Babycake Truffles are remarkably trufflelike in appearance and beautifully covered and decorated, but the first bite reveals an extraordinarily moist and rich interior. It's like combining the best aspects of a delicate and rich mousselike pudding, a light cake, and a soft truffle: dense and gooey while light as a feather and oh-so dark-chocolaty. It's one of those products that defies description but is addictively delicious.
Right now the truffles are produced in four varieties. Original has a dark-chocolate center with a milk-chocolate shell and a white-chocolate drizzle. Cheesecake has a plain milk-chocolate shell. Macadamia is dusted with crushed nuts, while amaretto is liqueur-flavored and dusted with crushed hazelnuts. Plans are in place to expand the flavor line.
The bestsellers are two-truffle ($4) and four-truffle ($8) boxes presented as guest gifts at weddings and showers, and also Naked Truffles ($18 per dozen), truffles in plain packaging, meant to be placed on serving trays at events. For Valen�tine's Day we have a special of 24 truffles in a gorgeous, pink-and-brown-striped box with a satin bow for $36. If you get your order in by Feb. 12, it will be delivered with a gift card to the central-city area for free.
Babycake Truffles are available online and at Cork & Co., 308 Congress.
