Plated dessert from Karen DeMasco of Locana Verde
Last night was the New York Food & Wine Festival “Sweet” event and the desserts on display were truly awesome. Rarely are so many of New York’s best pastry chefs and their desserts all in one place at the same time. Here’s Part 1 (Part @ is here) of some of best plates on hand:
Johnny Iuzzini's Crispy Godiva Chocolate and Praline Pop with Cranberry
Johnny Iuzzini’s booth was mobbed all night. I thought he would win the fan prize but he was just beaten by The Doughnut Plant. More from Johnny Iuzzini of Jean Georges on Dessertbuzz. (more…)

The Kyotofu chocolate brownie
“Mommy, did you get those yummy vegan brownies from Kyotofu instead of those bags of Reeses peanut butter cups you usually get? Oh happy happy joy joy!” That’s what your kids will say if you score these brownies this Halloween! Really. Ok, maybe not.
Saturday night I stopped by one of my favorite dessert destinations in NYC, Kyotofu. I’ve written about them before and even celebrated my birthday there once. I always stop by for one of their “souffle” cupcakes whenever I am in the theater district.
I was in the theater district on Saturday evening and all night long I was thinking about a quick trip to Kyotofu, one of the original destination dessert restaurants in NYC. I have always been a big fan of their cupcakes which are really more like little souffles but I had never tried their macarons. Which is odd since I tasted nearly half of Manahattan’s macarons a few weeks ago. Eating a few more for comparison was just a good idea.
a nice looking macaron
The passion fruit macaron with chocolate ganache inside was a solid winner in my book. A perfectly soft but not stale outside and a smooth layer of chocolate paste inside. I asked when it was made and the host wasn’t sure but it seemed like it was either very early in the morning of that day or at around noon.
passion fruit macaron from Kyotofu
The strawberry macaron was more straight forward. It had the same nice texture as the passion fruit macaon but it was strawberry through and through. No Ganache of any kind inside.
Of course, Kyotofu also has plenty of fancy plated desserts too. I actually once celebrated my birthday their with 6 friends but unfortunately, that was one of the posts that was lost when DessertBuzz crashed back in Feb.
Recommended: Kyotofu chocolate and green tea cupcakes and passion fruit and chocolate ganache macaron
Kyotofu is located at 705 9th Ave (48 and 49th St)
This is the “new” large cupcake being offered at Kyotofu. Now you can have only “one” and not feel like such a pig. In the past, they used to make you buy them in 3’s and of course you would eat them all. I think by making them taller but not wider Kyotofu was able to bake more product in each oven. If you have never tried one of these cupcakes you ought to. Its more like a soufflé than a bread cupcake, light but with a strong and intense chocolate flavor.
