I have to mention that the flan at the Milk Pail is the best I've ever

had. You can buy single pieces or the whole round, perhaps 8 " in

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will definitely try it one of these days. I ended up buying the Whole Foods flourless chocolate espresso cake. MAN! I was in HEAVEN!!! I guess everyone else liked it too - she brought in a leftover Just Desserts cake and none of mine. DARN! ) I also noticed they had a personal-sized cake in the bakery from Crave! bakery. It was a bit pricey, but cheaper to buy than a whole big cake for everyone else.
