I came across this list, “The Sweet 100” from the Cakespy website. So like many of the other Top 100 lists I’ve written about (Omivore’s Hundred, American’s Hundred, Chinese Food Hundred), I was excited when I saw this one. Especially because this topic is interesting—and fun—to me! Imagine my disappointment as I began scanning down the list, and I realized, I haven’t tried most of these items! I haven't even heard of many of them.
I’ve only eaten 41 of the items. Which means I’ve got a whopping 59 things to try. Such a bad showing. But see? I’m really not the dessert crazed person some people think I am! But hey, it certainly gives me something to strive for!
On another quick note—I absolutely adore the Cakespy website. The graphics are awesome, and so cute! Check it out.
