I love taking pictures of desserts. Right now with all the circuit training at the gym that I am doing- I can only look, admire but not eat. I did try many of these and gave into my chocolate cravings whilst I was traveling early this year. It was comforting, satisfying and always exciting to find a new place in a new city.

Here is a collection images of some of my favorite sweet somethings:

Melissa's mini cupcakes, NYC

Sharing a raspberry cheesecake, cappaccinos and hot mulled wine at La Lanternas, NYC with Jae.

One Girl Cookies, Brooklyn - Beautiful cake in the window

Gourmandise- Salt Lake City, Janu's favorite

Bienenstich by Barbara- Salt Lake City (all home made, it took two days till two in the morning). Oh and it tasted just as good as it looks!

German Bakery- Salt Lake City- perfect delights for Saturday morning breakfast.

Cupcake A la Mode- Kansas City, adorable interiors. Who would have thought in Kansas City!

The Bella Nutella was delicious.

Pies at the Upper crust- Pryde of Old Westport, Kansas City

And they had adorable cookware:
