Coop Irresistible Black forest Cheesecake

Basically I'm all for chocolate cherry so I was captivated by the black forest cheesecake which is a chocolately cheesecake on crisp biscuit base, hand finished with a Morello cherry compote.
It wasn't bad, the biscuit base was soft more like a brownie and the chocolate cheesecake was more like mousse with a lovely cherry compote.

Defintely the thing for cheesecake lovers but I am more of a cake person.

[Review] Eggfree Cake Box

Cake Box definitely stands out from the crowd because of its bright decor.

When I first went, my first impressions were not that good because the fruit cakes reminded me of the bad quality ones in Hong Kong and all the cakes were heavily decorated and too colourful to the extent they looked artificial so I did not buy any.

Upon learning that the cakes were eggless with fresh cream made me go there again.

The funny thing was that I was distracted by the cakes and decor to notice they were eggless on the first visit.
Cake Box was founded by Sukh Chamdal and Pardip Dass in 2008 with its first shop in East London and now it is a successful franchise all over London!

When I went again, I finally noticed the word eggless in small print beside the name so this cake shop is actually called Eggfree Cake Box and not Cake Box!

It was hard deciding which cake slice to get but they either have a Victoria Sponge cake base or a chocolate cake base so I decided to try both.
For Three pounds, it is quite a big slice!!

Ended up getting the Black forest cake which has a chocolate sponge base and the Coconut cake which had a Victoria sponge base.

All the cake slices are conveniently held in a sleeve which makes them easy to handle and they come in a lovely box to take home.

To be honest, they were fantastic because the cake are fluffy and moist just like the ones that contain egg.

I was expecting the Black Forest to be my favourite but it was a tad too sweet however the Coconut Cake with the Victoria sponge base was the best because it was not too sweet and had a lighter taste infused with coconut.

As for the cream, it was not bad but it was slightly stiff and crumbly and miles better than the weird waxy creams in Hong Kong.

Bounty Coconut Slice:

My new favourite is now the Red velvet which is just red velvet cake and cream.

Simple and lush.

The caramelicous was disappointing as it is described as a caramel base so I was expecting the cake to be caramel but it was just vanilla.

Prices have now gone up from 3 to 4 pounds per cake.

From 2000 to 2003.

Tim Tam Australian sweet surrender biscuits

Imagine having a black forest cake, well Tim Tam's sweet surrender offers you just that in biscuit form.
Cream and chewy raspbery jam sandwiched in crunchy chocolate biscuit coated in chocolate.
If you put it in the fridge, the jam will be even chewier.

There is also the chocolate hazelnut mousse I want to try too.

SBC 2011 Christmas series part 1

Glad it is Christmas again, especially for food there is lots more variety and new items.
To start off this year, I tried Starbucks Christmas Black Forest cake.
Next I am going to try the cranberry and blueberry Danish and the savoury wraps if they are not sold out yet.

I was attracted to the cake because of the whiteness of the cream and the cake was made up of other pieces of cake shaped together like the Battenberg or a brick wall but not as regular as the squares in that cake.

It tasted really nice, because the cake was made up of cake, mousse, cream, and pieces of jelly, which can be seen on the side.
But it was visually not as good as their product shot which attracted me in the first place.

Product shot

There was only one piece of jelly, I would have preferred more.
I could taste some slight alcohol in the chocolate mousse.
It tasted mainly of chocolate and no taste of cherry whatsoever.
