Confectional

List Item: Quadruple Chocolate Cheesecake

Confectional is a shop in Pike's Place where you can get individual sized cheesecakes of different varieties. When you walk in you can smell the cakes because they cook them on site. I bought a Quadruple Chocolate and was not disappointed. The cake was so smooth and creamy, chocolaty and cheesy and just melted on the tongue. If you wanted a different texture you could peel back the wrapping and eat the crispy crust. This cheesecake was a perfect individual dessert and you can buy them in a freezer pack to take home. I would definitely recommend that you swing by Confectional every time you are at Pike's Place market and are in the mood for a truly delicious confection. Next they need to expand so you can actually sit down and enjoy your cheesecake fresh out of the case.

Top Pot Doughnuts

This will be a quick review since we just picked up a dozen doughnuts and left. The restaurant looked nice and next time I will sit and stay. When we got home I tested a piece of each doughnut and I do admit they were pretty tasty. The list item was the pink feather boa doughnut which was frosted pink with a coconut topping. This doughnut was good but not the best one in the box. The best doughnut in my opinion was the simple glazed. It was light a fluffy with a sweet glaze. I do not eat many doughnuts but I could have eaten a few of these. My biggest recommendation which is true for all baked goods in my opinion is that you should get these fresh in the morning. Even great doughnuts age poorly in a few hours so next time I go it will be nice and early to get them hot and fresh.
