One of the perks of having a cafe is that before offering anything for sale, it must be taste-tested and streamlined for preparation. I learned the hard way to never shoot from the hip when introducing new food onto the menu without first making sure our equipment available can handle the techniques required or that it can be replicated easily for a crowd.
At least, that's what I'm telling myself today, having prepared a dozen Cheesecake-filled Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. They won't last until Valentine's Day, so someone is going to have to make sure they don't go to waste.
In any case, we needed photos for a newspaper ad.
I didn't expect these to taste as good as they did (my opinion that cheesecake should remain pristine and encumbered by fruits and sauces and weird flavors has prevented me from tasting this prior to this). But I figured -- yeah, they're festive and all; placed in some pretty Valentine packaging -- a nice, affordable gift.
Really, how can you go wrong: Chocolate. Cheesecake. Fresh strawberries. Holy Cupid, Batman!
We'll have these at the cafe for Valentine's Day, but if you want to make sure we've got enough on hand for your Sweetie, call us at the cafe, 304 822-7171, through February 23.
