There is something delicious about ordering a dessert in a restaurant where you have to wait for it to be cooked. It could mean, fresh? An odd concept I know, but we wait for our savory dishes (sin mexican). Ditch Plains has a Brownie baked in a Cast Iron Skillet, a personal skillet that is. It is about the size of a mini personal pizza, but tastes so much better. The batter is actually spooned into the skillet, then the skillet is placed in the oven and baked for about 15 minutes. 15 minut... Continue reading ...

Get it while it's hot outside! Who knew that ice could taste so sweet and delicious! Imperial Woodpecker gives NY a new meaning to the word snowball.

The ice is topped with a flavored syrup of your choice, in fact there are over 20 different flavors of syrup to choose from. The larger the size the more flavors you can choose. For a mind blowing sweet treat, top it with sweetened condense milk. I ... Continue reading ...

WOW! The Tea Set French Bistro is a great place in an area that needs a quaint restaurant that does not charge obscene amounts of money for their food. Simple, fresh and inviting. This is not a place for large groups and thank the owner for that, so many of us can enjoy The Tea Set. Breakfast is served all day. Mmmmm. Their sweets are fresh and I'd recommend their Lemon Tart. It is a perfect sized tart (not overly tart) in a delicate flaky shell. It is served with a generous portion of their ... Continue reading ...

Il Cantuccio has brought us a new way to look at a biscotti. It is also know as a cantucci or cantuccini. The most noticeable difference is the crunch or lack their of. The cantucci is softer than your traditional biscotti and slightly sweeter. You may never want a biscotti again. These Italian Cookies pair nicely with a cup of coffee or an espresso. They'd be a great addition to a early morning meeting in the office or a brunch with friends on the weekend. They have a nice assortment of fru... Continue reading ...

Quick think! You are going to brunch at your friends, you're in charge of the sweets and you have no idea what to bring. Luckily at Irene's Dolci there are a plethora of tarts to choose from. One in particular that you should bring is the Lemon Ricotta Crostata with Creme Brulee. It is a nice piece of buttery, creamy heaven with a hint of lemon served on a flaky crust. If you'd prefer something lighter, they have exceptional fruit jam tarts. Plus, inside the shop there is seating and helpful ... Continue reading ...

Attention chocoholics! This is your dream store. You can buy a chocolate bar and dip it in your chocolate tea for later, eat an outstanding spiced chocolate brownie now and wash it down with a chocolate drink, perhaps chocolate tea. I believe the spice is cayenne pepper, but have no fear it is not as hot as it may sound.http://bit.ly/ciV7Gj Continue reading ...
