If you’ve been a regular visitor of The CPB Gallery you know that I live in the NJ and recently took a road trip to Michigan and Illinois. This being the case, most of my cafe reviews revolve around the NY / NJ area but lately I’ve been blabbering about some of the many treats […]

Visiting Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan
August 5th, 2008
Not the greatest shot, but that’s Zingerman’s Delicatessen in the background, the cafe is in the foreground and in between is an outdoor seating area for patrons to chow down.
The second Taste Tester mentioned going to Michigan for vacation, the first thing that popped into my head was finally getting the chance to visit Zingerman’s […]
King’s Trading Post Party Store Review
August 2nd, 2008
The ice cream in the above photo is the “Kiddie” size at King’s Trading Post Party Store. It’s got like three scoops of ice cream in it. Welcome to the midwest, everyone.
You can’t tell from the pic but it’s topped with chocolate ice cream and the bottom is peanut butter. The consensus was that the […]
More Chicago Cupcakeries
July 31st, 2008
The incredible Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcake posted above is from The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago (from flickr user The Bleeding Heart Bakery). Drooling yet?
Taste Tester and I were only in Chicago for two days, and since we bought over a dozen cupcakes on our visit to Molly’s Cupcakes we didn’t get around to visiting […]
Back with a bang! A Review of Molly’s Cupcakes
July 30th, 2008
Hi people! I missed you during vacation, but I’m back to share some fun chocolate and peanut butter adventures from my road trip to Michigan and Illinois.
Taste Tester, Taste Tester’s brother, and Jackie Brown (our Chocolate Labrador) and I drove from New Jersey to the Canadian Lakes in Stanwood Michigan, stopping in Ann Arbor on […]
OCD Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Decorating
July 20th, 2008
So remember yesterday when I said I was going away for a little while? Well… I wasn’t kidding actually. Though I’m going on vacation, I will be posting when I’m able to, and well… I’m able to (at least today). And these photos found on flickr were just too crazy not to share.
Next time you […]
Misha’s Cupcakes
July 16th, 2008
There has been an intense on-going debate for who makes the best cupcake in NYC. There are the Magnolia lovers and the Magnolia haters. There are lists upon lists and arguments upon arguments. Well, I’m here to settle the debate for you.
The best cupcake is NOT in NYC.
It’s in Florida. At a chain called Misha’s […]
Serendipity’s Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate
July 15th, 2008
So there’s this little thing called “Frozen Hot Chocolate” at this little place called “Serendipity 3″ in this little town called New York City. Maybe you’ve heard of it.
It seems that the second a restaurant in NYC (or anywhere, I’d assume) gets featured in a movie, it’s the new tourist hot spot. Well Serendipity 3 […]
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
July 11th, 2008
It’s a sad thing to admit, but these bars look better than they taste.
The words “no bake” in a recipe have always scared me a bit. It generally seems to mean that you end up with some kind of cold, raw-ish tasting dessert, and what fun is that? But again, the other day it was […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Balls
July 9th, 2008
This is more of an idea than a recipe since there are no exact amounts given. And rather than write it out like usual, I decided to make a cartoon. This idea is based on a recipe for Amaretti Ice Cream Balls by Rachel Ray. If I were you, I’d make it with Nigella’s Chocolate […]
