Cakes

Besides Secret Recipe’s White Chocolate Macademia and Bakerzin’s Warm Chocolate Cake, the other must-try is the Opera Cake from San Terri at Plaza Damas.

We were there for tea sometime last week.

Co-incidentally, I was reading this book called Paris in Mind, a collection of essays, book excerpts, letters, articles and journal entries by American writers about Paris. Naomi Barry wrote about the Paris passion for haute chocolaterie and there was a mention of the “Opera”, a flat square or rectangular cake with alternate fillings of chocolate and coffee and a satin smooth chocolate couverture, exactly what we had at San Terri.
