Heart #108 goes to...Smooze Fruit Ice

Heart #108 goes to...Smooze Fruit Ice!  This 100% natural, with real fruit purees and juices, icy treat is sooo delicious.  I was at Whole Foods the other day and there was a whole display right near the register I was at.  So, I quickly jumped off the line and grabbed the first box I could without really looking to see which flavor it was.  I'm very satisfied with my choice of coconut and mango, the box is just about empty (they come 10 to a box).  There are three other flavors as well...

I just spent a few minutes looking for the receipt from Whole Foods so that I can tell you how much each box of 10 costs, but I threw it out.  I will come back and post a price as soon as I find out.  I'll probably be heading over to Whole Foods to buy a new flavor anyway. 
Let me also give you a few facts on this product:
*rich in vitamin C
*dairy free
*gluten free
*0% preservatives
*0% cholesterol
*0% trans fat
*low fat
Smooze Fruit Ices are packed on a farm located on the Equator in East Sumatra, Indonesia.
You can also buy them at Amazon by clicking this link.

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino!  I was at the mall the other day and was happy to stumble upon something new in the food court...Baby Yogurt!  This is a franchise that has made it's way from Italy, where it originated, to the US.  There is another one in Beverly Hills, CA one in Philadelphia, PA one in White Plains, NY and the girl there told me that they will be opening one in Connecticut somewhere.  This stuff is really good.  I had the chocolate with carob chips, my mother in law had coffee flavor with toasted coconut.  They have a bunch of different toppings including something that I haven't seen before.  It's called mochi and it is "Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape".  They are cut into tiny little cubes and they are soft and chewy.  I had the girl give me a sample and I like it.  Here's kind of what it looks like...



From what I read, Baby Yogurt is giving Pinkberry some competition.  Other locations around the world besides Italy are...Greece, Germany, Spain, Dubai, Japan, and Korea.

Heart #75 goes to...Mini Spring Cupcakes by Williams Sonoma

Heart #75 goes to...Mini Spring Cupcakes by Williams Sonoma!  Maybe it's the rain outside that makes me wish for pretty spring cupcakes or maybe it's the dentist appointment I have in two hours.  I always want sweets right before visiting the dentist because I know they will tell me to stay away from them. 

Here are your choices...

  • vanilla frosted with either vanilla or strawberry buttercream

  • Belgian milk chocolate with milk chocolate frosting

  • lemon with lemon-infused white chocolate frosting
You get 24, six of each flavor, for $49.95.  They are shipped frozen and require anywhere from 1-3 hours before you can enjoy them!

Heart #70 goes to...Butterfly Petits Fours by Williams Sonoma


Heart #70 goes to...Butterfly Petits Fours by Williams Sonoma!  I think my blog is beginning to look like a Williams Sonoma catalog but I love how pretty these are.  Now that Spring has sprung, it's time to blog about pretty pastel colors and butterflies!  Although the theme of my blog tends to lean towards pinks and reds anyway, two of my favorite colors.  Aren't these delicious looking?  What a nice addition they would be to a tea party.  That's one more thing I love but haven't really blogged about...teacups!  I have such a beautiful collection and I really should post some pics of my favorite teacups.
Anyway here's the Williams Sonoma description...
Perfect with dessert wine, after-dinner coffee or afternoon tea, our petits fours come in three luscious flavors – vanilla, lemon and raspberry. Eight layers tall, they’re hand made with airy vanilla sponge cake, smooth buttercream and a top layer of marzipan, all draped in silky chocolate. The vanilla flavor is further enhanced with a layer of white chocolate ganache, the lemon with lemon curd and the raspberry with all-natural raspberry jam. The finishing touch is a hand-cut marzipan butterfly. They’re prepared for us by Dragonfly Cakes in Sausalito, California. Shipped frozen. 11 oz. (12 petits fours, four of each flavor). A Williams-Sonoma exclusive. $29.95

Heart #49 goes to...Pillsbury Easy Frost No-Fuss Frosting


Heart #49 goes to...Pillsbury Easy Frost No-Fuss Frosting!  This stuff is the best.  It comes in 3 delicious flavors - Decacent Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Dream, and Velvety Cream Cheese.  It's so much easier than the tub frosting.  You just aim the five star nozzle, squeeze and frost!  No mess and you can make designs or write on a cake with it.  What I like about it is the ability to frost each individual piece of cake or cupcake fresh.  No more hardened frosting.  Click on the above link to view a video and recipe!

Heart #34 goes to...P'sof Cake Cutter

Heart #34 goes to...P'sof Cake Cutter!  This is a really unique kitchen gadget.  Simply slide it down over a piece of cake, squeeze the tongs together, lift and transfer to your plate.  No mess and very easy to use.  It comes in 5 colors and I found a link to a website selling it for $9 plus shipping.
