Cake Run 15: Portobello "Chocolate Ganache" Part 1

Welcome to the 15th episode of Cake Run. Coming across a mini pastry shop in the middle of a bustling mall is quite a feat and a feast to one's eyes. At a glance, you would not get hooked with the pastries but rather with the shelves of designs reminding you of a lady's room. 

It is quite obvious as to which particular market the makers are targeting, which according to my tastes, is quite successful. Before I know it, I was already browsing the cookies, pastries and of course the cakes that this pastry counter has to offer. 

Cake selections are quite few but it has to take more than just quantity as a criteria for me to judge whether a pastry shop is worth a shot.

Chocolate Ganache

Visual: Looks Filling! The thickness of the chocolate ganache almost resembles the chocolate breading. The surface resembles a bed of flower petals, glamoring the cake further enriching its taste through its looks.

Taste: Delightful! The breading has a soft texture but is quite compact so it is very filling. The ganache as expected is creamy and would surely make you want more. However, having tasted lots of chocolate cakes that makes use of ganache, it has to take more than just that for me to consider it special or unique. But given the price and the not so little slice, you can consider it as a chocolate cake worth its name.

Feel free to share your playful comments and insights. Stay tune for Part 2:)
