I know you already imagine…. I have made the cake of my dreams! I have been able to let out all my inner kitsch (I’m telling you it’s huge), loud, gaudy, extravagant to leave you with this Vintage Heart Cake<\/strong>. It is nothing new for those of you who read me that I feel absolute admiration for everything retro, vintage. It fascinates me.<\/p>\n

Here you have an example<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is a style that mixes elegance, originality, color, expression and even charisma. Yes, because not everyone can wear, live or feel this style naturally. I love it when I see people dressed in the 20-40’s, with colorful dresses, with flying, beautiful wavy hair, red lips …. I just love it. And from there, we move on to home decorations, especially kitchens, lifestyle and…. Recipes. I just can’t get over the emotion they evoke in me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s why when I prepare a post like today’s, I enjoy it like a child. From the moment I start to think about the recipe, design it, prepare it… To setting up the scenery for the video. Even going to buy all the props for the final scene for me is a party. This week I have been totally and absolutely in my element.<\/p>\n

Decade of the Roaring Twenties.<\/h2>\n

In this time where not only changes were experienced in fashion, home styling, customs, but also in the gastronomy itself and how food began to be presented.<\/p>\n

The 1920s were a time of significant cultural and social change, marked by economic prosperity, liberation from traditional social norms and the emergence of a more liberal and hedonistic culture.<\/p>\n

Political and social changes, such as World War I and the subsequent Prohibition in the United States, contributed to a change in attitudes and lifestyles in the population.<\/p>\n

One of the most outstanding is undoubtedly the fashion of the 1920’s. This was characterized by a break with the styles established to date. Short, loose-fitting dresses, pleated skirts, cloche hats, and men’s suits with shorter jackets and slim-fitting pants became popular. Styles reflected the search for freedom and modernity.<\/p>\n

The Art Deco movement<\/strong>, which originated in Paris, influenced the design of the era with its geometric, sleek and modern aesthetic.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nightclubs, speakeasies<\/a> and jazz were distinctive elements of the 1920s nightlife. It promoted a fun, extravagant and carefree atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Influence on gastronomy.<\/h2>\n

This lifestyle extended beyond fashions, home decorations, leisure and even behaviors. This lifestyle even reached the cuisine of the time.<\/p>\n

The food of the 1920s reflected economic prosperity and the pursuit of pleasure. Extravagant and exotic dishes<\/strong> were appreciated and valued, as well as clandestine alcoholic beverages during Prohibition.<\/p>\n

French and continental cuisine were especially popular among the high society.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Food presentation in the 1920s reflected the modern and elegant aesthetics of the period<\/strong>. Attention to detail was emphasized, with plates artistically decorated and served in a refined manner. Elegant dinnerware and glassware became popular, with Art Deco<\/em> elements and geometric designs.<\/p>\n

The presentation of dishes became more theatrical and eye-catching<\/strong>, reflecting the atmosphere of nightclubs and the search for unique sensory experiences. The desire for luxury and pleasure was reflected in all aspects of life during this vibrant and fascinating era.<\/p>\n

From this time on, cooking recipes, their presentations and decorations, became ornate, extravagant, colorful and full of all kinds of details that reflected a life of luxury.<\/p>\n

The cakes that became fashionable a few years ago, these vintage cakes, have their roots in this era.<\/p>\n

Vintage Heart Cake.<\/h2>\n

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I wanted to leave you with this marvel in case you want to fill your love’s table with joy. Certainly this can be done at any time of the year, but for me it has been the perfect excuse to make it and bring it.<\/p>\n

I wanted to carry out a heart-shaped cake, in which you do not need a mold of this shape to do it<\/strong>. I show you how to make this cake with a round mold<\/strong>. The colors I have chosen are shades of pink and red, a very striking combination, bright, gaudy, wow. But you can vary it if you prefer, of course.<\/p>\n

This is the first cake I’ve made of this type, except for the “Enchanted Rose<\/strong><\/a>” cake from Beauty and the Beast<\/strong>, which has a similar decoration on the sides. But I want to practice more this kind of cakes, I like them very much (especially to carry it out). Because I must admit that the SMBC is a dense cream that is heavy to eat …. On the other hand, both the sponge cake and the curd are incredible delicious.<\/p>\n

In short, it has been a wonderful experience that I hope and wish, if you replicate this Vintage Heart Cake, you will enjoy it as much as I did.<\/p>\n

By the way, in this post I tell you the origin of Valentine’s Day (it is a very old post, but we all have a past), in this one when the first love letter was sent<\/strong><\/a> and in this one the origin of giving flowers<\/strong><\/a>. In case you are curious.<\/p>\n
