Am I the only one who does not care chocolate melting cake?

Before my first Carnival cruise, I did my research and found chocolate melting cake was a must have. On the board I had it and did not care for it. I ordered it again on a different cruise thought I might miss something the first time. Well, it did not change much. To me, chocolate melting cake is just another average dessert. I am not saying I hate it. But I can go cruise without it.:o

Every time I have had it, it has never been cooked properly. Too much or not enough. I prepare this dish then serve it outside of the ramekin. I am sure to plate the dish would take so much more time in the kitchen, but I am sure the real reason is the inconsistency of the end product.

 

We did the chefs table on the Imagination a few years ago (in hopes the food would be better, still not seasoned and some pairings were just bad ) In that you tour the kitchen and they prepare a melting cake. It didn't look good even there. I like the flourless cake or lava cake or soufflé cake or whatever the place its at calls it. But its very hard to prepare this properly for so many servings and to have it done on time. Most soufflés have to be ordered an hour in advance.

 

I would not be shocked if the melting cake is from a mix or frozen in the ramekins and different than the one demoed to us in the kitchen. Most of the desserts are frozen or from bulk mix. Some not horrible, and some are as bad as Home Town Buffet or one of those other Corral places.

 

I love Carnival, but the food is what it is. At least on the ships I have sailed....

It's okay, nothing more than that though.

More cake and less soup would be 100% better.

I don't see what all the rave is about myself, but to each their own.

 

And doesn't "melting" refer to an action in process, and not "melted" as in finished.

Dessert name should be called Chocolate Melted Cake. :rolleyes:

Ditto! LOL

 

If I am ever required to choose my death of choice, I would like to gorge myself until I die on Melting Chocolate cake. :D
