W H E R E T O S AT I S F Y YO U R S W E E T T O O T H By Chandler Baird dockside resturant 115 S 2nd St, Coeur d’Alene, ID // 208.765.4000 D ockside Restaurant at Coeur d’Alene Resort sells one of the most infamous desserts in the area. It is called a “Gooey”. The Gooeys come in various flavors with special seasonal cre- ations, but they always include a ton of ice cream and they are big enough for the whole family. I tried their huckleberry goo- ey, which came with cake batter ice cream; chunks of brownies and blondies; strawberry, hot fudge and huckleberry sauces; huckleberry white chocolate bark; chopped nuts and a jumbo chocolate-dipped strawberry on top. Let’s just say we waddled out of there and will be hiking all around Coeur d’Alene to work this treat off! Celebrations bakery 713 W. Garland Ave, Spokane, WA // 509.327.3471 E ach city has a bakery like this that you look and look for, and once you find it, you don’t want to tell others because it seems like such a hidden gem. I stumbled upon this cute bakery as I was walking around the Garland area. I mean…when I see a pink striped bakery, I’m going inside. They have a huge assortment of sweets: cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, gourmet desserts, cinnamon rolls, etc. They make everything fresh and put it right out in the dis- play case. The birthday cake-pop was SO moist and delicious. I will never be able to understand how they get the candy coating to look so perfect. God bless the creator of cake balls. Next time you are in the Garland area, stop by Celebrations Bakery and try one of their fresh baked goods. They are worth the calories. November | December 2017 59
