I have to bring it to my friends' place, which is 90 min from here (probably more today, because of the traffic), so ice cream cakes are excluded. Is there anything good at Pain Doré that may fit my needs? I need a place either downtown, plateau or in the eastern part of the island. TIA!

They travel well and are always popular; I took a big key lime cake to a baby shower recently, put it on the table without fanfare and it was gone (in about ten minutes) before all the other desserts. Go before noon for the biggest selection. Fri Jul 13 07:46:19 -0700 2007 2746090 10520 carswell 1 2746289 I've been quite impressed with cakes we've gotten from Saveurs Du Plateau. They were delicious and very skilfully made in classic French style. I don't remember too many specifics, but I do remember that I loved them, and I'm very picky about cakes.

The other one we had was a layered mousse cake (there definitely was a creme brulée mousse in there, as well as chocolate) covered in chocolate and sprinkled with gold leaf. We drove from montreal to Sherbrooke with this one (in September) and it stood up just fine and was a big hit. They really are the best I've had in town. You can go in advance and order one from their binder, or just go early in the day to make sure there's still some selection.

I can speak for Fous Desserts, as I ordered three cakes from there for a friend's leaving-town party. It was fairly expensive (as cake for 25 would be), but absolutely delicious. Similar in concept to the cakes at Saveurs du Plateau, I believe. Fri Jul 13 15:38:47 -0700 2007 2746090 103468 JQReid
