In the late twentieth century, he became more widely appreciated, and in the twenty-first century he has been celebrated in exhibitions around the world. He was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. Maurits Cornelis Escher ( Dutch pronunciation: 17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972) was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints.ĭespite wide popular interest, Escher was for most of his life neglected in the art world, even in his native Netherlands.

I liked the coating, kinda the best part of the item for me.

The bottom is coated in dark chocolate, a thick layer. In-between the rolls was dark chocolate, fairly flavorful, quasi-melted chips. It wasn't too dry, but wasn't particularly interesting. The dough was not croissant dough as I expected at first, but rather, more of a sweet bread. In my world, more appropriate as a breakfast item or mid-afternoon coffee break snack than a full on dessert, but, I liked it more than any of the Max's cakes. Crunchy, sweet, white chocolate on the bottom. The best element was actually the base, which you can't see here, THAT was white chocolate. Moist from the plentiful plump raisins and chunks of pineapple, but the cake itself was quite dry. The cake was somehow both dry and moist at the same time. I really disliked the coconut on top, as it was soggy and quite off putting. The cream cheese icing on top tasted like lemon, it didn't really have cream cheese flavor to it, and it was not a very good texture.

I love carrot cake, but this I didn't care for. 'Fluffy, spiced cake filled with raisins, pineapple, pecans and coconut layered and topped with creamy cream cheese icing.' Not a cheesecake you'd ever crave, but also not one you'd ever complain about. The crust was buttery compressed graham crackers, not too thick, not to hard.Įverything about it was absolutely fine, and unremarkable in any way. The flavor was decent, you could taste the cream cheese. There really isn't much more to say about it than that.
