Took my mom, who’s in town babysitting my nephew, to afternoon tea yesterday. She loves it and while it’s not necessarily my thing, who am I to say no to half a dozen tiny little cakes??

I had the best time contributing to Condé Nast Traveler’s new package: “50 States, 50 Desserts: America’s Favorite Sweet Treats.”

I took on Iowa, and can you guess which dessert I picked?? www.cntraveler.com/story/50-sta...
50 States, 50 Desserts: America's Favorite Sweet Treats
We identified the most iconic dessert in every single state (plus DC and Puerto Rico).
