Awfully Chocolate - cakes you have to have every week

Cute Chinese takeout box for their ice cream Awfully Chocolate Storefront

I found out about this little cake shop on SH 2 weeks ago, and since then me and my friends have already gone back twice. They share the first floor of a pretty renovated old building on XiangYang Rd near FuXing Rd with Frangipani Nails. I wouldn't say it beat out my all-time favorite fresh whip cream choco cake from HongYe in Taipei, but it's up there. It only sells 3 kinds of 6" chocolate cakes -- pure chocolate, chocolate banana, and chocolate rum cherry. The cakes are not on display so there's not much to look at in the shop. They will also have a few ice cream products coming soon. This is a Singapore chain that also has opened a shop in Beijing. I asked about the delivery service and they said it will be available very soon. That's a very sinful service they'll be offering... They should also sell their cakes into cafes around Shanghai to expand their footprint. Sure don't want them to close shop like they did in Taipei...

For those who can't to buy a whole pie every week, you can get a mini satisfaction at Whisk Cafe, where they serve nice volcano chocolate cupcakes, which go perfectly w/ their mocha topped with chocolate syrup.

  3. I cannot wait to read more of this decent topic. So much today Ive never even regarded. You sure did put a brand new twist on something that Ive heard so much about. I dont believe Ive actually read whatever does this subject as good justice as you merely did.
