Mora Iced Creamery, Poulsbo WA
Mmm, this ice cream was pretty good. It was on the dense side and not too milky. The delicious Irish coffee flavor was nice and bold. Noms!

Churros – Kings Bakery Cafe
Each $1.70
Kings Bakery Cafe, San Francisco CA
I like churros, but these weren’t very good. Maybe it’s because I picked them up in the morning and waited to eat them. They were too chewy by the time I tried them. The custard filling was also a bit grainy and dry.
St. Honore cake – Dianda’s Italian American Pastry
Circle of puff pastry at its base with a ring of pâte à choux piped on the outer edge, small cream puffs dipped in caramelized sugar, base filled with crème chiboust and finished with whipped cream. $38.75
Dianda’s Italian American Pastry, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this beautiful cake was so delicious! Everyone was delighted by it at work. It’s so different from a regular sheet cake and such a novelty that it’s sure to please. The rum flavor permeated throughout and was very yummy. A definite winner!

Palet and Chocolate croissant stack – Craftsman & Wolves
Palet: praline, concord grape, nasturtium. $6.50
Chocolate croissant stack. $3.50
Craftsman & Wolves, San Francisco CA
I recently met a visiting food blogger for a little dessert break along the Valencia Street corridor in the Mission. Wattwurmnashi has a beautifully well-written blog with amazing food photographs – check it out! As you can see from her blog entry of our Craftsman & Wolves visit, her food photographs are far better than my lil’ iPhone pics, lol. And it’s especially amazing since she snaps her pics so skillfully quick! Anyway, I had a great time getting to know Wattmurmnashi and continue to enjoy her fabulous blog.
Now, as far as these desserts, one was definitely better than the other. The palet was very good with a nice mix of flavors and textures (and it was pretty snazzy looking too). The chocolate croissant stack was a big disappointment. It was super dry and not that tasty.
Tahitian vanilla bean frozen custard – Fog City
Egg yolk caramel sauce. $7
Fog City, San Francisco CA
Wow, this dessert was pretty amazing! I loved the texture of both the frozen custard and that marvelous egg yolk caramel sauce. Easily one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while!

Papua New Guinea s’more – Dandelion Chocolate
This dessert was really fun to eat! I loved the square, torched marshmallow filled with dark salted chocolate atop a crisp graham cracker. Mmm, so good and decadent! $4

Buffalo milk cheesecake – Boulevard
Huckleberry conserva, graham cracker twists, almond parsley crumble, shinko pear with moscata. $10.50
Boulevard, San Francisco CA
I was intrigued when I saw the buffalo milk on the menu so I had to order this dessert. The cheesecake was certainly different – it was more dense but perhaps creamier than your typical cheesecake. And again, the components put it over the edge. The combination of the huckleberry conserve and pear globes, with the crispy twists and airy crumble was SO much fun. Noms!
Wimbledon Shrub: Pimms, housemade strawberry shrub, fresh lemon juice, Sprite, served over ice. $13
Butterscotch pot de creme – Waterbar
Vanilla chantilly, candied pecans. Lunch prix fixe $30
Waterbar, San Francisco CA
Ok, I don’t even like butterscotch very much, but add a fluffy vanilla chantilly and candied nuts, then I can easily stomach it. Actually, I really enjoyed this dessert! Mmm…
Russian honey cake – 20th Century Cafe
Krasinski torte. $6
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
Wow, I don’t know how they make this cake or what’s really in it, but it’s SO frickin’ good! I loved all the delicate layers and I felt somehow fancy just eating it, lol! This dessert is definitely a winner in my book.

Granola parfait – Zia
Frozen yogurt with blueberries and Reese’s Pieces. $4.99
Zia, Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)
Meh, this was ok. The frozen yogurt was basic and the Reese’s Pieces candies stated stale. The blueberries were good, and that was it.
Chocolate chip and walnut cookie – The Golden West
The baked goods at Golden West are SO delicious! You can smell them in the alleyway as you approach their window – it’s pretty amazing. This cookie was very tasty and quite sizable so I actually ate it over a couple days. $2.50
The Golden West, San Francisco CA
Hawaiian hangover cake – Bluestem Brasserie
Chocolate layer cake, marshmallow meringue, whipped cream, coconut, chocolate sauce. $9.50
Bluestem Brasserie, San Francisco CA
Wow, I’m not a huge dessert fan but this cake was frickin’ amazing (and beautiful)! I loved the texture of the moist cake and marshmallow meringue. The cake was sweet, but not overly so and the toasted coconut flakes were awesome. I actually just noticed that Bluestem no longer has this cake on their dessert menu, boo! So I’m glad that I was able to try it before it was 86’ed. NOMS!
