This dessert celebrates the hybrid quantum memories I've been researching this summer. [I'll come back and add some details later--in the meantime, you can read the Physics Viewpoint here.] I was trying to recreate this image, which is more obvious if you take a look at the second cake I baked:
The cake itself is comprised of a base of orange cake (I made this recipe, adding a teaspoon of rose water and ignoring the suggestion to beat the egg whites), covered with bittersweet chocolate ganache. The resonator was made with toasted slivered almonds. The diamond is made with a vegan orange gel (like jello, but no gelatin) and the "spin defects" were made from melted bittersweet chocolate chips.
Fingers crossed the cakes survive the hour-ish car ride intact to our retreat!
