a savory meal as a dessert rather than individual dishes. This would be a great cake to serve at a sports party.
Trend Themes
1. Savory Desserts - The trend of creating unconventional cakes that blend savory and sweet flavors presents an opportunity for chefs and bakers to experiment with new flavor combinations and surprise customers.
2. Fusion Cooking - The fusion of different culinary traditions, such as Southern comfort food with cake baking, opens up innovative possibilities for chefs looking to create unique and unexpected dishes.
3. Unconventional Presentation - The trend of presenting non-traditional dishes as desserts creates a disruptive opportunity for restaurants and caterers to offer their customers novel dining experiences that challenge traditional culinary norms.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore and capitalize on the trend of unconventional cakes and fusion cooking by introducing new savory dessert products and menus that cater to adventurous taste preferences.
2. Culinary Arts - In the field of culinary arts, there are opportunities for students, chefs, and culinary professionals to learn and develop skills in creating and experimenting with savory desserts and fusion cooking techniques.
3. Event Catering - Event catering companies can leverage the trend of unconventional presentation and fusion cooking to offer unique and memorable dining experiences for clients, especially for sports parties and other themed events.
