People love to get wild and wacky with food, especially desserts. Some eateries pride themselves on having these strange yet exciting treats, such as humongous cookies, ice cream with dozens of toppings, and cakes with one too many layers. That's why Cheapism found the wildest desserts in the country:
"U.S. bakeries, creameries, and sweets shops know how to impress — and how to take their creations over the top. From coast to coast, we found piled-high milkshakes, towering cakes, and even glow-in-the-dark cotton candy. If dessert is first on the menu and in your heart, check out these wild treats that you should eat at least once."
Two California restaurants found their desserts on the list!
The All Black ice cream cone at Los Angeles's Little Damage:
"With roots in Saigon, Los Angeles’s Little Damage soft serve ice cream shop specializes in fantastical flavors. It uses activated charcoal to create “Made for the ‘Gram” black waffle cones. That same ingredient helps create black ice cream flavors such as chocolate, horchata, and a seasonal flavor — black pudding (inspired by the English breakfast food) — for an unforgettable-looking dessert."
and the Chimney Cakes from Anaheim's House of Chimney Cakes!
"At the House of Chimney Cakes, cake is just the starting point for dessert. The cake cones are filled to the brim and topped sky-high with theatrical additions. In the Fashionista, a Cocoa Pebbles Chimney Cone is filled with Dutch-chocolate ice cream, then topped with caramel chips, chocolate Pocky sticks, large chocolate slivers, and chocolate sauce. There are locations in Anaheim, California; Arlington, Texas; and Dearborn, Michigan."
