Lady M Cake Boutique

Hands down, the best cakes are at Lady M. Every day while we were in New York, we kept making plans to come back, but there was too much to do! One time is just not enough for us.

Checkers Cake chocolate and vanilla sponge cake

Wanna play checkers with us?

But we'll eat the board before you could finish setting up HAHAHA

The cake was good, not too sweet which is important. The texture of the cake was spongy which contrasted nicely with the smooth chocolate ganache on top.

Mille Crêpes Cake

This cake was amazing. It had more than 20 layers of thin handmade crepes with light pastry cream in between. And ALL HANDMADE! Imagine how much hard work and love was put into this slice of cake! And honestly, we tasted the love! It was DELICIOUS. We both agree that this is probably the best cake either of us have ever had. It's light and fluffy and the texture, due to the 20 layers, is super fun to eat!

We really regret not going out of our way to come back for another slice!! Now that we're back in California, we looked up if they could ship the Mille Crêpes Cake across the country to us. And, haha, they actually can! Except shipping costs more than half the price of the cake itself. Which means that the cake would cost us over $100, which is psycho.

And on our way out, we discovered a free toaster. WOOHOO! We would have taken it if we had extra room in our luggage. Can't go wrong with too many toasters in your house. We mean, what if you wanted to toast 20 pieces of bread at one time? Then you could make your own Mille Toast Cake

"WORKS! :)"

Gramercy Tavern

Interior

Remember the sea salt and butter we had at Jean Georges? IT WAS THE BOMB.

And we found another bomb here at Gramercy Tavern. Honestly, this butter is the best. We gotta find out if we could buy it at our supermarket. That way we could stuff our faces with butter everyday. MMM!

Graprefruit Amberjack served with a citrus salad of blood red oranges, grapefruit, olives, and capers

The Grapefruit Amberjack was the special that day. The way the waitress described it sounded so yummy, we both ordered the dish. That's why there are two photos! They look similar, but if you look closely, you can tell that the amberjack in the second photo is boxier in shape, the greens are organized in a different fashion and hahaha

We both agreed that this dish was one of the best meals we had in New York. The citrus salad was quite amazing. The tanginess went well with the amberjack and pretty much by itself as well. We licked our plates clean

Macadamia and Coconut Brown Butter Cake with Coffee Ice Cream

Look! We ordered a brown egg for dessert!

Hard-boiled hehehe

No but really, doesn't the scoop of ice cream look like an egg. At first, the two of us were like "uh...think you gave us an egg..." When we were told it was coffee ice cream, it blew our minds.

First off, the scoop's not round!

Second, why is it so freaking small? It's half the size of a single scoop at Baskin Robbins. But we forgive them because it was so much better than Baskin Robbins.

Although the ice cream was better than the cake. The cake was alright and typical, not even sure what else to say about it. Just imagine a Macadamia and Coconut Brown Butter Cake and that's pretty much what it tastes like.

Ricotta Cheesecake with Black Currant Sorbet and Chocolate

Look! We ordered a red egg for dessert!

HAHAHA

But man, this sorbet was SO GOOD. It black currant flavor EXPLODED in your mouth. It's really too bad the scoop was so small...

And the two of us had to share it....

The cheesecake was also fantastic. It was rich but not too heavy and had a light, sweet flavor to it which paired nicely with the sour sorbet.

Doughnut Plant

Everything was color-donut-coordinated! The chairs, tables, and the wall were all donut-fied and adorable.

We always order more than we can handle (comfortably, meaning we can fninsh but our bellies aren't that happy but WE ARE and that's what counts haha)

Crème Brûlée Doughnut

Crème Brûlée Doughnut innards

Oh-hoho look at that filling! Most of their donuts have filling which is awesome! And we like the fluffy texture of yeast donuts because they're fluffy like doggies and we like doggies. Haha but honestly, yeast are better than cake donuts.
