I've heard a lot about Bouchon Bakery but it fell below my expectations. Maybe my expectations were too high??? I thought the pastries were nothing special and didn't make an impact on me. They weren't awful but not so memorable either.
Red velvet cupcake - wasn't even red.. more like diluted washed out red. Cream cheese icing was good but there was too much of it. I liek my cupcakes moist but this wasn't. I've had way better red velvet cupcakes.
Bread pudding cake - Presentation was great. Looking at it made me salivate. Tasting it however, was not so great. Dry and bland.
Chocolate tart - great texture but the taste once again disappointed me. Some I can see why people would like this but it was way to rich for me. Everytime I took a bite it felt like it got stuck to the roof of my mouth. I want to eat chocolate... not peanut butter.
I've been told their macrons are good but I didn't get a chance to try it. Maybe next time? I do want to try Bouchon Bistro though...
