Borracchini's signature frosting takes the cake

By: Anne Erickson

The place that's a Seattle birthday tradition is having a big one of their own this year. "This is our 95th year in business.  I have worked in this building since I was five years old. Because in the Italian family, everybody pitches in and works,” said Remo Borracchini, owner of the bakery that bears his family name.

According to Borracchini - who's had 86 birthdays --  there's one thing you can expect from his place:  "You can expect the finest cake you ever tasted in your life." Here's why these cakes take the cake. "We have on our cakes a special frosting that I developed, a combination of whipped cream and custard. Not sickening sweet like shortening and powdered sugar. So it's very palatable," Borracchini explained.
