As I was walking down the street from a late morning brunch on University Avenue in the Hillcrest area of San Diego, I stumbled upon this place. I think it’s the name that caught my eye. ”Heaven Sent” Desserts is a big name to live up to. I was too full at the time, but what I saw in the shop was just a counter of beautiful sweets. Later, I ended up trying their Red Velvet Cupcake. Now, cupcakes are definitely getting overdone in my book, but this one is worth mentioning. Red Velvet Cake is not always great, so when I devoured this I was instantly happy. As you can see in the photo, the cake was so rich and full of moisture. The coloring was fantastic (not that cheap bright red color). I like the color to make me think I’m eating more of a chocolate cake than a food colored cake. Since I’m an icing lover, I was nervous there wasn’t going to be enough icing from the look of the top, but I was informed there was icing in the center. I love surprises like that!!! And yes, there was plenty of icing to go around. Different than the usual cream cheese icing, this icing had much more cream cheese and less sugar in it, which I didn’t mind. This made it not so overwhelmingly sweet. The cake and icing just balanced perfectly. Delicious red velvet cake with thick cream cheese icing…yum! A nice little sprinkle garnish on top to finish it off. Just lovely! xoxoBrownie
