With delicious rows of sweets and a chilled cabinet of chocolates to greet you when you first enter, Sweet Temptations is a temptation indeed!
While I have to admit it was a bit intimidating to have a large man greet me upon entry and ask to help (suddenly I felt short and small), it was the most fabulous experience. Rows upon rows of coloured sweet confectionary gently drew me in towards a chocolate counter where I spotted some coffee truffles which I, of course, had to free from their confinements (into my tummy later on).
The large, friendly jars of sweets of every imaginable kind from jawbreakers to sugar mice to fudge to UFOs draw you to the back where a treasure chest can be filled for parties and smashed as a pinata. In addition, there are baskets and hampers of sweets.
Last but not least are the cones of sweets everywhere. If I was a parent, I would shudder in fear of the carnage and global destruction my kids would wreak if they were let loose in here but I'm not. So I can take my sister's kids in here, buy them treats and, carefully and with a hazmat suit on, hand them back (before detonation).
:-D
While small, this place has tons of sugary treats cramming it to the gills. Well worth the trip away from the Orchard Center in to town. read more
