Somehow and without warning I ended up going to 2 separate and distinct dessert cafes today. I had no plans to do such and really no desire to ever do it again. The first was on a whim. I had spent the day shopping for groceries and other important life sustaining things and on my drive home I decided to stop in and check out a dessert cafe that I had driven past multiple times and wondered on what fair they offered. It is called "The Chocolate" and they had an array of cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and other sweet filled confections. Though I was tempted mostly by the tall frosted glass of milk I had ultimately stopped by for something sweet so I ordered a small piece of cake. It was a moist yellow cake with milk chocolate ganache icing. It was lovely, but a little too sweet (especially since I haven't been partaking in a lot of sweet things lately).
The second dessert cafe stop also was on a whim, but not my whim. After a young adult activity at a local ice rink my roommate and I decided to stroll around downtown Provo. On our wanderings in the chilled night air we walked past a pie establishment and my roommate beckoned that we should go in and sample their offerings. This cafe created deconstructed pies in which you decide a size, choose a crust, and pick a filling. I chose a "sample" size, thin mint crust, and what else but chocolate moose filling. It also was lovely, but a little too sweet.
Both of these establishment receive a thumbs up, but I wouldn't suggest going to both of them on the same day. It was a little bit of an overkill, but if I'm going to die from death by chocolate I really cant think of a better way to go.
What is the name of the pie place. I've never heard of a deconstructed pie establishment. It sounds interesting. Do they also have regular pies that are already baked?
ReplyDeleteChoc'late Mousse Pie Bar. From what I could tell when I went there it didn't look like they had already prepared pies.
