It's come to my attention that it's virtually impossible to find a good cake out there that's not plain or chocolate. Seems like people believe it's all about the filling and not about the cake itself. This is something perpetuated by typical Italian bakeries which are all about the puddings (tiramisu) or fillings (mascarpone).

What I'm really looking for is a German or Eastern European bakery, one that thinks in terms of hazelnut, almond, and nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. Is this simply a lost cause? Does anyone know of any bakeries that sell a cake where the cake itself is more than just a medium for goo?

Try Lyndell's in Ball Square on Broadway. It was run by a German family for years and I belive the receipes were handed down.

Lyndell's cakes are awesome, but it's not because of the cake (which is only so-so) but the incredible icing. Unfortunately, this seems the opposite of what [livejournal.com profile] fanw is looking for.

Maybe see if the Danish Pastry House (in Medford behind Tufts) can hook you up? I don't know if they make custom stuff but what I've had there is darn good eating, and not always the usual fare.
