Pannikin Coffee and Tea…San Diego!

After my friend and talented director/choreographer, Casey Nicholaw, recommended I check out Pannikin Coffee and Tea while performing here in San Diego, I absolutely had to try it.  Now he specifically told me to get their carrot cake, which I happily obliged.  OMG.  I can officially say this was the BEST carrot cake I’ve ever had in my life.  Seriously.

21 Club


Kimberly Bugler is the Executive Pastry Chef at the legendary 21 Club restaurant in New York City.  Recently she developed easy summer dessert recipes that are simple enough for the home cook.  Just Desserts NYC are thrilled to feature these recipes and encourage all dessert lovers to start baking!!!  We will feature one at a time so you can have time to get into the kitchen.  I personally love the idea of basil infused ice cream.  Thai basil has a bold taste with a hint of licorice or mint.  Paired with the vanilla roasted strawberries this dessert says gourmet but seems easy to follow.  xoxo Blondie
