poppyseed, chocolate, ricotta, tequila

Hey sweets. This week we’re planting seeds, triple threating, playing with balls (get your head out the gutter 🧐), and losing our heads.

Let’s do it.

Lemon Poppyseed Cake
Blue Atlas Restaurant & Market

An “ice cream sandwich” like no other. Lemon poppyseed cake, vanilla ice cream, lemon curd and blueberry sauce all in one bite! Yum. 🤤 

This was a limited item and $8. However, they do occasionally make other specialty ice cream sandwiches.

Candy Coated Brownie
Pin & Pan Bakery

Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate sounds like a good thing to me. 🍫 These chocolate brownies are topped with chocolate ganache and then sprinkled with chocolate candies. 

It's an occasional/rotated item and costs $4.50.

Ricotta Doughnuts
Red Salt Chophouse & Sushi

You don’t really think of doughnuts when you mention cheese, but in cases like these it’s a perfect match. 🧀

These ricotta donuts, which were a limited item, are tossed in powdered sugar and served with raspberry sauce.

Spirited Sweet of the Week

(you know - liquored up, NSFW, adulting)

Skull Margaritas
Blue Habanero - Street Tacos & Tequila

Margaritas are pretty perfect on their own, but why not have fun packaging. 💀 Not only are these skulls cool, but they are a decent size. And they are staples.
