Dessert of the Day: Resort Desserts

I mentioned here and here that Phil and I recently spent a week in Mexico.  Since we've been home I've been busy with other commitments and running errands so I haven't really baked any desserts aside from adding chocolate chips to leftover batter from these and tossing them in the oven. 
I thought I would share photos of some of the desserts I had at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum.  Each night a different variety of desserts were on display for the taking.  Some were repeated throughout the week but for the most part there was something different to taste each night.  I knew I would miss the dessert bar and the luxury of having a large spread of goodies to choose from at each meal. 
But it's probably best I don't eat that much dessert twice a day. 
Once is okay thought right? ;)

This was one of my first dessert plates at the resort.
A few different chocolate cakes and a Blackberry Tart which was really light and delicious, a perfect combo.

This plate was from the Mexican Restaurant 'Tequila' that was located at the resort. 
The dessert in the back was a little on the strange side, it tasted almost wet in some spots which I didn't overly enjoy. 
The chocolate cake and the other cake which tasted like a spice-type cake were quite yummy.

Phil rarely had any dessert but at the Mexican Restaurant he did and wanted a photo taken of his plate. 
His 'desserts' usually consisted of fruit, and here he had a heap of watermelon. 
He also tried a Churro and was sad there wasn't any chocolate in it. ha-ha.

One night there were two watermelons carved and on display at the buffet. 
This one is my favorite.

Display of Desserts!

Mmmm . . .The chocolate cake on the left was light and fluffy while the one on the right was on the dry side but the richnes of the icing balanced it out.
The one at the back I believe was a white cake with strawberry and whipped cream in the center although I can't remember exactly now.
  I loved the details on the chocolate decorations - there were different ones each night and different shapes for various desserts.

This was one of the last (sad) dessert plates I made for myself and I decided to make it fancy by drizzling chocolate syrup around the plate.
