Maxim's has introduced a summer berries series which uses berries as a theme for their products.
The berries used in this series are: blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry which sourced from Driscoll.

I was attracted by their California berries series which has four items:

- 8" berries tart with Frangipane
- Summer angel [angel chiffon cake topped with berries]
- Berry mousse dessert
- mini berries tart

After trying the mini berries tart, I wanted to try the bigger version but it was sold out, so I got the berry mousse dessert for $16.
The berry mousse dessert consists of layers of chocolate sponge cake in between blueberry mousse and blueberry sauce topped with blackcurrant jelly cubes and fresh strawberries and blueberries.
The mousse, sponge and fruit was nice, but I didn't like the blackcurrant jelly as it tasted artificial.
