The one dessert that stole my eye (and heart) at the Signature Patisserie was undoubtedly the Black Devil Chocolate Cake, priced oh-so-affordably at just $12 with two yuuuge mounds of gelato, of your choosing of course.

Astonishingly light in texture and porous in nature, the soft, spongy and indescribably chocolate-y cake was practically inhaled by the whole lot of us Tastemakers before you could say "dude, where's my cake?" That's right, it was that stunningly superb. I can't quite put my finger on what makes the Black Devil so damned tempting, but all I know is that I was beguiled by its charms, and now my waistline is doing penance.

As if sin didn't come in an already attractive enough package, the two massive mountains of Alfero gelato on the side added creaminess, weightiness and a measure of sensual milkiness to the already incomparable cake, making it utterly irresistible to even the most hardened of saints out there. I fell in love with the pairing of Black Devil x Chocolate Hazelnut gelato at first bite, and although I was rather reserved about my fellow Tastemakers' choice of pistachio gelato for the second scoop, I was swiftly sold on that pairing too.

In short, if being a sinner tastes this good, I never wanna be a saint.
