 This is the top expression of Sicilian sweets, la cassata siciliana or Sicilian cassata. The best known Italian sweets are cannoli and cassata; both Sicilian. This cake is a true masterpiece but a shot of insulin should be taken before eating it. Wonderful eaten in moderation and nice to photograph.

 The absolute queen of Italian sweets, the cassata siciliana or the Sicilian cassata. This is the original one decorated with candied fruit and it has a coating of marzipan under the exterior velata or sugar coating. It is superb but a shot of insulin is recommended before eating it!
