| - Ruelo is a high fine French patiserie with a slight Asian flair. It is conveniently located in the heart of uptown york region at Times Square. Upon entering the cafe, the decor is really clean and petite with a large wedding cake. I pre-ordered the chocolate earl grey the day before via email, and the staff who called me to confirm was really friendly.
This mousse cake looks really tasty from the picture. I was expecting a elegant and balance tasting mousse cake with fluffy sponge layer. I paid $30 for a five inch cake, it better be tasty. When I picked up the cake, it looked extremely elegant with a small chocolate block and a chocolate cigar dusted with gold sparkle. Upon cutting into the cake, the layers were really defined with chocolate mirror glaze on top, with milk chocolate mousse, chocolate sponge, earl grey bavarois.
The look was excellent, but the flavour combination just fall flat and really disappointing. It is The sponge was not really flavourful either. Well, maybe it is just my taste since many people think this place makes amazing desserts. I will try something else next time and hoepfully, it will taste better.
