I was invited to a dinner party and The Cheesecake Lady, came to my rescue. When I was invited, I…read moreasked if I could bring anything. The hostess immediately said, "Nothing, just bring yourself." Then she corrected herself and said, "If wanted to, I could bring a dessert." I was out running errands and was near Wood River, so I immediately thought of my favorite dessert lady. I went having the intention of buying a whole New York Cheesecake, or a variety of slices. Once I got to her little cheesecake boutique, I saw she had a Box of Bites. It was absolutely perfect. It contained 12 little bite size squares of 4 different cheesecakes. My hostess served a very refreshing and delicious Shrimp Risotto, but the Cheesecakes were the hit of the party. Many of the guest had not heard of, The Cheesecake Lady, so I introduced them to a new locally and woman owned business. Yipe!

Professional and courteous. I just wish they had more of a selection. I went in with 4 particular…read morecheesecakes in mind for my birthday and they didn't have any of them. So we are trying to go back again today. I do have a recommendation to start offering homemade fudge since they have so many other baked sweet treats and candy's besides cheesecake now! But otherwise I don't go anywhere else!

They handled each customer with care. They didn't rush me. I know i took too long to decide. After finishing my order I kept adding to it. I had to hurry and leave tge building before I added even more to the order. I ended up with 4 delicious cupcakes and a gooey butter cake. Everything was so good. The gold rush was the last cake that I purchased. I had completed my order. But got back in line to get it. 2 ladies told me that I can go ahead of them. I told them I already ordered and I'm ordering again. I initially got 3 vanilla butter cream cupcakes. Then I saw the gooey butter cake. I asked the young lady to add that too.. My coworkers placed their orders. Their desserts are kind of pricey. At least they are on my opinion. But they are very good. Of course there's parking out front.

Yesterday, Sophia my little fur-baby had a vet appointment that was just a block away. Being a good dog dad, I made sure she arrived early. In fact, we were so early I had time to kill so I made a stop at, The Cup. To my delightful surprise, they had a special on two of my favorite flavors and they were combined into one cupcake. I love lemon & raspberry. The cupcake was called, Spring Fling. It was a lemon cake, with Raspberry cream cheese frosting and a raspberry filling. The cake was moist and soft. Most importantly, the frosting was not overly sweet and did not overly dominant the cake. It was just the perfect amount of topping. The lady working the counter was attentive and made friendly conversation. I was glad to see that they are part of the, Gift-A-Meal program and that they offered Student Discounts to those who attend SIUE. That's community supporting community.

I already know that I will be going back to try more of their sweet treats. As stated, I was out celebrating National Vanilla Milkshake Day. My milkshake was made from scratch. It was creamy, thick and had a rich vanilla flavor. It truly was a good old-fashioned milkshake, like those you'd see in the movie, Grease and on Happy Days. There is just something about a milkshake made by hand and not from a machine. There's several picnic type tables in front to sit and enjoy your treat. Plus, parking is not an issue with a parking lot and street parking. That Good is a small mom and pop business, so the customer service is warm and personable. It's also black owned. So, if you are craving ice cream as a sweet treat, go check out That Good.

I can say in my humble opinion that Shiver's is the better custard. Living nearby, I have finally learned that you don't have to be a kid to order the kiddie size. By ordering the kiddie, I can save calories and perhaps be able to stop by twice during the week instead of limiting myself to one treat. I think Kiddie Size can also be called a, Senior Size. As we age, our appetites are like they use to be. Last night I couldn't pass by when I saw the FOTD (Flavor of the Day) was, Gooey Pecan Pie. I'm really not a Gooey person, but Pecan Pie is my favorite pie, so I couldn't resist. I ordered a Kiddie Concrete. It was rich in flavor and had large pieces of Pecan. I even had full sized pecans in my cup covered in the Gooey sauce. It was the perfect sweet treat to end the day. As a reminder, Shivers is also a coffee shop in the early mornings. So you can also get your caffeine fix, too. I also gotta tell you that they're dog friendly and offer free Pup Cups. Dog must be present to receive the Pup Cup. No To-Go orders for the pups.
