It was mother’s day, and it is definitely the best excuse to indulge in dessert cakes. So upon visiting the shop, I ended up with a popular one, a signature one and a conventional one at $38/pieceVanilla cheesecakeA vanilla scented cheese cake with sponge cake at the bottom.

Vanilla cheesecake
A vanilla scented cheese cake with sponge cake at the bottom. The cheesecake cake is extremely soft and fluffy, and literally melts in the mouth. It does not have the strong and rich cheesy flavour of the conventional New York cheese cake, but instead, has a mild buttery aroma. The sponge cake base is equally light and soft with a rich eggy flavour. Both the cheesecake and the sponge cake layer are mildly sweetened to bring out their own flavours.Double decker
A multi-layered cake with different intervals of sponge cake, flavoured whipped cream, chocolate ganache. Simply the look of this cake suggests its high level of sweetness and richness. The whole cake consists of 6 layers, with 2 layers of sponge cake, 2 layers of hazelnut whipped cream, 1 layer of chocolate whipped cream and chocolate ganache on top. The sponge cake and the hazelnut whipped cream provides a great aroma of the hazelnut flavour, which forms a great chemistry with the dark chocolate whipped cream. The sweet chocolate ganache on top, with a glossy and devilish appearance, melts in the mouth and provides the sweetness for the whole cake.
The rich chocolate flavour of this double decker reminds me greatly of rocher Ferrero and the combination of heavy cream and chocolate makes the cake rather filling.
Zoe's
A layered cake with sponge cake and a chocolate crunch bottom, topped with hazelnut flavoured whipped cream. The cream had a light texture and is lightly sweetened with a pleasing hazelnut flavour, which combines well together with the rich aroma of the milkfat. The sponge cake is again, soft and mildly sweetened, and had a rich eggy taste. The best part of the cake is the bottom crunch part: chocolate crunch with cream. The chocolate crunch brings out the hazelnut flavour of the cream, and provides a more complex texture to the cake. The final verdict:
The cakes at Zoe’s are generally mildly sweet, and is suitable for people who dislike strong and extremely sweet desserts (like me). Undoubtedly, they have a considerable amount of sugar and fat in all those whipped cream and cheese, however, its great taste and rich flavours make its calories’ worth. Nonetheless, at a price of $38, their portions are rather small, but I guess pricing is a way to limit your guilty indulgences.
