areia treat this weekend is National
upside down pineapple cake day yes the
dessert became popular in the 1920s
after Dole sponsored a contest for
pineapple recipes today we’re bringing
you a Twist on the traditional dessert
joining us today is Susie herself Susie
serage with Susie’s Cakes with locations
around the Bay Area you know that aqua
blue uh and the delicious treats so
creative hi Susie hi guys tell us about
your particular pineapple upside down
cake okay this is a take on my
grandmother’s recipe so it’s a vanilla
cake mixed with pineapple and pineapple
juice and then on the top is like a
caramelized buttercream frosting and of
course every uh pineapple upside down
cake has to be topped with a Marino
Cherry I have to say Susie this is
unbelievably delicious I have to say
um thank you this is part of your
seasonal monthly cupcakes there’s so
much flavor in this what’s coming next
thank you um what is coming next is a
strawberry lemonade
oh yeah okay this one is the most
popular that we have year all year the
time it really is outstanding so your
cakes are both delicious but also very
beautifully decorated if people have
seen your Christmas the mint Christmas
chocolate cake if you know what I’m
talking about
work of art how do you come up with that
did you have a design background too so
no there really everything is very
straightforward at Susy cakes we’re
trying to really because it’s the um a
tribute to both of my grandmothers mild
and meline and all their recipes from
the 50s and 60s we’re just trying to
make it as like simplistic as possible
but I think in the Simplicity it looks
you know elegant and really highly
decorated I have a question for you I
have a cupcake hack that I like to do
and I I want to know if this is it
appropriate thing to do where I like to
pull off the bottom and then make like a
sandwich out of it is this is this
common for cupcake eating I think it’s
it’s awesome wait AE you put the bottom
on top so the frosting is in the middle
boom frosting in the middle and now your
hands stay clean okay that’s G you’ve
heard about 30% of the people eat it
that way so you’re in good
company that’s actually fascinating mhm
I’ve never seen that okay that’s kind of
a lot of cake in one bite but you can do
it
that’s awesome but then you get a lot of
frosting too yeah that’s true yeah Susie
I know you’ve got multiple locations
where are they right
now um we have two in the city one in
Laurel Village and one in the marina and
then in the East Bay in Lafayette and in
the north bay in green Fray Susie I know
uh you work hard on these recipes and
they’re just absolutely delicious and
the cake is so moist I don’t want you to
give away the trade secret but what is
the Magic in making them this moist and
this fresh and delicious tasting it’s
really it’s not a secret it’s just using
the best ingredients and the highest
quality butter so we use European style
butter which has the highest uh amount
of fat in it um which is what makes that
creaminess in our buttercream and the
moisture in our cake oh and that
European butter that European butter is
zero calories is that
correct right exactly for Dan it is at
least in my mind yeah no it’s it’s
really nice and dense you know it’s got
I love that about syn ability for your
teeth you know that’s the word Chris is
dense yeah and you have so many great
flavors red velvet confetti cake I mean
my kids all love yeah so yes thank you
