Dessert festival in Japan

    There's always room for dessert... especially in Japan. If you recall my videos of the basement section of a department store, who won't be in awe and resist all those fancy, mouth-watering cakes and pastries on display? After every meal, we definitely didn't miss out on dessert. We had our own dessert festival in our room. ^_^

Baumkuchen cake

     This is a German layered cake, which is popular in Japan. We first had this when our Japanese family friend gave us a box of this. 

Cheesecake

     There are 2 cheesecakes: the fluffy kind and the baked one. This was the latter. It's light and creamy with a hint of citrus.

Chocolate refrigerator cake

     Mom was hesitant buying this one because of the size. This was the smallest... but couldn't resist after all. She made the right choice. :P

Milk and white chocolate

Love it!

Custard pudding

Mom and Dad's favorite. This is similar to Leche Flan.*

Laduree chocolate ice cream

     I was surprised and happy to know Laduree also has ice cream. Of course I chose chocolate. Love it! ^_^

Strawberry Shortcake

     A popular cake in Japan, also known as a Christmas cake. This is one of my favorite cakes. Love the combination which is light and creamy. I wanted to have another slice before leaving Japan. :D

     

     Japanese cakes and pastries are as good as they look. Taste and consistency are just right, not too sweet, not overwhelming.  

     As we were walking by Ginza and waiting for stores to open, we came across a bakeshop called Dalloyau. This was familiar to Mom and Dad.  Because of our amazement with their display, it took a while before deciding on what to buy. We bought Macarons, Madeleines and Strawberry jam (sorry forgot to take a picture of our stuff). Again, we enjoyed. ^_^
