You see the cake pictured above? This thing looks like the picture of yummy chocolate goodness. Why would you doubt it? this little 3.5 inch cake is so deceiving it should be illegal! everything about it invites you in. The perfect roundness of it, the perfect looking frosting. But then you take a bite and oh my jeebus it is horrible! oh the horror! the suffering! it tastes like it is made of really, and I mean REALLY, dark chocolate, I would say like the 90% chocolate dark chocolate. Nobody in the US would like this. Except, maybe, for my former boss. He at least pretended to love dark chocolate abominations, such as some candy that was 100% dark chocolate.

As for the rest of us this cake is horrible because it was like they made it with everything that they should make a cake out of and then instead of putting like half a cup of sugar in it they put half a tablespoon and called it a day. Jeez it was bad!

Unfortunately this is normal fare for Taipei. Even when we went to Dunkin’ Donuts, the donuts were lacking in sugar. ugh I guess the people here in Taiwan do not need much sugar. But I do! If you are ever in Taipei and you like cakes that are sweet do not go to black as chocolate. If you DO happen to like cakes that taste like they are made of 90% dark chocolate then please be my guest and go over to http://www.blackaschocolate.com//english/ and order a cake you will not be disappointed.

Jeez that was such an odd cake I had to write a blog entry about it.

This is the Ranting Jamaican signing off from Taipei… peace.
