Everyone knows that a sublime dessert is the crown jewel of a good meal.

Your sworn loyalty to the mighty pint, however, is ripe for a coup.

Chuck that carton of ice cream and bow down to pastry chef Jeffrey Johnson, the reigning talent behind Cakedom. This king of the kitchen doesn’t give orders — he takes them, which means he won’t lower his oven door unless someone bids him to.

Some treats to beseech: a butter cake flavored with orange juice, zest, and a hint of spice; an English country apple cake with two types of cinnamon and a sugary top; and dense 4-by-4 brownies dusted with vanilla-scented powdered sugar. Or indulge in his newly knighted creations, including a chocolate celebration cake, sweetened with dates and raisins and topped with an Assam tea-flavored glaçage.

The deal gets even sweeter: Jeffrey delivers the delectables within the Bay for not a penny more. So when it comes to dessert, it would clearly behoove all to heed some very regal advice.

Let us eat cake.
