Take a look at this cake. No, really look at it. Have you ever wondered why images like these have such a sway on us? Isn't it intriguing how a slice of chocolate fudge cake can make us feel? The kitchen here has always exemplified, perhaps unknowingly, the philosophy that a good dessert isn't merely about taste, but also presentation. Consider the Food Network's show
Chopped. Watching it with the in-laws a couple of times, I noticed that taste, texture
and presentation were factored into the judges' overall verdict. Good presentation is a consideration of all
true fine-dining facilities.
This evening, I ordered myself
a towering slice of fluffy, double-layered chocolate cake. Its top was of shadowy brown icing- rich, thick, and heavy- like the fierce cape of a dark and menacing villain threatening your waistline with a sinister
"Muahahaha!".
Mint and blueberries not only garnished the top with a touch of deep color, but also added a little bit of palatable elegance. It mostly goes unnoticed though because of the richness of the icing, the cake's dominant sensation.

It is a
seriously chocolaty dessert. So be forewarned, dear readers, that this is like the holy grail and is not for the moderate chocolate lovers but for the manliest and womanliest foodies out there. This is the kind of chocolate cake that would bump into your Hostess cupcake on the playground and mercilessly say, "Hey kid! Gimme yer icing!"
Like a lot of the food items here, it was very filling. It wasn't sweet to the point that it made me sick; it was just a lot of cake for $4.00 worth! Someone needs to muster up the courage to tell the Moon's kitchen that businesses usually rip people off when it comes to quantity and not the other way around.
