Thick and smooth cream cheese frosting with hints of lemon, dense and moist cake that wasn\u2019t \u201ctoo sweet,\u201d the cupcake was nearly as good as that at Bouchon Bakery in Vegas but vastly smaller, similar in price, and unfilled. Still warm I\u2019m certain this cupcake, like most of SLJ\u2019s creations, was fresh from the oven only moments before being placed out in the storefront for sale \u2013 excellent and well worth its $4 pricetag.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbD9WhqsI\/AAAAAAAACVQ\/90nIylRrT0A\/s1600-h\/010+-++Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317725383584492226\" style=\"WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/endoedibles.com\/wp-content\/themes\/grey-opaque\/plugins\/lazy-load\/images\/1x1.trans.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbD9WhqsI\/AAAAAAAACVQ\/90nIylRrT0A\/s320\/010+-++Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317725383584492226\" style=\"WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbD9WhqsI\/AAAAAAAACVQ\/90nIylRrT0A\/s320\/010+-++Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbEBbnRyI\/AAAAAAAACVY\/0MyA9Sy3tco\/s1600-h\/012-+Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317725384679573282\" style=\"WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/endoedibles.com\/wp-content\/themes\/grey-opaque\/plugins\/lazy-load\/images\/1x1.trans.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbEBbnRyI\/AAAAAAAACVY\/0MyA9Sy3tco\/s320\/012-+Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317725384679573282\" style=\"WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xdnxgKcsXfw\/ScxbEBbnRyI\/AAAAAAAACVY\/0MyA9Sy3tco\/s320\/012-+Sweet+Lady+Jane+Red+Velvet.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<div>My second option, the summer berry bread pudding\u2026it almost isn\u2019t fair\u2026it almost isn\u2019t fair that something so good hadn\u2019t graced my palate until the ripe-old age of 29. At $7 the nearly half-pound slice of cake was a veritable bargain given the quantity and freshness of the berries \u2013 there were so many that one could almost pretend this pudding was healthy if it weren\u2019t for the wonderfully decadent layers of buttery croissant in between. With only the natural sweetness of the berries shining through and complimented by the whipped topping this dish was without a doubt the best fruit-based bread pudding ever and reason alone to rank SLJ at the apex of LA pastry shops.
