My dad always says "you catch more flies with honey". Really--he does say that. Often.
But what if that honey was in cake form, and enrobed in rich chocolate?
Say hello to the latest CakeSpy bakery crush: Bee Desserts in New York City.
Although their Greenwich Village location does offer a few different dessert offerings, their signature (and, in this spy's opinion, most intriguing) offering is a dark chocolate coated honey cake. Apparently it was borne of a desire to have a dessert "without the use of sugar or additives"...but I suppose they can be forgiven for that, because they do look (and sound) awfully good.
P.S. If the concept of the honey cake covered in chocolate intrigues you, you might also be interested in this recipe I found for honey fig chocolate covered cake. Nom!
