Sweet Temptations: Two Weeks of Tasty Treats

From the King Arthur Baker's Store in Norwich to Finale down in Boston back to Mirabelles in Burlington, it was two weeks of delicious delights for le boyfriend et moi.

We headed over to sleepy Hanover and bustling Boston for our anniversary weekend, meeting friends along the way (and rocking out to Rihanna during the hours spent circling Boston for a place to rest our heads. Yes, we're the spontaneous types who don't always book a hotel in advance!). Then, kept it local for Valentine's Day with treats from Mirabelle's and our own homemade confections.

Cupcake from Finale in Boston: vanilla cake with chocolate ganache frosting (lots of it!) and milk, white and dark chocolate shavings.

The array of tempting confections at Mirabelle's in Vermont. Can you choose just one dessert?
