You know that specific kind of despair when a hotel cake shop feels too fancy to walk into, but you do it anyway because you heard the chocolate cake could fix your week? This is that list.
We checked the Mandarin Cake Shop's polished pastry cases and the slightly chaotic pickup system at Butterfly Patisserie to find the slabs of chocolate actually worth crossing Central for. It’s a lot of butter, a lot of ganache, and more than a few judgmental stares from staff in crisp suits.
One takeaway: neither of these cakes is for the faint of heart. Here’s where to get your fix.
