Additions to the Cake Creation/Consumption Record Log

9/13: Baked Cocoa Madeleines; served with tiny scoops of chocolate ice cream.



They were so-so. The ice cream was delicious. Am still searching for the perfect Madeleine recipe. Any suggestions?

9/20: Visited Penny Licks in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for a slice of their Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Mousse Layer Cake I'd read about on Serious Eats: New York.

This is the lovely photo that accompanied their post:



And this is the photo I shot:



Note frosting relocation due to jarring travels as well as an interesting layer arrangement.
Too eager to take a taste, I ate it right out of box.

Q. Was it worth the bad photograph?

A. Absolutely. It was wonderful.

UPDATE: I realized that just saying "it was wonderful" about the cake above simply would not do. It was a sublime piece of cake—vegan or not. I spent the next few days avoiding the bakery, thereby avoiding buying up a whole cake to slowly devour.
