| Fairmont catering director Tomas de la Mata plans to retire »
We're going to our cousins' home for the first Passover Seder tomorrow and we've been asked to bring cake and grape juice (for our kids who don't drink wine). Grape juice is no problem, but the cake, well, I ran over to our local Tom Thumb and Passover mixes were nowhere to be found. So I called Central Market, which caters a terrific Passover meal (had it last year, LOVED it) to see if I could buy the dessert portion, a flourless chocolate cake, separately from the full meal. Not only was that not possible, but they're not taking any more orders for the Saturday meal, although you can still get it for Sunday. However, they did advise that I could call the Central Market bakery directly to order the cake, which I did for $19.99. And now I will have something good to bring tomorrow night. The cake, for sweet-toothed ones running out of cake mixes, will be available all week long. But with Central Market only dishing out the Passover meal Sunday, I think I'll probably grab that, so we have some good grub for the week. Passover does continue for eight days... |

You could have called on Doughmonkey, as they have begun focusing on introducing more flourless chocolate cakes. I've tried one, and it is unbelievable. Scott at dallasfood.org has a mini-review as well.
While it may cost more than what you'd ideally pay for Passover, those who truly appreciate the complexities of fine dark chocolate will love their cakes.

Although I don't partake in a Passover Seder, I would imagine that type of (Passover) cake could found at the Tom Thumb at Preston Forest. Being that this particular Tom Thumb caters to a large portion of orthodox Jews.
They have a wonderful Kosher dept.
