Citrus olive oil cake

The citrus was good though!

Crème Brûlée

I don't understand this flavour. it is nice. but it is also a pretty basic caramel flavour. isn't it supposed to have a toasted/burnt, caramelized, top flavour? They didn't get that in. There was some other weird flavour...

Quote from: ShelleyAlmond. There's almond in here. Oh, I got a little crunchy bit in here like the sugar they burn when it's on top.

It should be softer, I think. Some of the others are more soft. But [this one] was not, it's kinda harder.

It tasted a bit like white chocolate. I wanted a bit of egg flavour, but there wasn't one.

Lump of Coal

It's dark chocolate and something like... tea... tea leaves... or coffee grounds... bitter.

Quote from: ShelleyIt's definitely tea. Barley, maybe. Rice?

I like it!

How mysterious.

I like it too! Earthy and bitter. Looking up the flavour... "Charcoal-roasted hojicha cake and black sesame caramel—you'll never look at a lump of coal the same way again."

Rum Nog
It's not that boozy! It's good! I don't know what this flavour is though
Quote from: Shelleyhate it, there's something cinnamon or nutmeg in there. There's a warmth in my mouth afterwards

Oh no they got oversoftened.

Salted Pistachio Praline
Quote from: ShelleyPretty very pistachio! Tastes like authentic pistachio.

Champagne
Quote from: ShelleyI crushed it.
Also, I took the entire bottom.
... :( *not happy face*
Why it so boozy?
Tastes like a booze chocolate

Plum Pudding
Quote from: ShelleyWhy it taste alcoholic? Like marinated bread in a bowl? There's cinnamon or something. It tastes bad. *blech*
Pretty impressive that they got this flavour profile into a choco though, wow. Not my fav.

Cookie Butter Crunch
Quote from: Shelley*makes a face* It taste like hazelnut or something. (Is it good?) No... I mean... I don't like it. Reminds me of something. I can't place it.

Chestnut, maybe?

The little crunchies are really tiny, like wafer. It's not crunch, more like... air collapsing, which is what wafers are.

Salted Caramel
Quote from: ShelleyIt's the first salted caramel I've had where there's no salt crystal crunch, the saltiness is incorporated into the liquid

Key lime pie
Quote from: ShelleyReminds me of the TVA
Mmm! It's good! This is the right amount of really good pie to eat, not a whole slice, just a single delicious bite

Orange Twist
(We don't remember it.)

Montblanc
Quote from: ShelleyJapanese ppl don't know what a Montblanc tastes like
We only had montblanc in Japan and it was weird. This tasted nothing like that.
Quote from: ShelleyThere was something sparkly in the Montblanc, and a lot of really thin swirl layers. I don't know how they did it.

Caramel Corn
Omg this one was so great. It was caramelly and had a little bit of saltiness to it, just a bit. Shelley got a crunchy part. I'm jealous :(
P.S. the decor on this one was weird... it looked like a perfectly yellow thing that a bird had pooped on
Quote from: ShelleyIt was nice. Nothing to gasp about.

Berry Streusel
Quote from: ShelleyTastes like a Christmas wreath with the little berries. There's spices like cinnamon or something. I don't like it.
I love this one, it's very refreshing

Earl Grey
Yep, tastes like Earl Grey
Quote from: ShelleyDoesn't taste like weed
Yeah, Earl Grey stuff always has a kind of marijuana-y flavour to us... this was good though.

Opera Cake
I've never had an opera cake. It had a really almond-y, dark flavour. Not that much depth this time?
Quote from: ShelleyI don't think it captures 'opera' but it's a damn good round ball thing

Maple Pecan Pie
Not Shelley's thing, but i loved it! The combination of maple and pecan tasted very familiar, very rich, not overly sweet. As with the previous chocos, the flavours feel very distinct and i felt a sense of moving between them through time... I'll need to note the order next time...
