Sugar and Sweets: find something crave-worthy » Portfolio http://sugarnsweets.com SugarGeek's blog about chocolate, candy, cupcakes, and other confections from around the world Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:09:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Rhubarb Dessert http://sugarnsweets.com/portfolio/rhubarb-dessert/ http://sugarnsweets.com/portfolio/rhubarb-dessert/#comments Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:09:31 +0000 sugargeek http://sugarnsweets.com/?post_type=portfolio&p=269 When I was a kid, we had lots of rhubarb around the house. I don’t know whether it was planted there purposely, or whether it was just a weed. Being resourceful and sort of hippy-ish, my parents would gather it and cook it into foods. Let me tell you, you have to add a lot of sugar and stuff to make rhubarb really taste good. We had rhubarb tapioca, rhubarb pie, and rhubarb cobbler, to name a few. You have to enjoy a tart flavor to eat a lot of rhubarb.

Here is a beautiful rhubarb dessert that certainly looks sweet! Do you like rhubarb?

Here is your dose of sticky, apply beauty. This is how I like my caramel apples, too. No nuts on the outside. Just lots of thick, buttery caramel. Enjoy!

I’ve always been a fan of vanilla cake, but sometimes “vanilla” is perceived as boring. Not so! This pretty birthday set is proof. And what girl wouldn’t love those sugary butterflies? Simply beautiful!

We went out to a movie Saturday night, and stopped at our local Cold Stone Creamery on the way home. I had a peanut butter cup concoction in a waffle bowl, and it was sooooo delicious that I didn’t stop to take a photo before I devoured it.

But I was determined to share a photo of a Cold Stone ice cream creation with you here, so I found this beautiful photo, taken by hsuanwei. Doesn’t it make you crave some ice cream?!

At first glance, do these look like cupcakes? I’ve never seen a more perfect rendition of the petite hamburger than these darling cupcakes! Such beautiful colors and attention to detail, right down to the sesame seeds on the buns. Simply amazing!
