The Stranger valiantly samples the entire dessert menu from Mistral Kitchen's new pastry chef, Lucy Damkoehler and finds "textural magic," perfect ice cream sandwiches and desserts that resemble "beautiful, edible paintings on a plate." Should you be insufficiently impressed, consider that "Damkoehler only has about four feet of counter space and two sinks to work with, and she has to hop down five stairs and go out a set of swinging doors every time she runs to the oven."
