Cake Decorating In Fort Wayne Indiana

The Fort Wayne area features no shortage of trails to explore. But as you explore all that nature has to offer in the area, don't forget about a trail of another type: the dessert trail.

Cookie Cottage

During one of my early years in Fort Wayne, I remember paging through a coupon book that came in the mail. There was a coupon for a cookie place called Cookie Cottage. As a lover of all things sweet, I decided to check this place out. And boy, were the cookies there good! They were big and soft and warm and ... my mouth is watering, just from the memories!

It turns out that Cookie Cottage started in Fort Wayne the same year I moved here: 1989. The Cottage is run by two sisters, and you may have noticed these "best cookies in town" at events you've attended. Stop in for a fresh-baked cookie or two this summer (there are over a dozen flavors to choose from).

DeBrand Fine Chocolates

Next, let's head to the Downtown DeBrand Fine Chocolates location. This Fort Wayne tradition is a perfect place for many types of desserts. You can choose individual chocolates or truffles, handmade peanut butter cups, or delectable candy bars that will beat anything you can buy at the drugstore.

Or, you can choose my favorite option: a wonderful chocolate dessert creation. Check out a current dessert menu to drool over your options. I usually opt for a DeBrand Sundae. These are huge, and provide plenty of good stuff for two to share. DeBrand Sundaes are the go-to treats I choose for the final day of school or other momentous occasions. They're also perfect for a date night or a girls' night out.

There are several local DeBrand Fine Chocolates locations, so choose the one that's most convenient to your own version of the dessert trail.

For Goodness Cakes

With a delectable cupcake from For Goodness Cakes, this bakery makes over 80 flavors, with 12 featured each month.

You'll find all your favorites, along with some unique flavors such as Puppy Chow, Green Velvet, or Champagne. One of my favorites is shown in the photo below -- Chocolate Peanut Butter. Cupcakes are hugely popular lately, and it's easy to see why: they offer a portion-controlled chance to indulge in a delicious sweet treat without overdoing it. Besides, they're cute!

There are six flavors offered Tuesday through Friday, and all 12 featured flavors are available on Saturdays. You can check their Facebook page to see the current flavors.

Rise'n Roll Doughnuts

For the next stop on our trail, let's head out to the southwest side of town for our stop next at Rise'n Roll bakery.

The doughnuts are truly addictive. My favorite time to visit is in the morning when the day's creations are fresh and warm. You can't go wrong with any variety of doughnuts, but I particularly like chocolate peanut butter. Well, and the apple fritter. Okay, and the cinnamon caramel as well. You get the idea: anything here is delicious.

You may also want to buy a box of doughnuts holes to take home so that the goodness can continue for a while longer.
