Bopcha's Babka Blog

Hello! Today we are trying out Beigel's Babka. This babka hails from Baker inc. in Brooklyn, New York. I bought this babka at Best Market as I had a previous babka. Funny, once you have your eye out for the babka, they start appearing everywhere! This babka came in a big hard plastic container. Way too much packaging for my taste. Looks good. The tray was good enough to keep for a cheese platter!  Cutting the babka in half: Can you see the big crater? What is with that? Yes, that is a big hole up in there. Yes, big empty space. I mentioned the container and the space. What about the taste you say? The taste was good. Not great, but a good babka. My friendly co- taster mentioned that the crunchy top detracted from the overall enjoyment of this babka. Overall, a nice looking, nice tasting babka. Would I buy again? Maybe if no other babkas were available. But..... there are others !  A new blog coming soon!! Soo many babkas!!!!

Hello Babka Lovers! Today we have 2 Babkas to taste. I happened upon these 2 babkas while shopping at Best Market. They were $4.99 a piece.   Greens Bakery in Brooklyn. I had tasting help from Jon this time . There was cinnamon and there was chocolate. First, the chocolate. It looked good. However, there was not much chocolate taste. It was mainly sweet. Just an overall sugar taste.  Disappointing!!! It looks like it should be delicious!! Doesn't it?  I mean, The swirls? The lovely layers? Looks can be deceiving.  We know that! On to the Cinnamon.  Now you know, I am not the biggest fan of the cinnamon babka. I much prefer the chocolate. Okay. Now, this cinnamon babka was good! Looks good, right? Nice layering. Good swirls. It tasted good! Yes, Greens make a good cinnamon babka. But they should work on their Chocolate. Here they are side by side.  The ratio of cinnamon to cake is better that the chocolate ratio....
