Sugar Week Top Ten Tuesday
I've been mulling over what the best Top Ten Tuesday topic for Sugar Week would be, and the obvious one, best restaurant desserts, I did in May.
My husband suggested best sweets for eating while you walk around and top ten restaurant foods you wish didn't contain sugar (for me, that's vinaigrette), but the one seems too specialized and the other too negative for Sugar Week's main list.
Right now I'm leaning toward Top Ten Places to Go for Dessert and Coffee or Top Ten Bakeries for Sweets. Any votes for one or the other? I'll probably touch on all these topics during Sugar Week, which starts Sunday.
Other highlights of Sugar Week:
* Obviously, the video of Amanda making arguably the greatest dessert of all time, Black Bottom Pie, is the big one. I'm hoping to get that up and running Monday. It may be all downhill from there. (Just kidding. Read on.)
* Top Ten Tuesday
* Doughnut Wednesday
* I need to come up with a Deep Thought for Thursday about sugar, but frankly I'm not sure there is one. (Chocolate rules?)
* We also need to talk about the area's great chocolatiers, why Maida Heatter is a goddess, best ice cream and gelato places in town, and anything else you're interested in.
Your wish is my command.

Do the best places to go for dessert. Cast a wider net. It could include a bakery, you never know.

I'm for bakeries, probably because I live near three good ones--Edelweiss, Fenwick, and Woodlea. Any chance of avoiding chains?

Re: John's comment, places to go for dessert includes more than just restaurants, so it could be a different list. But bakeries would be good, too. I am also interested to hear about those chocolatiers, doughnuts and ice cream shops.
Maybe something on how to be a thrifty sweet tooth in Baltimore? or a healthy (or at least healthier..) one?

I am not a baker and so I am really interested in the Ten Best Take Out Desserts to Take to a Party. Getting tired of Vacarro's Rum Cake though everyone loves it and the price is right.

Atwater's Lemon Buttermilk Tart is my favorite take out dessert. And their pecan tart is a very close second. Their cookies and scones are really yummy, too.
