Prior to the Chinese New Year, many people, especially pastry chefs or pastry sculptors are preparing for the best cake that would resemble this year's zodiac sign, which is sheep. Yahoo chose the Year of the Sheep cake made by Burrow Patisserie, which will definitely bring everyone a cake to celebrate the year of the gentle, wise, and compassionate sheep.

Burrow Patisserie is located in Brooklyn, New York. Its owner Ayako Kurokawa has a keen eye for art and an avid sculptor, which translates to her desserts.

Ayako Kurokawa is a pastry sculptor, patissier, and one of the best food stylists in New York City. She picks her inspirations from her experiences in restaurants, day dreaming when in the subway, and her Brooklyn life. She always like the comfort of wood, simple fresh dishes, and precious old things. She also loves surprising people and bringing smiles to their faces by preparing the best sweets in the city.

The pastry recipes of Kurokawa are based on the classic French recipes, yet these are made with the combination of American and Japanese influences she had as stated at the Ayako Kurokawa official website. She also developed sculpture and portrait cakes from her love for clay sculpting and stone carving. These are her remarkable works.

Burrow Patisserie serves small and nice cookies that go perfect with tea and coffee. Its hidden tiny space in one of the historic buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge will surely give you a whole new experience.

If one would dare to take a bit, he or she will find that the sheep cake of Kurokawa tastes as good as it looks. This is because it is made of custard, dacquoise, raspberries, and with layers of both buttercream and meringue.
