You’ve been pacing yourself for Christmas dinner since Thanksgiving; relying heavily on will power, as in 100-calorie packs. Needless to say your taste buds have been left to suffer, and you fear they’re planning a midnight craving of catastrophic proportions. To ward off disaster you visit Nothing Bundt Cakes; to keep your buds playing nice with a sweet offering.
Your trainer says the holidays are no excuse to have a set back. All 3 of your Spanx strongly disagree. 3:1 Doughbot Donuts wins. Offering traditional and vegan deep-fried donuts, husband-and-wifey team, Bryan and Dannah, engineer Doughbot’s yeast-raised gourmet donuts by hand and from scratch.
You’re young, smart, and single… ish. Seriously though, you love having a boyfriend (especially when there’s a spider on the wall) but as of late you have been re-thinking your one flavor arrangement. Most of the time you like your usual vanilla with nuts. But once and while you’d like to dabble with fresh ingredients. You work up the nerve and head to Devine Gelateria & Café.
Your summer weekend forecast calls for Showers. (Scattered baby followed by patchy bridal clouds.) Time to polish up on the ooh’s and ahh’s, and let the California Caramel Company do you a favor. Like with their Gourmet Caramel Apples – hand selected, orchard fresh Granny Smith Apples dipped in caramel, garnished in chocolate and delectable toppings.
You’re the most beautiful woman in the world. Nobody can compete with your glamorous lifestyle and beauty. You’re just like Elizabeth Taylor (according to you) and like her you have an obsession with a girls’ best friend. Hers the 70-carat diamond necklace variety; yours the 17-lb longhaired dachshund version. In either case – Cupcake & The City has something for you.
Your ex was wrong about a lot of things. Take his opinion that owning 285 pairs of shoes meant you didn’t need a 286th. As if. So now that you’ve clearly moved on (you even called him to tell him just that!), it’s time to pack up your surveillance equipment and move on to sweeter options. First stop: Just opened TreyBCakes in Midtown.
You still can’t hear Pop Goes the Weasel without a smile spreading across your face. Memories of warm summer days, dashing inside to grab some quarters, standing on the curb, craning your neck to see all the icy cold sweets of the day. Yeah, the ice cream man days may be gone, but the joy of frozen confections need not be – Face Face opens in Davis!
You’ve always suspected your genetic code includes a little bit more than spice than sugar (you weren’t the nicest girl on the playground.) Still, you’re always in the mood for something (or everything) nice. Especially when it comes from Downtown’s darling new Sugar and Spice Bakery.
Chocolate Jack-O-Lanterns at Ginger Elizabeth, Midtown Trick-or-Treat & Costume Pooch Parade, True Blood Hallow’s Eve at Lounge ON20, Trick-or-Treating Parties at The Fountains and Koukla Kids, and tours of “Mansion After Dark” and The Haunted House at Maines Mansion. Here’s TwinSoup’s thoughts on this Halloween Weekend…
