Bakery Review: Payard Patisserie

It seems like forever since I’d been to a high end bakery, so at a recent outing to Caesar’s Palace, I forced myself to stop at Payard Patisserie. Life is sure tough sometimes! Although they have a variety of offerings (sandwiches, crepes, ice cream, coffees) it was the pastries I wanted to try. They had [...]

Bakery Review: Lelysee Bakery

Lelysee is one of the better Asian bakeries in Asiatown. This place has a great selection of breads and pastries. We come here mainly for their U Ta Ne bread, which seems to be a popular item here. A sign claims that this bread is made utilizing a unique baking method, during which the dough [...]

Kurobuta Pork

I’ve never been a fan of anything coming from a pig. For most of my life I’ve disliked pork chops, ham, and even bacon and sausage. In the past few years I’ve come to appreciate and even like bacon and sausage, and I’m trying to make the taste transition to pork chops. Ham, on the [...]

Bakery Review: Crown Bakery

There are a plethora of Asian bakeries in Vegas’ Asiatown, all of which I intend to review immediately. Okay, maybe I won’t get around to reviewing ALL of them anytime soon, but it’s not such a bad goal, right? =D

Bakery Review: Jean Phillippe Patisserie

For the sake of a good Valentine’s Day dessert, we trekked out to the Bellagio for pastries from Jean Phillippe’s. The place was absolutely packed, and they have a beautiful selection of pastries! Choosing only two was pretty tough… I decided on the Triple Chocolate, and Adam chose the Cheesecake. The Triple Chocolate is not [...]

Bakery Review: Nothing Bundt Cakes

Since they don’t technically qualify as ‘cupcakes’, I couldn’t really put this in with my cupcake review. And I didn’t think doing a Las Vegas Bundt Cake review would fly. But wow, are these things good! I could almost give up cupcakes for them! I believe there are two locations in Vegas, and the one [...]

Las Vegas Cupcake Reviews

It’s been tough, but I’m making every effort to try all of the Cupcake shops here in Vegas. Hard work, indeed… Okay, so the truth of the matter is that I LOVE cupcakes! When we first moved here there were NO cupcake shops. Coming from Sprinkles-land in LA, that was hard to take! Eventually the [...]

Bakery Review: Lenôtre

Earlier this month, I read that Gaston Lenôtre had passed away at the age of 88. I didn’t initally know who he was, but upon reading further I found out he was widely renowned as one of the best French Pastry Chefs, if not the very best. He reportedly revolutionized the pastry world. In the [...]

Ronald’s Donuts

Okay. Let me start by saying that I’m not and never have been a huge donut fan. But I’d heard good things about this place, and I’m always willing to try something that’s supposedly really good, even if it’s not really my thing, and especially if it’s in my own backyard! I am impressed that [...]
