Vanilla Bake Shop
Posted December 4th, 2008 by MegAlthough they focus more on cupcakes, I I always buy everything other than cupcakes while at Vanilla Bake Shop. I always intend to post about the yummy chocolate chip cookies, but I never am able to hold onto a pack of their cookies long enough to take a picture. Either my own monster comes out, or my cookie monster boyfriend gets to them. Hopefully one day soon, I will summon enough cookie control to get at least one picture of them - even if it means taking the camera into the store.
Last time I was there I did something I never do - ordered a slice of cheesecake. Although it is one dessert I think is good, I never order it or really crave it. But, when you put “Pumpkin” in front of another word, all bets are off and I become interested. Although a little hesitant about Pumpkin Cheesecake, after first bite, my reluctance disappeared. Insanely rich, thick, and not too subtle, but not too much pumpkiness taste with a cheesecake texture was just perfect. Of course I can’t forget to mention the dollop of cream cheese frosting that officially started the sugar party in my bloodstream. Delicious. I wish I could eat it all the time. I recommend.

I saw that there the other day when I was looking for the banana pudding to buy my friend for his birthday! They didn’t have the pudding and I contemplated getting the pumpkin cheesecake instead (he’s a fan of that silly looking squash), but decided against it since I was already disgusted by their insufficient pudding inventory.
But good to know that it is quite tasty! (The cookies too!)
