"A Japanese bakery in Brooklyn run by Ayako Kurokawa known for otherworldly cakes and cookies; this summer the bakery refined a corn-themed dessert by finding the right chocolate to pair with layers of sable, frangipane, and white-chocolate chantilly topped with sweet corn, resulting in a composition that reads like a squared-off corn cob from above but resembles an ice-cream-sandwich from the side." - Bettina Makalintal
