Creating NCTzen's Green Cake: Flavors, Trends, and Memorable Moments
Dear Cake Enthusiasts, inspired by the NCIT Sharehouse video, I am on a quest to make a green cake, much like Mark did. Which flavor shall I choose to perfectly match NCTzen's delightful tastes?
Let's dive into a whimsical journey as we explore the flavors that NCT members might enjoy, drawing from their unique likes and the memories we have of their experiences together.
Strawberry Fans Green Preferences
As Gwendie pointed out, strawberry is her personal favorite, but she is uncertain about the green color. While strawberry is classic, it might not perfectly align with the distinct color scheme for Mark's cake.
Matcha Mania
One vote went decisively in favor of Matcha. Seasoned tea enthusiasts, as well as those seeking a refreshing tea-infused flavor, might gravitate towards this choice, especially since it’s a favorite in many parts of Asia. However, others warn that matcha can be harder to find, which could pose logistical challenges.
Matcha or Chocolate? A Sweet Combo
Another suggestion was to mix Matcha with chocolate, as this combination could provide a dual sensory experience. This delightful pairing not only offers a rich flavor but also caters to those who enjoy a combination of both green and brown tones.
Pistachio Possibilities
Additionally, the suggestion of Pistachio was made. This nutty flavor not only adds a rich green hue but also brings a unique, refreshing taste that could appeal to a broader audience, adding a real twist to the traditional green cake.
Lemon Lemonade?
Another vote suggested a Lemon cake, particularly one similar to the lemon Bundt cake. This choice would not only be visually striking but also provide a tangy and zesty flavor that could complement the vibrant green color. However, it would require a careful balance to ensure the final product is neither too tart nor too sweet.
Vanilla Therapy and Key Lime Inspiration
Vanilla, a tried-and-true classic, was mentioned by someone with a personal preference. However, since the theme is green, a Key Lime flavor might be more fitting, as it carries the green hue and offers a unique and memorable flavor.
There is a vivid memory of NCT 127 at an American grocery store, where Jungwoo wanted a key lime pie, but Taeyong turned him down. It was then that Mark suggested hiding the pie last minute. This memory, though not related to a flavor preference, provided the initial spark for choosing Key Lime.
Key Lime not only aligns with the green theme but also offers a unique connection to a memorable moment in the NCT 127 story. It could be a special treat for fans who enjoy the nostalgia and taste associated with the group's shared experiences.
The Ultimate Decision
While the cake is a cake, the choice of flavor should ideally reflect the group's spirit and fan-base preferences. Whether it's Green Tea/Macha, Matcha chocolate,
Whichever flavor you choose, ensure that it reflects the happy and vibrant moments of NCT's journey, much like the ones captured in the NCIT Sharehouse video. Enjoy the process, and here’s to celebrating NCTzen's love for the group and their shared memories.
