Let them eat cake
If your sweetie doesn't want chocolate, they may want to try the in store menu items. From cakes, cupcakes, macaroons, coffee, tea, sundaes, cake balls and more there is an array of items that you may like. On this setting I tried the sea salt caramel chocolate cake. As the favorite bon bon is the sea salt caramel, I can say most truthfully that this cake does not disappoint. At $8.00 a slice, the slice is big enough to feed three people which I did. There's a layer of salty, not too sweet caramel atop chocolate mousse. The three layer chocolate cake is moist, with a caramel flavored light colored mousse separating the cake layers. All I can say is divine. The other two individuals flat out said that this is the best cake they have ever tasted. I would say venture to purchase the cake for Valentine's Day as well.
The other items such as the array of specialty cakes, fudge, crepes and other in store items are a great reason to spend a few hours at Chocolate Secrets. They also have cute heart shaped chocolate filled gift boxes and pink boxes of Moet Chandon for you to surprise your sweetie with.
