Best Desserts

Forget the South Beach Diet-we’re putting ourselves on The Main Ingredient Dessert Diet, starting right now. What better way to remind ourselves that paradise exists right here on earth? Michelle O’Brien is the angel behind these heavenly baked goods, and the dessert case at her Bay Ridge café shows why. These magnificent creations are, in a word, divine. Taste the lemon mousse cake, Linzer torte, banana cream pie, fresh fruit tart, cannoli cake, key lime or Derby pies and you'll see: life is sweet.
