Red Velvet Brick Toast & Green Tea Mousse Cake


When the brick toast favored changed to red velvet, we decided to pop in Audabon Bakeshop (145 N. 11th Street). This time, in addition to brick toast, we got a Green Tea Matcha Mouse cake. See below for pictures and reviews of the dessert.

Green Matcha Mousse Cake
The Green Tea Mousse Cake looked visually appealing and appetizing. The mousse was very smooth and tasted well balanced. The matcha tea taste was not strong and the dessert wasn’t too sweet. There was even a surprise in the center. Not sure, if it was a brownie or oreo truffle, but it was a pleasant surprise. I thought the dessert was very addictive. Amongst four of us, we devoured this thing.

Red Velvet Brick Toast
The Mini Red Velvet Brick Toast had banana slices and read bean paste sandwiched between two layers of toast. It was topped with ice cream, cream, jam, and red velvet oreos.  I thought the toast was good, but it could have been better. The red bean paste was okay but I thought the toast would probably tasted better with jam like paste. The cream squeezed as a zig zag shape on top was delicious and tasted like buttercream. Although I could not identified the flavor of the ice cream, it complemented the toast really well. However, the red velvet oreo cookies were too sweet for me. I prefer the original oreo cookie. Overall, I would rate this 3.5 out of 5. I definitely liked the Green Tea Brick Toast more. 

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Audabon closed permanently on July 5th, 2015.
