Posted: Oct 29, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

With all the culinary delights Austin has to offer, how does one choose?  Here are ten exceptional sweet treat destinations to tantalize your taste buds and satisfy your sweet tooth.

1.  Big Top Candy Shop.  Bringing candy back into style, Big Top has a fantastic ambience (when you can detect the ambience through the crowd) and a huge selection.  Whether you prefer Jelly Belly beans, saltwater taffy, chocolate truffles or candied insects, Big Top stocks it.  They prepare over-the-counter malts to match their old-timey design.

2.  Yum Yum Frozen Yogurt.  It may have "frozen yogurt" in the name, but Yum Yum's tastes nothing like yogurt from a grocery shelf.  Rich, smooth and delectable, Yum Yum Frozen Yogurt switches their yogurt flavors regularly.  It's self-serve, with customers creating their own unique desserts chock full of add-on's like cheesecake bites, kiwi wedges and white chocolate chips.

3.  Hey Cupcake!  Normally, getting food from a trailer wouldn't seem a hygienic suggestion.  But Hey Cupcake! is clean, approved and absolutely intoxicating.  Their Red Velvet cupcake takes the floor, and they can fill any of their cupcakes with icing.


4.  Amy's Ice Cream.  An Austin classic, Amy's not only offers a large and delicious selection, but also entertains its customers quite thoroughly.  From the acrobats the employees perform with the ice cream to the classic photo booths, Amy's has kept Austinites coming to its doors for years.

5.  Cornucopia.  Although Cornucopia's specialty is popcorn, a good portion of their menu options involve sweet popcorn.  The Birthday Cake honestly tastes like making a wish, and the Confetti resembles Runts® candies, only flakier.

6.  The Cheesecake Factory.  Cheesecake is for everyone.  And with as many varieties as The Cheesecake Factory can offer, no one leaves disappointed.

7.  Edible Arrangements.  That special someone tired of getting flowers on their birthday?  Consider an Edible Arrangement, made of (chocolate-covered) fruit and looking gorgeous.  Now, if only they made Edible Ties.

8.  Bouldin Creek Coffee House.  Bouldin Creek makes the list for their Vegan Chocolate Cake.  Resembling a combination of tres leches, flan and mousse, the Vegan Chocolate Cake is nothing short of fabulous.

9.  Dolce Vita Gelato & Espresso Bar.  Gelato.  Espresso.  Liqueur.  Malt scotch.  Perfection.

10.  Mozart's Coffee Roasters.  Whether you like your coffee with a tart, truffle or pie, Mozart's has it.

After giving your sweet tooth the gift of dessert, don't forget to give the rest of your teeth the gift of good health.  Call your local Austin dentist, Dr. Michael McCarty, to schedule your next six-month cleaning or discuss a teeth whitening procedure.  Take full advantage of Austin's sweet stops; get your toothpaste fix at Dr. McCarty's today!

    Delicious espresso chocolate brownie paired with espresso chocolate pudding. A miracle happens when you bake this. All the liquid sinks to the bottom and forms a creamy pudding. The batter rises to the top and forms a cake like brownie. Yum!

    I've always enjoyed eating pudding and I thought of making one myself (for the very first time). But I wanted to make a no bake pudding. So I decided on making a frozen one and I tried it out and it came out so good! I can feel the taste right now as I'm writing this blog!! So sharing with all of you, the recipe to a "Coconut Pudding". It'll just take an hour.
