Most people wouldn't want to spend their birthday at work, but most people don’t get their birthday cakes from Lady M.
One very generous colleague later, I'm staring at not one, but TWO of Lady M's iconic mille crepe creations. A careful cross section showcases impossibly thin layers of fluffy stacked crepes held together by a lighter-than-air sweet cream.
Citron is composed of light lemon custard, subtle, with a citrus tang you almost have to imagine. The balance is admirable, the finish, ethereal.
Dubai Chocolate is trending, and I just had to bite. The real stuff is dense and decadent, the cake is merely a caricature that captures a wisp of the chocolate and crunch. Their cake is half full of silky chocolate cream, topped with layers of pistachio, crusted with signature crunchies. Overall a deliciously delicate creation, but the overall effect is like a whisper of what Dubai chocolate really is.
I cannot complain about a single bite of these two of LA's most amazing cakes. They are not merely made but crafted with a care and precision beyond what should be possible. It's the people that made my 40th sweet, but these cakes did make it that much sweeter.
