Momofuku Milk Bar

i had the Milk Bar carrot cake truffles for the second time this season earlier today and i can't recommend them. they seem to be lacking any distinct flavor that would be identified with carrot cake. the texture was all wrong today - much more dense than they had been before. hope they get it worked out. i already miss the apple pie cake truffles of winter.

Momofuku milk bar in the east village for addictive cookies! I love the cornflake-marshmallow one and the corn cookie. People are crazy about their pies too, but I am not a fan of those. REPLY (10 Replies) (by Ckone1999, created October 4, 2011)

I joined Chowhound just to comment on this. I ordered my wedding cake - the large one- from Momofuku for about $550. It was absolutely gigantic, and served over 250 people at my NYC wedding reception. For people who haven't tried the cake and think it will dry out, it's incredibly moist and dense- people said it was like cheesecake in richness & texture.

It was absolutely gigantic, and served over 250 people at my NYC wedding reception. For people who haven't tried the cake and think it will dry out, it's incredibly moist and dense- people said it was like cheesecake in richness & texture. The icing layers are very dense and are actually layered inside the cake. People are still raving about how good it tasted. I like the look of the cake, especially for a non-traditional wedding party. Not having icing on the outside was a plus, especially in a warm room. And an added bonus - each layer can be a different flavor. Ours had 4 flavors, which made folks very happy. Regarding cost, I am getting another -incredibly simple white cake for our traditional wedding party in Ohio. And, that one is actually more expensive, and will serve fewer people. The bonus of this Milk Bar cake is that it is so dense and rich you can actually get more servings out of it than advertised. And, it is unique. It was the best value for the money of our whole reception. And if you are having a party in NYC, you know the alcohol and food costs make this cake price look like pennies in a pot. Please . Try a $25 cake tasting before you get too angry about this cake.-COLLAPSE / REPLY (53 Replies) (by ctinaartista, created June 15, 2011)

»Momo Milk Bar Cake Truffles

WOW. These are good. Probably the most impressed with these out of any of the desserts that Momofuku Milk serves...I had one of the birthday cake truffles for breakfast, and it was moist, sweet, and perfect. A full taste of cake and frosting in a single bite (or two).

Way better than the crack pie and candy bar pie (although that one is pretty heady as well).

Also, wouldn't it be way more...+READ WOW. These are good.

Also, wouldn't it be way more attractive if they actually cut you a piece of pie and put it in a box for you rather than dishing out the mcdonalds like apple pie containers?-COLLAPSE / REPLY (8 Replies) (by doubledoc, created September 1, 2010)

»Eh.

I have loved every David Chang experience very much. I felt like Milk Bar didn't really leave a lasting impression with me. I was super excited to taste the cereal milk ice cream and I didn't like it at all. I felt like it had little flavor and what flavor it did have wasn't very appealing. I ordered a slice of chocolate later cake in which the middle frosting layer was a buttercream icing with...+READ I have loved every David Chang experience very much. I felt like Milk Bar didn't really leave a lasting impression with me. I was super excited to taste the cereal milk ice cream and I didn't like it at all. I felt like it had little flavor and what flavor it did have wasn't very appealing. I ordered a slice of chocolate later cake in which the middle frosting layer was a buttercream icing with crumbled up yellow cake mixed into it. It was very rich and delicious. We ordered a few cookies. The corn flake cookie was good. Just good. We also decided to order pork buns there as well having had them at the Noodle Bar before. They were horrible there. The pork was super dry and had little flavor. It was almost as if they were premade. Overall, I have had much much better baked goods. I will stick to his other joints from now on.-COLLAPSE (by dezineliz, created March 4, 2010)
