A while ago I met a girl who worked as a pastry chef intern at this place called Tendergreens right by my church in Point Loma. I finally got a chance to give them a try and was delighted to try their strawberry shortcake. Delicious. The cake was dense enough to hold up the liquid from their freshly made whipped-cream and juicy macerated strawberries. My only complaint? More strawberries please! I need to have at least a half a one per bite of course! I look forward to trying another one of their daily dessert specials. My taste buds can hardly wait.

Best of Boston
This is how I usually look at a dessert menu, I read carefully read from top to bottom the list. At times if nothing sticks out to be as unique and interesting, I go with the give-in Chocolate Molten Lava Cake. The Top of the Hub in Boston, Mass, however, offered a variety of out-of-the-ordinary desserts. The one I chose was the Coconut Mousse Smores. It was first of all beautiful to look at; Second of all it was delicious on the inside. The chocolate pyramid is a thin chocolate shell surrounding the soft coconut center. The top part was a gingersnap cookie and a strawberry twist of white chocolate. My only qualm was the ordinary graham cracker at the bottom of the pyramid. That could have been more creatively incorporated, but I guess the amazing sight of the city lights of Boston at night makes up for it.
