Dean & DeLuca Apple Crate Cake

Filed under: Dining

Nothing says fall like warm cake and a crate full of apples, and this is both treats wrapped into one. This Apple Crate Cake, created especially for Dean & Deluca, features carefully crafted marzipan apples nestled into a bed of white chocolate "straw," all sitting in a "crate" of chocolate cake. And it's not only decorate but every bit is edible, although it must be hard to take the first slice and ruin the illusion! Perfect for fall entertaining, the cake measures 6"x5.5" and usually ships within 48 hours, $185.

Chocolace

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Designer Ander Kant creates lace-patterned concrete tiles and, inspired by his work, another designer who prefers to work with a more palatable medium reworked some of his ideas in chocolate. Katja Gruijters is introducing her Chocolace tiles at the Chocolate Expo during Dutch Design Week. The tile above is made out of milk chocolate, but she has also done ones in shortbread, white chocolate and sugar. Although they are "real tile sized," these are not meant to be placed on the floor. Instead, they should be put on the table and chipped apart, shared over a cup of coffee with friends.

Filed under: Dining, Handbags

For the Mom who is not only a fashionista, but a chocolate lover, you cannot go wrong with handbag-shaped chocolate truffles. The Choco Choco House is run by an exceptionally talented pastry chef who produces some delicious truffles in traditional and unusual flavor combinations. It's hard to say whether eating them or simply looking at them is more pleasurable, but I'll wager that Mom will opt for eating them.

Individual purse designs are sold in sets of 6 for $20 and 12 for $40. They can also be packed into cute vintage boxes, to make the gift even more special. This is the Spring Romance box, with milk chocolate truffles filled with lightly flavored almond and vanilla ganache. The bags are adorned with a candy violet and sugared pink lilac petal and are packed in an adorable matching box. If you cannot make up your mind, you can pick out your own assortment or opt for Choco's Choice, a premixed selection.

Filed under: Dining, Handbags

Elegant Cheesecakes certainly did an elegant job with their Hand it to Mom Handbag Cheesecake. The cake is a nice sized satchel built out of a triple mocha cheesecake with a shortbread crust. The exterior of the cake is finished with high-quality Belgian chocolate that has been colored and shaped into the stylish bag that your Mom deserves to receive this Mother's Day. You might want to set it on its side before you serve it, though, otherwise you will need to get some new dessert plates to hold those extra-tall slices. For an extra $5, you can have the tag personalized. Serves 12. Price $150.
