Having tried their cakes, we actually felt that Bearded Bella seems to be have a focus on their desserts rather than their mains. The Dark Chocolate Cake is a mousse cake that comes with raspberry gelee within; one that is significantly well-executed than most other similar cakes locally. For one, the mousse cake here does not carry that gelatinous mirror glazings that other similar cakes might have; the mousse itself being rich without being jelly-like and slightly more dense (though not bothersome) in texture. Here, the chocolate mousse is rich and luxurious; bittersweet without causing the throat to burn up with a consistent texture throughout — very elegant on its own, while seated atop a brownie layer at the bottom that could admittedly be slightly more fudgey (but that’s nitpicking a little too much). Inside, the raspberry gelee provides a light hint of tartness that cuts through the richness of the chocolate, adding a good contrast of flavour to the cake. Must say that Bearded Bella’s patisserie is certainly something I find that I would be glad to return for — quite looking forward to what they are able to come up with for the line-up of dainty cakes in the future if they do.
