A soda fountain not to be missed!

Ok desserters!  I spent this past weekend in Houston, TX, and found the most adorable soda fountain called Nonnies!  Located in the historic downtown Tomball, Nonnie’s Soda Fountain pays tribute to the soda shops of the 1940s and 1950s.  Since I love anything from the 40s and 50s, this place was right up my alley! Behind the counter was Nonnie herself who graciously introduced me to all her staff and most importantly her famous brownie!  This brownie recipe was her Grandmothers, and she has stayed true to it for 40 years!  You

A Little Color For This Sunny Day

Our friends over at This Chick Bakes (GREAT Gluten Free sweets too!) created something nastolgic and fun for one lucky birthday dude.  Brownie has a fondness for Sour Patch Kids, so this is right up her alley.  What kind of cake is it do you ask?!  Double chocolate chocolate.  Hopefully this brings a little extra sunshine to your sunny day!

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!!!

It’s National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!!!  Americans love chocolate chip cookies! Half of all cookies sold in the United States are chocolate chip.  Did you know that the chocolate chip cookie happened by accident?  Back in 1930, Ruth Graves Wakefield added some semi-sweet chocolate chips into batter of Butter Drop Do sugar cookies that she was baking for some guest at the Toll House Inn.  I guess the guests were

AMAZING Gluten Free Cookie!

Without being Gluten Free, I rarely actually like GF sweets.  Well, my GF friend told about a cookie at Sugar & Plumm, and it changed my mind indefinitely.  The giant GF chocolate chip cookie they sell is delicious.  I usually like to heat cookies I buy (for the just-baked texture), but I liked this cookie as is.  It was so thick and moist with large chocolate disks in every bite.  There wasn’t a bite

Just when you thought cupcakes couldn’t go any further…STD Cupcakes…Ewwww!

We can’t believe we’re even posting this, but we came across this SHOCKING cupcake design and needed to share our disgust.  This post is for those of you that can’t not eat a dessert after reading our reviews. Maybe this will be one to turn you off:  STD CUPCAKES.  Yup, you read it right.  This photo above is the most mild of the creations.  The second annual Eat Your Heart Out exhibition at London’s St. Bart’s Pathology Museum is featuring them.  And you might have guessed it already, but the Evil Cake
