Best desserts
YOUR PICKS
You say, “Cakes by CoCo has the best cakes I’ve tasted since moving to Atlanta 6 years ago! I was first introduced to the rich, indulgent sweets at a gathering. Many of the attendees inquired about the desserts and several of us have been hooked ever since.”
Tres Leches cake from Tierra.
1) Tierra
Dining critic Meridith Ford Goldman says, “The tres leches cake at Tierra makes me want to cake dive my face into the plate: sweet, almost pudding like, and blanketed with swirls of soft meringue.”
2) JCT Kitchen
3) Shaun’s
4) Cakes & Ale
5) Rexall Grill

Doggone, when I go to Cake Cafe I can never decide on what to get from cake, cookies, brownies, peach cobbler, or sweet potato pie. I play tennis for an extra hour and half to work it off!

The Bread Pudding @ Carrabbas is outstanding. My ma used to make the same type of recipe and God rest her soul a chain restaurant gives her a run for her money. Good job on a family dessert favorite Carrabba’s

White Chocolate Mousse Cake at Cowtippers on Piedmont. Five layers of dark chocolate cake with white icing. Dark chocolate melted on top of the icing and a dollap of white chocolate mousse on the side. AWESOME!

by far the absolute best of everything desserts is : The Cookie Studio. I tried a variety of their offerings at Taste of Atlanta this past weekend, and they have the most unbelievable cupcakes, cookies (my fave being ginger), as well as an awesome Key lime bar. OUTSTANDING!

My friend is starting a dessert and catering business. SHE makes the best desserts I have ever had. This weekend she made purple velvet cake (still tasted basically like red velvet). She is very creative and will be a booming success once she gets her business cards and web site done.

The layer cakes from Wright’s Gourmet. I took a cake for my husband’s birthday to our dinner at Holman & Finch with some friends. I offered some to the kitchen staff and they devoured 1/4 of the cake and came back for more. Pretty ringing endorsement if you ask me.

Chocolate Pie at the Colonnade is worth every calorie. Made with a flour crust and topped with whipped cream, the rich chocolate filling is absolute heaven.
