Chocolate-fiends: This grasshopper julep could be your chocolate signature cocktail
Hey, chocolate lovers: are you in need of a really good chocolate signature cocktail, or even an idea for a unity cocktail? This grasshopper julep might be your new favorite drink.

14 reasons to get NAKED: an homage to the fabulous naked cake
I remember seeing Chaitra and Ryan’s immaculate floral naked cake back in 2013 and thinking, “Oh shit, this is going to be a thing and I’m going to love it.” Naked cakes have been fluctuating in popularity for a long time, especially in the UK and now over here in the US, and we are still loving them.
