The presentation is fantastic. The cake is shaped as Dr. Facilier’s iconic hat made of velvety, rich dark chocolate. The red band is Twizzler’s licorice, and the brim is a chocolate-covered lemon cookie that added a welcome lightness. The mousse cake was light, and the praline adds a nice crunch to the texture profile. It comes with a creme Anglaise that wasn’t really needed, but if you prefer to add some cream to lighten it up, it’s a nice touch.

We wouldn’t go out of our way to have this again, but if we were dining at Cafe Orleans, it’s a great end to your meal.
