raspberry, honey, red velvet, orange, bridgerton

Dearest sweet reader. This week we’re still on the ice cream train a bit - with two treats that will keep you cool. 🧊 

Plus a classic sweet that might take you back to childhood. 🧸

Plus a cocktail that sparkles. ✨ 

In other gossip, you’re invited to sip tea with the ton. 🍵  Cameo Cakery Cafe’s “Bridgerton” Tea Party and Trivia night is coming up this Saturday (7/27). Get the deets and invite at the end. 

Homemade Pop Tarts
Early Bird Biscuit Co & Bakery

Why bother with a mediocre store-bought pop tart when you can have homemade ones? 🤔 You shouldn’t. We’re grown now.

This particular tart is raspberry, but the flavors change daily - because they make their own handmade jam for the filling! Just as impressive? They are only $3.50!

Honey Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich
Honey Baked Bee

Honey Baked Bee is a unique concept in which lots of the treats are infused with honey (from Virginia - just that extra touch). 🍯 

This ice cream sandwich features their honey chocolate chip cookie (their signature item) with vanilla ice cream.

You can grab it through September for $6.

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae
Sweet Spot Ice Cream Cafe

Another unique take on a cookie paired with ice cream. 🍪 This one is a red velvet chocolate chip cookie with butter pecan ice cream - and topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and a cherry on top.

You can also pick your own flavors. Always available and $10.

Spirited Sweet of the Week
🍸

(you know - liquored up, NSFW, kid unfriendly, adulting)

“Chanél Orange”
River City Roll

She’s so pretty. 😍 This cocktail is made of bourbon, blood orange, orange juice, sour mix, orange slices, and aquafaba (a vegan substitute for egg whites). Then she gets fancy - topped with an orange rose ice cube, 2 mint leaves, and a gold edible glitter!

This is a staple and costs $14.
