Sugar High

Extraordinary Desserts always tops the list for decadent desserts.  Whenever family comes to town, they usually want to make it a destination during their stay.  This past week my oldest sister and my oldest niece were in town.  And naturally, Extraordinary was the place for us to meet up.  We were joined by my other sister and one other niece.  These are the desserts that arrived at our table.  Above you'll see the Tropical Fruit Pavlova.
Followed by a large slice of Extraordinary Carrot Cake.
Then a Double Chocolate Pot de Creme.
And lastly, my own dessert, a couple small scoops of Raspberry Mascarpone Ice Cream.  A tall glass of iced coffee and I was perfectly content.

As you might well imagine, there was a lot of chatter and laughter at our table.  Before we knew it, the parking meters were about to expire.  I think we all moved a bit slower on the way out the door.  Something about a sugar stupor.

    Noooooooo! We went to Extraordinary Desserts when we visited San Diego last year! I just stood and marveled for ages before ordering because the desserts looked like mini works of art.

    There's just nothing like spending time with family...until you add dessert...then it's like winning the lottery twice! I have to say, Melissa, your dessert looks to be my favorite, but they are all beautiful!

    It is going to take EXTRAORDINARY efforts to stay on my new healthy path after visiting your blog today. Wow. They look like a dream, everyone of them. I can see you guys now, all in a line - entering like busy little, quick moving ants, and exiting like a slow caterpillar. What a treat! Carolina
