Throwback Thursday

While reminiscing on my unbelievable summer in New York City, I have to pay tribute to the unbelievable desserts I was lucky enough to enjoy. This week, I want to highlight the cereal milk flavored soft serve from Momofuku Milk Bar, located in Soho. When visiting New York City, this dessert is a must try. It may sound like an odd choice for ice cream flavor, but I promise it won't disappoint. If the cereal milk ice cream doesn't interest you, Momofuku Milk Bar has other popular treats for you to try including crack pie and compost cookies.

A D'Liteful Dessert

Even as the extreme dessert lover I am, sometimes I do in fact worry about my poor eating choices. If you have similar concerns, I have the solution for you, D'Lites Emporium. D'Lites is a low-calorie soft serve shop located right in Gainesville in the Millhopper Plaza, next to Fresh Market. At just twelve and a half calories per ounce, D'Lites offers the pleasure without the guilt. Every day the shop switches up its flavors, so you never have to choose from the same selection when you go back again. Just check out the website to see the flavors of the week.

D.C. Cupcakes

Last weekend I went to the nation's capital and of course, had to try some delicious sweets. It wouldn't be a successful trip without biting into one of D.C.'s popular cupcakes. The most well-known, Georgetown Cupcakes, was naturally a long wait. Instead, we decided to try another D.C. staple, Baked and Wired. The cupcake was literally the size of my head and the taste did not fail to impress. With a vanilla cake, chocolate icing and a hazelnut filling, what could be bad?
