AMAZING
1st TORTA CIOCCOLATO
Sorella, Milwaukee
A magical flourless chocolate cake oozing with flavor. An airy whipped cream topping. Gentle and savory caramel sauce… I want more. I want a lot more. This was heaven on a plate. There are not words to describe the chocolatey heaven I was sent to by this dessert. An out-of-body culinary experience!!!
2nd RED VELVET CAKE POP
C. Adam's Bakery, Milwaukee
WOW WOW WOW!!! A fudgy red velvet cake with a chocolate shell… there are not words that capture how delightful this treat is!!! One of the best desserts I have EVER HAD!!!
3rd MAPLE PANNA COTTA
Sorella, Milwaukee
A heavenly bourbon-soaked baked apple dessert with a decadent maple cream topped with crunchy oats. Truly one of the most delightful desserts I have ever had. A lovely experience of contrasting and complementary tastes and textures!
4th PUMPKIN CAKE POP
C. Adam's Bakery, Milwaukee
Oh. My. Goodness!!!! A rich and almost gooey pumpkin cake core with a vanilla cream shell, this was an insanely great sweet treat from the best the Milwaukee Public Market has to offer!
5th MAPLE CINNAMON CAKE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A maple cream cheese frosting on a brown sugar cinnamon cake?!?! Sign me up every single time. Wow!! What a tender and airy dessert with incredible flavor pairings!
REALLY GOOD
6th OREO CAKE POP
C. Adam's Bakery, Milwaukee
A delightfully fudgey treat in the middle in a shell of chocolate and a dusting of Oreo crumb! Two very delightful bites from a sweets shoppe that does not miss in the Milwaukee Public Market!
7th DOUBLE FUDGE BROWNIE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
Am incredibly dense and moist chocolate brownie with chocolate chunks topped with chocolate frosting. I honestly think this would have been better without the frosting. Despite that, this was a very good brownie.
8th PEANUT BUTTER SNICKERS PIE
Sweetwater Tavern & Grille (Michigan Plaza - Chicago), Chicago
What a flavor bomb of peanut butter, with a nice crunchy cookie base. The top layer of crushed Snickers does make this a bit hard to eat/grab each bite, but definitely very tasty!
9th BEIGNETS
Café Du Monde Riverwalk, New Orleans
A very warm treat that is doughnut consistency in the shape of a biscuit, this New Orleans staple is a powdered sugar bomb ready to make a mess and be a delightful nom!
PRETTY GOOD
10th PEANUT BUTTER BALL
The Elegant Farmer, Mukwonago
This was good, but really densely sweet and overwhelming at times. I was craving a gallon of milk after eating this, and felt like a dog having to lick the roof of my mouth. Super duper sweet, perhaps too much so at times.
11th APPLE CIDER DONUT
The Elegant Farmer, Mukwonago
A pretty moist and tender donut, but the apple flavor is rather muted and the sugar coating is overwhelming and unnecessary. Good, but somewhat disappointing.
JUST OK
12th TIRAMISU
Reginelli's Pizzeria, New Orleans
A strong coffee flavor and unfortunately not much else going on here. Hints of chocolate are to be found, but this was just missing the iconic tiramisu flavor. Just a wet, slightly chocolatey, coffee flavored glob.
NOT FOR ME
13th PUMPKIN CAKE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A somewhat dull spiced pumpkin cake was absolutely overwhelmed by a vanilla cream cheese frosting that is WAYYYYYY too sweet. Nearly inedible honestly.
