Top left is Hot Kiss, top middle is Creme Brulee and top right is Wedding Cake. Bottom middle another Creme Brulee and bottom right is Red Velvet.
My order also included a sugar-free White Magic, but there was a mistake, so they substituted four mini sugar-free White Magic cupcakes.
Since I feared a bland taste that would need to be followed up with sugar, my first taste was the sugar-free White Magic. It's sugar-free yellow cake with sugar-free white chocolate frosting, topped with sugar-free chocolate chips, drizzled with sugar-free chocolate ganache. Gigi’s sugar free cupcakes are sweetened with SPLENDA and topped with frosting sweetened with sugar substitute Malitol.
Thinking it would be like the difference between regular and diet soda, I was quite surprised at how good it tasted.
Next, I had Cream Brulee, which was creme brulee cake with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. Both cake and frosting filled with vanilla pudding, sprinkled with a mixture of turbinado raw sugar and crystal sugar and topped with a fondant heart.
It wasn't how I expected it to taste. Not quite like creme brulee and the cake was kind of dry.
To avoid sugar overload, I decided to postpone Hot Kiss to the following day. It's Devil’s food cake topped with hot pink buttercream frosting, dipped in ganache, sprinkled with mixture of crystal sugar and mini heart sprinkles.
The cake was also dry; although I'm not sure if it was due to eating it a day later. The frosting was very tasty though.
After this experience, I'll be on the lookout for more sugar-free desserts to try in the future.
