Cakes – Fusion Nepal

For all their complex flavor, Fig Newtons are a deeply stigmatized cookie-cake hybrid. It’s the supermarket staple for “unhip” baby boomers, and one of the most under-appreciated snacks in the vending machine.

Some people are able to find love in their hearts for this ancient treat. Julia Bell, a 22-year-old college student has broken the code of silence around Fig Newtons and declared her love for the delicacy with her Fig Newtons plating account, @Fignudes.

The account treats Newtons like it’s part of haute cuisine, not some culinary underclass.

Fig Newts with dragonfruit, Nerd’s rope, and aromatized orange fruit leather. Garnished with yogurt-dipped raisins, one white grape Lifesaver, Juicy Drop jus, local raspberries and jellybeans.

Thx.

Summa Cum Laude class of 2018,” she was surprised to see the word “Cum” — Latin for “with”; slang for… you know — replaced with dashes.
