Choccy Woccy Doo Dah Cakes!





WOWIE! A billion thanks to Ally for taking Jenny and I to the amazing place known as Choccy woccy doodah!

Where do I even begin? Ok well so we ordered two between the three of us, a lemon cake which chocolate ganache between the layers, and a chocolate truffle cake also with chocolate ganash between layers. And they came with ice cream and some strawberries on the side. All of that, those hugeeeee pieces of cake, ALL FOR 8 POUNDS. Seriously you can't tell from the photo but the pieces of cake are gigantic! Totally 100% worth it, I say!

The cakes are covered in chocolate instead of frosting, which is a crazy cool idea. And they have little delicious gummy hearts sprinkled on them, it is too cute. Ok so the Lemon one is the one I tried first, it is DELICIOUS. Incredibly moist and rich but the lemon isn't too overpowering or strong, and the chocolate ganache is deeeeeeee-licious. And there is chocolate and strawberry sauce drizzled around on the plate which is just amazingly scrumptious for dipping the cake into.

The chocolate truffle cake was also delicious but was a little bit dry and i just get sad when cakes are dry. But it was still sooooo wonderful! And both came with some vanilla ice cream that was equally tasty!

The little shop is great, tiny and crazily colorful. When we got there the windows were all fogged up, I would have never noticed it or bothered to go in but I am sooooo glad Ally knew about it to take us there! After we filled up our tummies and were conquered by the cake, we took a stroll over to their storefront where you can actually buy their cakes and other chocolatey delights, and it is AMAZING INSIDE!!! Oh it was like Heaven! It kind of reminds me of what Madame Puddifoots would be like in Harry Potter.... except that you don't sit and eat there it's just a store front. But it is incredible! Oh also they played Four Tet and Sigur Ros, how lovely!

They get a 5 for the experience alone, TOTALLY GREAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO!
