So Ashley, my mama and I had the best creme brulee ever. And shared pots of lemon mint tea. What an afternoon. Divine! They were each served in little heart shaped dishes. And Ashley was right… even Amelie would have thought this was the best creme brulee.
Just got home and my sister emailed me to tell me her bestfriend is picking out the cake for her baby shower. (Oh yes, my sister Ari is 35 weeks pregnant and going to have a little boy soon. Her first child, a little girl named Elena, is three and a half. And I don’t think she had a baby shower the first time so “why the heck not?”) Anyway, I guess the search for good desserts is something everyone in my family is interested in. After hearing the ones (carrot cake!!!) her friend was suggesting, I emailed her the link to the Peninsula Grill in South Carolina. They make such delightful coconut cakes. Not delightful… amazing. And this is coming from someone who is not a fan of coconuts at all. 
But seriously if both Bon Apetit and The New York Times can have very favorable reviews on their “Ultimate Coconut Cake” then I think it should definitely be in the running. Yum!
