When I go to a restaurant, and they have placards, newspaper clippings, awards, and magazine cutouts everywhere touting their wonderful desserts, I think to myself, "Wow...they know what they're doing".
Now, I just think "a lot of this is hype, some of it is really good, and the rest of the desserts are just riding the coattails of the successful one".
And this restaurant would be
Breadwinners.
Their peanut butter crunch is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! It's not like a rice krispie treat...it's much more than that! It's got the right balance of everything, and it was the right balance of chewy and crunchy. Go try it!
The rest of the cakes tasted like normal cakes to me. Even their reknown Chocolate Cake was average to me. Here are the cakes that were ordered:
The Birthday Cake - it was actually a few days old, so our waiter was kind enough to give it to us on the house. It tastes like birthday cake from your local grocer. I am not a fan of the thick overly sweet sugary, granulary icing, so it goes without saying that I pretty much hated this dessert.
Creme de Menthe Cake - I prefer Andes Mint still :) The cake part just wasn't unique enough for me.
Chocolate Cake - Maybe it is just me, but I really didn't think anything of this cake. It was just your average cake with chocolate layers. What were others tasting that I wasn't?
Some cake so average I forgot the name of it - I know that sounds bad, but when I think back on my wedding cake tasting days (best part of the wedding preparation activities!), all the cakes were so yummy! I wasn't blown away by any of them...even if I were tasting them for my wedding cake.
