The tree cake
Three hours over a flame, one cake at a time.
In Lithuania no wedding table is finished without one. It keeps for weeks, it breaks into pieces you eat with your fingers, and it looks like nothing else on the table.
01
Fifty eggs, whisked light
The batter is beaten until it's pale and airy — that's what makes the branches crisp instead of heavy.
02
Poured onto a turning spit
Ladle after ladle, over open heat. Each pour drips and sets into another ring of spikes. Rush it and it burns.
03
Baked for your date
Nothing sits on a shelf. Tell us the day you need it and it's made in the days before.
