Sprinkles (La Jolla)

Tried Sprinkles one other time, wasn't that excited about the flavors CH brought.

Today, Super Boy and I tried the following ccs:
--Chocolate marshmellow for him
--Coconut for me

My coconut: super-delicious vanilla cake, fabulous coconut cream cheese frosting

His chocolate marshmellow: very tasty dark chocolate ganache (not fluffy but smooth), with a tasty dark chocolate cupcake and a marshmellow filling down the middle

He loved his - I liked it but wouldn't choose it as my own. I'd love to try more (mmmm....had to bypass the peanut butter chip), but would certainly love to have the coconut again.

Michele Coulon, Baby!! (cake, La Jolla)

Lovely late birthday celebration with family tonight. Simple dinner. But the Sweetie "took the cake" by bringing home a chocolate mousse/ganache/meringue cake for me from Michele Coulon in La Jolla. OH BOY! Delectable Belgian chocolate cake....absolutely worthy of a big birthday. Michele Coulon pastry shop has the best cakes (they have lunch too but that's less exciting).

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION...YUM, YUM!! (Of course the Toddler couldn't resist smooshing his hand in before we even put the candles in, but who can blame him....it was too tempting sitting there waiting to be eaten....A mountain of decadent chocolate goodness).

Ralph's and VG's: your cakes are perfectly yummy for toddler birthday parties. But this cake was all about MOM!!!! (and Boy loved it too, which was a nice bonus).
