We tried the Peanut Butter Cheese Tart - peanut butter cream cheese tart with a hint of lemon and a crunchy layer of hazelnut praline. Expecting a strong peanut butter taste similar to that of Reese’s peanut butter cups or the Skippy peanut butter jam we have at home, we were a little disappointed as the peanut butter was comparatively less creamy and rich. It was also much sweeter. Guess it could be due to the cheese? There were little peanut bits inside too, but those weren’t crunchy at all. The tart was topped with a chunk of ganache like chocolate, which has a texture similar to the center of chocolate pralines. There was a slight Marzipan taste to it as well. Comparing the chocolate tart from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier with this, the base of this tart was sweeter and somehow, less tart-like. In general, the peanut butter cheese tart was a little on the sweet side, but still a good cake worth trying.
The second cake we tried was the Chocolate **** – multiple layers of chocolate flourless sponge, caramel peanut butter mousse, marshmallow chunks, crispy struesel dough glazed with rich, dark coating. Does it really look like a ****** cake? Well, we’re not too sure, but this cake definitely exudes elegance and looks rather pretty with the chocolate bead necklace. First bite into the cake – it was smooth and soft; it totally melts in your mouth!! There was some ferrero rocher-like biscuit embedded within the cake and with the little chocolate beads, there was an added crunchiness to the cake. On the other hand, though the description read peanut butter mousse, we could not detect any strong peanut butter taste. After eating around half a slice, we got a little overwhelmed with chocolate. The cake was rather heavy and dense with chocolate, hence one could get sick of it rather easily (thankfully we shared!).
2 cakes from 1-Caramel were enough to satisfy 2 chocolate crazy girls. In addition do give the Strawberry Short Cake and Chocolate Berry Lust a try too. We’ve tried these a couple of years ago and they were pretty nice too.

Rainy days are good for sleeping in, but if you are not, the weather makes you sleepy and gloomy. Sunny days are best if you are at the beach, otherwise you probably will be cursing at the blazing sun! I like windy & cloudy day, the breeze simply cheers me up; just like a slice of that very delicious cake.
It took a while before the first of the lot arrived on our table, and everybody focused on the pretty decorations before returning our gaze back to the beautiful cake. The patissier’s hands must be a gift from god - they make everything so pretty!
Honey, would you like some honey? Oh yes honey, I’ll like your honey!
One particular word stood out in the description, “layers of HONEY chiboust cream and strawberry jelly sandwiched within crispy almond dacquoise.” Baby, I was attracted to you, just like bees to honey. And lovely name too, Nid d’abeilles ($7.90).
Why is a black forest call a black forest? Is it because the cake was first created in a forest so black and depressing that it was a shining beacon that brightened up everything? This, was my kind of black forest cake ($7.90); it had very little kirsch soaked cherries. I always wondered why nobody did a black forest without any cherries.
My dear, would you do one for me, pretty please?
The red velvet ($7.90) was completely opposite from its name, it was red but nowhere velvety; the cake was overly-dry. It was definitely a bimbo; pretty to look at, but no substance inside. A real pity - I was eyeing the cherry ganache with much interest.
I always had a thing for rose, you know she’s pretty, cute and even her name sounds so sexy! Even though she got together with lychee, but I’m happy for the sweet couple. They tasted good together, so dreamy, blissful and pleasant! And Oh, how I wish there’s more of the Valrhona ivory chocolate glaze; I’m on cloud nine after having the Lychee rose ($7.90)!
Mango cakes are typically the type of cake that I used to have for my childhood birthdays. For the Mango Mascarpone ($8.90), there was hardly any cake since the composition was made up mostly of the mascarpone cheese cream. It came slightly disfigured, personally I felt that it would taste better if not for the addition of the coconut crumble.
And I will like the cake to have a bit of cake.
And this, was totally my-kind-of-cake! The breathtaking of her beauty seemed to suck the air out of the room, and to complete this vision of perfectness, there was the cute chocolate-film decoration. It would be divine if there’s more of the hazelnut praline feuilletine; I just couldn’t get enough of it!
If there’s a dessert to define me, this would be it, the chocolate praline cake ($7.90).
When the dessert-holics come out to play, there’s only sweets and more sweets! I love desserts outing, we get to try so many cakes just by paying one slice of cake each! Are you a dessert-holic? Join us for more sweets next time!
