Sweet Treats

Food blogger Lesley Balla satisfies our sweet tooth by telling us where to find some of LA’s finest confections and chocolates.

For cupcakes:

She suggests the carrot and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes at Leda's Bake Shop, the dense devil's food cupcakes dipped in chocolate granache at Dainties and the flavorful vanilla cakes at Vanilla Bake Shop. Or learn how to bake your own or cater a special occasion at Gourmandise.

For chocolates and other delightful desserts:

If you’re a chocoholic, Lesley suggest the dark chocolate-coated toffee at Valerie Confections; ice cream bon bons at Milk; Love Nuts (nuts covered in buttery toffee, salt, and chocolate) at Compartes Chocolatier.
