Extraordinary desserts

2929 5th Avenue
San Diego, CA 92103

Occasion: Sweet tooth fix right before we head to the airport! 8.29.10
 
Shangri La
Vanilla cake moistened with kirsh layered with white chocolate mousse, guava mousse, fresh strawberries and whipped cream
I tried it at the bakery and also bought one back home! It definitely tastes a lot better when you have it fresh or withing 24 hours of buying it.  Once it's been sitting in the refrigerator for awhile, the cake gets very mushy.  The flavors are definitely extraordinary! Love the exotic flavor of the guava in it.  This is definitely my type of cake because it's not too rich, it's light but at the same time exploding with yummilicious flavors.
Napoleon
Messy, but delicious.  I got to try a little bit of it.  It was hard to cut a piece off of the slice.  I don't like it when it's inconvenient to eat.  The custard was amazing and the pastry puff was nice and fluffy.  It was one of the best tasting napoleons I've had.
Berry Crumb Cake
It was nice and warm and way too sweet.  Amy thought that it would be less sweet than the cake desserts, but it was the opposite. I just thought it was mediocre. Not that great.
Roasted Coconut Cream Torte
A bit on the bland side. Nothing too special about it, but definitely very well presented.  The cake is very light in flavor and nothing to extravagant.  I'm glad it wasn't too rich, but still had a slight coconut flavor. Not bad in flavor.

I bought a few other slices home for my sister to try and was able to get a taste of it. Though not pictured, the moraccan definitely stood out to me. Loved it!!
