Sweet Escape

 
Current Russia is filled with little cafes like this one.  No, it's not exceptionally cozy, but fairly cheap and convenient.

 

My mom and I had a latte and a milkshake, in addition to some extravagant sweets:

 


But the most interesting part was the flyer lying on every table, advertising "New Sweets for the Spring 2010" produced by the largest confectionary company in Tomsk - Antonov Dvor, which conveniently listed its website on the back - if you can read a bit of Russian, you can find even more cakes on their website.


I've decided to share some of these with you - if anyone is interested in the cake descriptions, I can translate those, but just the names are worth it:

Don Quixote


Dark-skinned Girl


Bolero



Sweet Almond

Pani Eva


Raspberry Bells Ringing


For Two


Almond in Chocolate



Liza



Summer



Puzzle



Graffiti



Waltz


Chocolate and cream-cheese
