First Look: New holiday menu at The Glass Knife – Winter Park

Hummingbird – Layers of moist banana-pineapple cake with pecans, filled and topped with house-made molasses buttercream, finished with golden chocolate antlers and a sparkling red nose. This is an 8″ round (serving 10-12 guests) available for $60.

We were invited to The Glass Knife in Winter Park for a media preview of their new collection of holidays offerings hosted by Executive Chef Stuart Whitfield and The Glass Knife team and we were very impressed with everything we tried.  The desserts were not overly sweet and had a nice flavor balance, making it very easy to eat.  At The Glass Knife, their three main focuses in dessert-making are: texture, flavor and complexity.

Fun fact: The Glass Knife gave away 365 pieces of cake on Saturday, November 10, 2018 to celebrate their one year anniversary.
