Gobs of Skull Cakes

One of my favorite blogs, Cake Wrecks, did a post last week called The Undead Wed that featured a bunch of amazing skull wedding cakes. This sent me off on a frenzy of searching for more skull cakes, wedding, birthday or otherwise. From now on I only want skull cakes for my birthday and most definitely a skull wedding cake. In no particular order...

Bacon Rice Krispies Treats

Mr. Dave from the Ridiculous Food Society has gone and done it again! He's taken a scrumptious treat right out of my daydreams and made it a reality.

Bacon Rice Krispies Treats is something even I could not screw up. I wonder how this would taste with some chocolate chips thrown into the mix? Anyway, go to Mr. Dave's blog for the step-by-step instructions on how to make some for yourself.

DessertTruck

I'm not sure why it took me so long to hear about the heaven on wheels they call the DessertTruck. Only a few short blocks away from my office, this mobile food truck brings fine-dining restaurant style desserts to the streets of New York for only $5.00. I heard about DessertTruck just a few days ago and tonight I stumbled into it on an after dinner walk with a friend. Having read about their Chocolate Bread Pudding topped with bacon crème anglaise, I had to get some.

It was divine. I'm not a fan of traditional bread pudding, but this delicacy tasted more like a warm, rich and gooey chocolate pudding cake. The bacon crème anglaise doesn't have a very strong bacon flavor at all but the hint of the smokiness is in there and it's works so well with the chocolate bread pudding.

I definitely want to go back there as they have some other tasty sounding desserts on their menu, which changes every so often. On my list to try are:

• Milk Chocolate Mousse with a peanut butter cream center topped with caramel popcorn
  
• Goat Cheese Cheesecake topped with fresh blackberries, rosemary caramel, and a pistachio crisp
  
• Coconut Tapioca with cilantro pearls, pineapple, and mojito granita
  
• Molten Chocolate Cake with liquid ganache center, a hint of olive oil and topped with sea-salt and roasted pistachios

Yum.

Their current menu is on their website - http://www.desserttruck.com/. If you're in NYC, you can find the DessertTruck on the corner of St Marks Place (8th St) and 3rd Ave, NYC.
