The sponge was too light and crumbly, not spongy at all.
The whole cake was not firm, and it didnt really taste like black forest cake.
ITS the weirdest cake I've had claiming to be a Black forest cake when it contains blueberries!

Blue forest cake @ PappaGallo
I know it is meant to be black forest cake, but the fact it had blueberries instead of cherries, I am calling it a blue forest cake!

Maxim's snowy mooncakes 2010
Since the snowy mooncakes were introduced, they have much improved,
the earlier ones didnt have so many flavours, and they were overly sweet.
Most were made with mung bean paste which was nasty.
I chose black forest and apple pie crunch after checking they did not contain mung bean paste.
There are two apple ones, fuji apple crunch and the apple pie crunch,
The product shot of the apple pie crunch appears to be brown and chocolately in the middle however when it was cut open, it was just sandy brown.
The apple pie crunch was a bit too sweet and strong in cinammon, I wish there were more bits of apple in it too.
The blackforest tasted nicer, with berry filling in the centre.
Overall the mooncakes are ok, but the full list of flavours are not listed on their website.
I am a bit surprised in this technological generation, their website it not fully up to date with the latest promotions, this was not the first case I couldnt find their lastest products, last time i tried to look up their new tea drink from MX, it wasnt on their website either.
Anyway, since the website was not very up to date, I decided to take a picture of the flavours, because their crappy leaflet dosnt list all the flavours either.
I was told no photos were allowed, but this is stupid, they obviously do not want more people to know about their products.

Apple ring @ Beard papa sweets
Since Saveur de France closed down, I never got to try the upscale Paris Brest in the end, saw a similar looking one here so ordered it.
The cream inside was custard, very thick and cold. The pastry itself was very crunchy and slightly hard, not choux like at all.
I thought there was nothing special about the Paris Brest, it just tasted like their usual cream puffs but in a bigger form of the cruller ring.
The star of the show was actually the apple ring, it was like an apple danish but in ring form, with evenly distributed pieces apples in the middle, so every bite was an even amount of pastry and apple.
It was evenly glazed and smelt very buttery when heated up. It tasted like Starbucks apple caramel drink.
There is a Beard papa' branch in the UK too, but in central london.
