        I’m way too stuffed from dinner now, but will probably attack this in the morning.  It looks like a cupcake, but it’s actually 70% chocolate mousse surrounding a creme brulee center sitting atop a shortbread cookie.

        Chocolate Mousse "Cupcake" from Bakery Nouveau

        Ok, so more specifically, from Bakery Nouveau’s website: The base is a disc of shortbread, and on top of that is a dark chocolate mousse, upwards of 75% dark chocolate, with 2 layers of crème brûlée.  It’s finished with a very thin chocolate shell, which is sprayed on.  The velvet effect you can see is the result of putting the pieces in the freezer for a few minutes to get them nice and cold, and then spraying them with untempered, melted chocolate that has some extra cocoa butter in it.

        I couldn’t wait until tomorrow!

        From their website, a much better photo:

        So this isn’t REALLY a cupcake, but what is a cupcake, really?  Isn’t it just a little cake.

        I absolutely LOVE Bakery Nouveau in West Seattle.   Mr Shuck, his parents and I stopped by for a little treat after shopping at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market.   The in-laws got scones and Danish (boring).  I got this amazing little Snowball cake, described on their website as follows:  “Our rich vanilla cake, layered with coconut cream and milk chocolate crémeux.”

        This is an amazing cake: extremely moist and soft cake layers (probably explains why it’s a little wonkey), sweet and rich chocolate filling in the middle, nice coconut flavor.   Mr Shuck and I both loved it.  Rating: ♥♥♥♥
