Get Handmade Treats from Afters Boutique
I'm not sure what it is, but food - including cake - tastes better on sticks.
Cake is pretty great on it's own, but these cake balls from Afters Boutique take it to a new level. Each stick has two wads of soft chocolate cake coated in a thick ganache-like icing. They're little chunks of baked heaven, gooey and soft and just sweet enough.
Dana Dillard started Afters Boutique two years ago after she realized she was making candy every weekend. Sge started with candy apples and moved on to cheesecakes, chocolates and truffles (like the amazingly tasty mint bliss truffle). Everything she sells is handmade in a downtown live/work space that she shares with her boyfriend.
Much of Afters Boutique's business is custom orders. Dana can shape candy into just about anything, as evidenced by the chocolate guns, silver-painted peanut butter badges and donut-shaped cookies she created for a police appreciation party.
At the moment, Afters Boutique doesn't have a storefront of its own (they're working on it), but you can pick up the goods at Trolley Stop Market in midtown and City Market downtown.
If you'd like to score some sweets, you can order from Afters Boutique online (or, you could talk to them on Twitter).
