Little House of Dreams, Dempsey

Because we were celebrating a dear friend's birthday, we got a cake from the Little House of Dreams, adjacent to Ben & Jerry's. The little cafe looks like a tea party set-up in the astro-turfed garden of a little princess, so totally girly I almost expected My Little Pony or a unicorn to pop out.

The Fragrant Earl Grey Cake ($55) was so much prettier than it tasted. The blush buttercream confection was too saccharine, and the bergamot aroma was overpowering. Should have gotten an ice-cream cake from Ben & Jerry's instead.
