I am looking for a cake crumb recipe. I save my left over crumbs.
I have eaten a cookie that is made from cake crumbs at Andre's Swiss Bakery in Kansas City. Let me expain what it is like and see if anyone has a similar recipe. On the bottom is a cookie, kind of like a butter cookie. Then chocolate cake crumbs seem to be mixed with some kind of liquor and some kind of icing. This concoction is piped on top of the cookie base to look like a mountain. The cookie base is about the size of a poker chip or a little larger. Then there is some kind of chocolate icing is poured on it that looks kind of like "petit fore" (not sure of the spelling) icing. It tuns a little hard and is shiny. Then just on the top of the peak, shiny white icing is poured over it that looks like white snow on the tip of a chocolate mountain. The end result is crispy on the outside, great cake, buttercream, liquor and chocolate cake inside and the cookie tastes like a shortbread cookie but is not thick. Does anyone know how to make these? Thanks Teresa

I found those recipes, but they aren't exactly what I wanted. I want a cookie with the cake and icing on top. Not a cookie made from the cake and icing. Does that make sense, or am I talking in circles?

Thanks for your attempt to help. It is very much appreciated.

It sounds like they made the cake ball recipe and piped it onto the little cookies. I bet you could even use store bought shortbread if you wanted, pipe on the cake ball mixture and then cover with either ganache or melted candy melts. They sound delicious. You can find the cake ball recipe in the recipe section on this site.

I do a lot of cake sculpting, so I'm very interested in learning if anybody has any other recipies that use cake crumbs.

Really interested in additional options. So bump.

Hi, I am new here so hope it's okay to post. I freeze all my cake cutting and then use them as Christmas pudding balls. Measurments are roughly 500gm any cake cuttings, 3/4 cup cocoa,, 1 cup ising sugar, 150gm melted butter. Beat well together and add rum, brandy or whisky and beat again. Roll into golf ball size and roll into coconut or cocoa or leave plain if going to decorate. Place in fridge unitl firm. I will post pic of them whic are decorated as Christmas puds. If you like them a little crunchy add biscuit crumbs to mixture.
