Hmmm…such a sweet dilemma!

Less expensive, light options in WC: flan at The Salvadorean Bakery – no fancy add ons, but simply very, very good. They supply flan to many of the mexican restaurants in town. And they do a decent espresso too.

3.14 Bakery on 16th has a few treats at a ridiculous $ value – right now there is some buzz on their cake balls ($1 eac) – not high end, but tasty just the same – particularly their chocolate devil food, with chocolate grenache and chocolate icing. That’s Da’ Bomb!!! Portable cake! They are so cute.

Or, consider going to Bakery N. and split one of their mousse/ cakes. Gah!!!

Rich and creamy our mousse is unsurpassed in flavor and quality. Try the gorgeous Chocolate Raspberry Dome, Passion Fruit Mousse Dome, Banana Mouse, Black Current Panna Cotta or Praline Dream which was awarded best chocolate dessert from Seattle Magazine in 2007. Also try our award winning Phoenix cake. In 2005, William and his teammates won the bronze medal in The National Pastry Competition. The Phoenix cake scored highest in flavor at the competition.
