goodtoglow Posted March 12, 2010 #26 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Bitter and blanc is infinitely better than the warm chocolate melting cake. :D But seriously, had the WCMC on the first day, took one bite, and thought I was gonna throw up if I ate any more. WAY too rich. The bitter and blanc was amazing. And I just might have to make it sometime soon. MUCH better!!!!!! The WCMC really wasn't that great! And so many restaurants have it now locally!

GlendaleCruiser Posted March 12, 2010 #29 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I second that. Not that I want to bury you but I do love Tiramisu!:D;) Don't like the Tiramisu--soggy cookies to me. Love Bitter N Blanc, Grand Marnier Souffle, WCMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabamaprincess Posted March 12, 2010 #30 Share Posted March 12, 2010 First Carnival cruise I think I had WCMC every night. Now I just order it on one night. I love trying a different dessert every night. I haven't had the B & B yet, but we are on the Inspiration this Saturday so I will have to try it. I do love the Tiramisu, Cappuccino pie, and Cherries Jubilee. So many desserts, I guess I will just have to keep cruising so I can try them all. My daughter also loves the chocolate cake they have on the room service menu, she tries to order it every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissta Posted March 12, 2010 Author #31 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Did Eric like the WCMC? :) I think he did, but he's not too much of a desert guy. :) Jeff liked it, but really loved the bitter and blanc, and his desert at the Sun King! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamalicious Posted March 12, 2010 #32 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I can never finish a WCMC.....just one or two bites. Must try the Bitter and Blanc on my next cruise....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin6 Posted March 12, 2010 #33 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I love Ceasar Salad but they do put way to much achovie paste in their dressing. I say they use paste...does anyone think they use whole anchovies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY too rich. The bitter and blanc was amazing. And I just might have to make it sometime soon. Definitely no flames here!!!! Finally, a post I can really sink my teeth into (:D I know, I know . . . my bad!!) Seriously, I never thought I would find so many liked-minded people. This post is great!! IMO, WCMC really IS far too rich and b&b rules! But can we give some consideration to the creme brulee, too? Kinda matches the b&b in my book. Dang . . . now I'm getting hungry :rolleyes: and no future cruises planned yet. Hope someone has some recipes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoyle999 Posted March 12, 2010 #36 Share Posted March 12, 2010 No flaming, from me - I LOVE the Bitter and Blanc. I've tried a couple of recipes, at home, and it just wasn't close. The key is the right kind of bread. I found a recipe and DW followed it and it was just like Carnival. Then she made another batch but didn't use the exact "right" kind of bread and it wasn't the same. BTW..Bitter and Blanc is awesome!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillian marie Posted March 12, 2010 #37 Share Posted March 12, 2010 To answer a previous posters question. You can have 2 or more desserts if you'd like. The waiters will bring them usually one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_duck Posted March 12, 2010 #39 Share Posted March 12, 2010 What is the b & B and anyone have favs must try and don't waist my time Trying to decide if you are being ironic, or just a bad speller. All of the goodies certainly go to the waistline and they are so yummy they don't go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshapegal Posted March 12, 2010 #40 Share Posted March 12, 2010 i can tell you why your b&b does not taste like carnivals. the do not use brioche like every recipe i have seen for it. they use cake. when they make round cakes they actually start with sheet cakes and cut the rounds and they use cake scraps for the b&b. i saw this being done on a galley tour and the chef told me. next time you have it look closely at the little triangles sticking out of the top and you can see it is cake. smiles, bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted March 12, 2010 #41 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I believe this tread is both unpatriotic and most likely illegal. The melting cake is WONDERFUL. I have tried the other things. They are good. But WCMC they ain't! Mods- take these people away please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrmende63 Posted March 12, 2010 #45 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I am not picky...I like all the deserts! :p But IF the WCMC is done right, then it is awesome...but I have only had it on two ships that is was done right...under or over done it is icky! Hubby loves the Bitter and Blanc as do I. I have to be careful or my love of Carnival's desserts can show on my hips!:cool::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverado44 Posted March 12, 2010 #47 Share Posted March 12, 2010 DW and I are chocolate fans, but the WCMC is disgusting. Have ordered it once on every cruise to see if it has changed. Nope, still nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrlinda Posted March 12, 2010 #48 Share Posted March 12, 2010 IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BAKED ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /all caps craziness Seriously, the first thing I ask when I get on a cruise ship is "What night is Baked Alaska night!?!?" It seems to always be Friday. It's just a rare treat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my last cruise, I ordered 2 servings of it, and they brought me 2.:D WCMC is okay, but it is extraordinarily rich. Two bites, and I'm full. I never had it on my last cruise.

Too many other great desserts! Whoohoo I am glad there's someone else. I do like the WCMC because I prefer cake batter to actual cake. :D I've never tried the Bitter and Blanc. I will have to on this next cruise. I might ask for a double dose of Baked Alaska to take back to my room. Nummy! I've only had it at one restaurant on land.
