Every time my friend Rhonda and I hang out we always have amazing adventures. Today was no exception. Rhonda introduced me to her very cool friend who has a gorgeous pond full of turtles. Now everyone
who knows me, knows I am a sucker for turtles, especially Red-Eared Sliders. Yes, the ones your mom told you not to touch because you'll get salmonella. With the recent death of one of my red eareds (Harriet Nelson), my lone survivor (Ozzie Nelson)
was feeling a bit blue. Rhonda promised me that at 3:00 we could visit her friend so that I could get Harriet's replacement. Until the magic time rolled around we satisfied ourselves with lunch and bakerd goods. Sweet E's Bake Shop was our choice today
because as they say, "life should be sweet!" If you find yourself on 3rd Street in the Beverly Grove area make sure to drop by. I can honestly say I am so jealous that I don't own this store. It is exactly what my dream bakery would look like. The staff
was friendly and helpful and the thought and creativity put into the display and decor is beyond adorable! We bought cookies today and not only were they huge, they were fantastic! The Stuffed Cookies that we tried today were Rolo and Twix ($3) and the
Classic Chocolate Chip ($2.50). All cookies are made with fresh, high quality ingredients and are buttery and chewy! We shared some with friends and everyone procalimed them, "out of this world!" I was most impressed with the special occasion cookies
shaped like wedding gowns and the way they were so beautifully wrapped. Cupcakes ($3.25), Mini Cupcakes ($1.75), and Cupcake Push Pops ($4) are available in red velvet, vanilla,
vanilla chocolate chip cookie dough, strawberries and cream, and about 25 other exciting flavors! I can't say enough about this bakery! I love it! They also make mason jar sweets ($4.50), chocolate dipped treats like strawberries, Oreos, and pretzels ($1-$3.50)
and even dog treats! I'm going to eat the remains of my Rolo cookie right now and play with my new turtle(s). I got three. Sshhh! don't tell anyone. Sweet E's Bake Shop 8215 W. 3rd Street Los Angeles (323) 422-8885 M-Sun: 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.
