If it's edible, I will eat it. It is a hard decision because of the variation in quality of said deserts. For example, a really good cheesecake vs. a dried up tasteless one. I lean toward pastry, but it's more of a mood thing and geographical location of said desert. It would be like asking which of my 20 children do I love the most. I just can't make that kind of decision.Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170214396483091419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-54857793668242766772016-08-24T22:44:03.619-03:002016-08-24T22:44:03.619-03:00Reading between the lines, many layers of chocolat...Reading between the lines, many layers of chocolate cake means many layers of icing, yes?

Yeah, I really wish I could remember the brand name of that so I could recommend it, but we only carried it for a short while and I have never seen it in a store. I think the name started with the letter O, but that's as much as I remember. We carried eight or nine different brands of chocolate and some other candy besides.
