Blue Velvet Otto Cake

The C&D Stenos love them their Otto Cake, which are the best cheesecakes in Honolulu, though some would say anywhere.  So, when Ms. D said she wanted to order some for her family, Umami thought he'd pick one up for Administrative Professionals Day.  Umami later found out he was a week early.  He's not good with dates.  That's why he needs the assistance of Administrative Professionals.

Otto (there really is an Otto) told Ms. D that the current "hot" flavor is Blue Velvet.  Ms. D and Umami had heard about a Blue Velvet Cupcake by Camille (of Camille's on Wheels) but hadn't had a chance to try it, so when the chance came for a Blue Velvet Otto Cake came up, they went for it.

Blue Velvet Cheesecake

The Blue Velvet is blue.  Not the pale, delicate, high-sky blue of baseball in the summer, nor the deep azure ocean blue of Mike Sakamoto's "Fishing Tales!," but, rather, a blue so intensely Smurfy (as DawnT would say) that it provoked gasps of wonder when the Stenos first saw it .

A Superbly Balanced Dessert

Like all of Otto's Otto Cakes, the Blue Velvet is phenomenal, supercreamy, with vanilla, butter, cheese, and the Oreo cookie crust in a superbly balanced dessert.  Umami thinks there's a hint of fruit in the finish, but his sugar levels might just have been shot to hell.  Nomx4!
