This is friggin' SWEET!
Ok, so you've completed the Omnivore's Hundred, right? And you've seen or completed the Vegan's Hundred, too?
OK, so Cakespy developed a Sweet 100 which is by far infinitely cooler than any other 100 list out there. I mean, it's sweets?!
There are links to most everything on the list, just in case one or two are completely foreign to you.
If you'd like, feel free to follow the same guidelines:

Nice list, banging out 71 is no small task, I'm surprised at some of your picks :) I like lists like this though, it gives you some goals to work on... how hard is it to go "All right, if I HAVE to that cannoli, well I willlll"
ReplyDeleteOk I might actually do this one even though I still haven't heard of most of this stuff but I love anything with sugar in it so perhaps it will give me a reason to try some new items.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you got against scones and clotted cream? Yum! And bubble tea is an acquired taste, but worth a go just once!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to say I would definitely not have done as well as you. But you are missing scones and clotted cream, which are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun! I definitely wouldn't have done as well as you.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum. Saw your site mentioned on Teresa's Mexican Border Cooking and thought I'd take a list. So glad I did. I did the Omnivore 100 list, but this is much more delicious! Will visit again.
ReplyDeleteCant wait until youmake Rugelah! IO made it once and it was delish. To bad about the allergies, but better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteCool. I missed this one. Glad you posted it here!
