They were big fans of the layered panna cotta and baby chocolate meringues

The dessert trolley at Ballymaloe proved itself to be worthy of Hollywood royalty. We are not surprised. Picture: Instagram

During their whistle-stop tour of Cork, we noted that True Blood star Joe Manganiello and Modern Family star Sofia Vergara enjoyed the splendour of the dessert trolley at Ballymaloe House. 

After some intense investigation, we have surmised that the couple sampled pastry chef JR Ryle's signature layered panna cotta and seasonal jelly, some flavoured puff pastry twists, baby chocolate meringues with coconut and lemon curd tarts.
