I've always glimpsed Eve's Temptations but have always kept a good distance from it :-) This is also another one of those shops in St Lawrence Market where the items on display are alluring but the price tags just loom up out of the display cases like those holographic projectors. But this past Thursday I set my mind to go home with some patisseries from a bake shop in the market place.
I am very glad to have picked Eve's Temptations over another place that I check out. There are so many delicious and dainty looking products on display that it felt like it was already December 23rd and a good time to purchase cakes and cookies to serve people with sweet tooth at your Christmas party.
Well, after going back at forth from one of the counter a couple of times, I decided six of the items, regardless of the prices. From what I remember they were: a Pumpkin Tart, a Pecan tart, a Peanut Butter Brownie square, another darker-colored brownie, a Chocolate-Minte Shortbread cookie and lighter colored shortbread cookie.
I must have gone on a good day because, the cakes and cookies I took home tasted fresh and had their own respective textures, the pastry casing for both tarts were soft and chewy and the shortbread cookies were slightly soft and not very sweet, and the squares were chewy. Nothing tasted off in my mouth. They were so good to have with a cup of hot herbal tea.
I'll will eagerly return here when I'm at St Lawrence Market again. :-)
