What to do when you have some time to kill in the afternoon in San Diego? Have dessert, of course.

I read about Karen Krasne’s Extraordinary Desserts a long time ago. The pictures on their website always made me drool. Finally I got to try their extraordinary dessert in San Diego.

Their cake is super fancy schmacy. I think I walked back and forth like 7 times and still couldn’t decide which cake I wanted to try.

Even their muffin looked too pretty to eat.

I finally decided on the Shangri-La.

We grabbed a seat in the loft style dining area.

Fantinel Prosecco ($9.00)

Dr. P is not that into sweets. So he said he would just have a few bites of my cake. He got a Fantinel Prosecco while watching me eating my cake. The Prosecco came with a rose pedal in it. Not only it looked pretty, it also gave the champagne a nice rose fragrance.

Shangri-La ($7.95)
Layers of Kirsch soaked cake filled with guava and white chocolate mousses with fresh strawberries and finished with whipped cream.

The cake came to the table. There were a lot of woo and wow. It’s really not just ordinary dessert. The piece of cake looked almost like an art piece.

I LOVE everything about this cake. The fresh strawberry, the moist cake, the white chocolate, the sauce.

Dr. P had a bite, then a second bite. And he still wanted more. I was like, “I thought you said you’re only gonna have 2 bites. Go get your own cake!”

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Extraordinary Desserts! Now I live in Irvine, San Diego is only 1 hour away. Is it worth 1 hour drive to get some Extraordinary Dessert? I think so!

You should try the passion fruit torte next time! I liked the shangri la until I discovered the passion fruit one. Your comment about driving an hour from Irvine made me laugh. That’s how I feel about driving from SD to Irvine for places I like to eat at!

haha that’s so funny!
We’re actually taking about driving down to SD this week.
I’ll definitely try Passion Fruit Torte next time. Maybe in a few days? haha….
