A fine port and some chocolate torte. A coffee with a shot of Bailey’s and your favorite crumb cake.
Sometimes dessert and alcohol just go together.
I can also imagine that these touches of alcohol give just the right kicking balance to a sometimes too sweet dessert. I don’t always have a big sweet tooth but am super intrigued by these Blue Moon cupcakes – my sista from another mista LOVES Blue Moon and can’t partake because she’s pregnant. This may be a good way to enjoy Blue Moon and some yummy cupcakes too.
$30for 12 from Etsy seller Cacao Bakery
For a (slightly) lighter treat, I love a good cookie. These cookies remind me of a grown-up’s Milano cookie with a kicked up Nutella spiked with whisky. Yum!
$9 for 6 online at Whimsy & Spice in Brooklyn!
Sigh it’s a good thing that it’s still winter and I get to wear big sweaters all day. Though I gotta figure something out when I move to a tropical climate, darn…Till then, enjoy the sweets sweeties!

I don’t have a sweet tooth either. I always think I do, but then one bite and I’m unimpressed. I think I like the idea of desserts, and simply looking at them as opposed to actually eating them!! 🙂
