THE DISPLAY CASES brim with brilliant goodies at Anas Banimousa’s The Cake Pantry. This raspberry mousse is one in a series of sweet trompe l’oeils that includes mango-, lemon-, and apple-flavored desserts shaped like their respective fruits. Its insides are layered with creamy raspberry mousse, homemade raspberry confit, and a thin layer of white cake. The outer layer is made of cocoa butter and Belgian chocolate. “I airbrush it on,” says Banimousa, who opened the shop in June, building off a family legacy and 16 years of pastry-making experience across his native Jordan as well as Turkey, Egypt, and the city of Dubai. He arrived in Indianapolis by way of Cincinnati and operated a dessert booth inside AlBasha grocery store for three years before opening his own European-style patisserie.
