Opera Cake

Brought to us by Morgan and Ingrid when we had them over for dinner and a movie. I had never had Opera Cake. It is beautiful and delicious

Desserts I Have Loved

 This is cheesecake from The Hummus Place on the Upper West Side. It may have been one of their vegan desserts, I'm not sure. It was so light and fluffy, which is a plus because I don't like cheesecake that is heavy and slimy. It was also very light in flavor, without that cloying sourness that cheesecake often has.
 A slice of white sheetcake from Food Extortion, I mean, Food Emporium. It's pretty good for a basic dessert or when you just want sugar. The frosting has that gritty feel to it, which I LOVE. When I make homemade frosting it's gritty like that, learned that from Mom.
Frozen Custard from Rita's on the UWS. It didn't do much for me, I'd take a Mr. Softee cone for about a quarter of the price any day. But the nephew and niece like the blended drinks there, so maybe that's their forte at Rita's.
