Sweet Friday

Art Walk Friday today in Tremont so even a store selling rubber bands and toilet plungers would be packed. Of course, it didn't really need to be Art Walk or Friday for us to pop in for visits to A Cookie and a Cupcake and Churned to see what was new.

We shared the cupcake of the day, blueberry with lemon frosting. As expected, the cake was moist, the blueberries gushed sweet blue, and the lemon frosting was a fabulous match, sweet and citrus-tart.

Day 340/365

We waddled over to Churned and noticed more new offerings. I can't say enough about how cool this place is with frequently rotating ice cream and sorbet flavors thus far.

Day 340/365

We revisited the smooth and salty-sweet maple bacon ice cream with chunks of French toast. The smoky and salty chunks of bacon still amaze me. Mexican hot chocolate with springy marshmallows was a creamy cold version of the chocolaty cinnamon drink. Smoky chocolate was not too sweet, but not as bitter as the dark chocolate with passion fruit and burnt caramel.

A rather unusual ice cream flavor combination was wasabi ginger with black sesame. This works well because the wasabi flavor is not overwhelming, but comfortably present both flavor and heat. The crisp ginger flavor gave the ice cream a nice finish.
