Two New Cakes from Starbucks

After a divine and interesting dinner at La Nuova, the dessert part was a walk over to Starbucks. It was a nice surprise to see new cakes in Starbucks-- sugar free Cream Puff, sugar free Flourless Chocolate Cake and the multilayered Mango Madness. Don't expect anything gooey in the Flourless Cake, there wasn't any soft part; it was akin to eating a mildly gritty truffle. It isn't all that bad for me, in fact I find the texture intriguing with the chocolate rosettes adding a melt-in-the-mouth sensation. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best sugar free flourless cake there is, but for a dessert restricted with sugar, that most important element, I do think they did a good job here.
The Mango Madness, on the other hand, lacked a heavy dose of succulent mangoes. The nutty and pebbly crust blended well with the cream but the missing real mango flavor would have given it more attitude.
