Mango Bene from Cafe Mary Grace.
One word: OHMY! This is piece of heaven in a cake slice! I wanted to buy one whole cake to take home but it needs to be frozen and refrigerated immediately so I was thinking it might melt on the way home. Id love to have my family taste it sometime. In the meantime, I need to buy silver coins for our New Year’s Eve celebration tomorrow! More sweets await me!
It seems I would need the best thermogenic fat burners once the holiday season has ended. I have been eating sweets like there is no tomorrow. Everytime we have coffee, I order cake. Either Banoffee pie or chocolate molten cake. Both have chocolate fudge and caramel! The banoffee pie is a year-round sweet treat while the molten cake is a seasonal treat. Have the cake served warm on top of whipped cream and you can literally taste warm caramel and chocolate fudge – HEAVEN!
This is the Almond Roca cheesecake from Starbucks. Nothing really great to rave about but the “roca” portion (Lowermost) is to die-for. It is not to sweet, which is a good thing. The chocolate frosting is bittersweet and the cheesecake portion is similar to the cheescakes they offer. Great combination with sweet coffee!
The best tasting ice cream/yogurt in town – hands down. No wonder it is aptly named the Golden Spoon! One spoonful of this sweet treat and it seems you have hit the jackpot and even discovered a few gold bars. We all know how much gold is valued, with demand for it increasing over its annual supply. I am very intrigued about investing on it after hearing it mentioned in the news and recommended by financial analysts. I just need to do more research. They say that the US Gold Bureau is the best source for precious metal investments.
United States Gold Bureau is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.
Christmas is coming and some of the most popular edible gifts during Christmas are chocolates. They are equally popular during birthdays, anniversaries, and valentines. However, the fact that many people give chocolate gifts makes it a bit harder to make an impression. To be able to make your gift memorable, the key is to carefully choose the chocolate that you will buy.
Hotel Chocolat makes it easy to give chocolates as Christmas gifts while being remembered for your gifts well. Visit their website and you would immediately be enticed with the mouth-watering pictures that you will see. You will see all kinds of chocolates in various shapes and even the cocoa itself are enough to make anybody crave for chocolate. Their holiday chocolates come in holiday shapes and designs. Aside from offering different kinds of chocolates, they also have corporate Christmas gifts since a lot of companies also prefer to give edible gifts for Christmas. All their chocolates come in classy and stylish packaging which eliminates having to wrap Christmas presents.
One of the best features of the website is the section on chocolate recipes. It was great to know that although chocolate is great to eat on its own; it still has numerous uses in other food and drinks. Among the chocolate recipes that they have on their website are caramel kiss pots, chocolate chai tea latte, chocolate crema, chocolate shortbread, liquid chocolat martini, and many more. They even let you shop for premium chocolate recipe ingredients at their gourmet cooking range.
This great chocolate place has certainly changed the way we look at chocolates, especially with products like cocoa pasta and mango strips. Buying just a few chocolates to give as gifts to other people will not suffice anymore because anyone would want to buy those yummy products for themselves.
It was the first time I was able to taste Estrel’s. We had it for my father’s birthday, and now that I have tasted it, I think I would need the best fat burner! We ordered the plain vanilla caramel cake and the butter/caramel fillings were so yummy, fluffy and light! Not too sweet at all.

Starbucks Venti Caramel Frapuccino + Banoffee Pie = Good Hormones
I heard that caffeine is not exactly good for the bones that is why I take calcium supplements as I really need my caffeine fix everyday. I treated myself to these after a week of hard work. I normally do not eat cake anymore much less coffee frappucinos but that day was an exception.
I will never get tired of cotton candy! It has been a childhood favorite for the longest time and I was absolutely thrilled that it was offered as a party food cart at a birthday party we attended a few weeks ago. It seems that party event organizers hold different sales jobs positions too – representing balloon/stage stylists, food carts, magicians, hosts and more.
I even buy them at the mall when I go widow shopping. I love that it now comes flat and in boxes – so easy to bring home to my kids who love them as well. Sweet tooth family, we are!
