This year has been a notable one for having terrific desserts. I’m talking dessert medleys in many cases with contrasting but complementary taste sensations and dramatic presentations. Chefs at the top restaurants have definitely taken the dessert course up several notches. Here are my picks for the best desserts of 2014 in Miami restaurants (no special order). Note that if you’d like to read reviews of all these restaurants, check past blogposts. And love to hear any dessert faves you’d add to the list.
