You've seen the Omnivore 100, but have you seen Cakespy's Sweet 100 http://www.cakespy.com/ ? This is a fun one to do. If you'd like, include it on your blog by following the directions in the next section.
1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!
2) Bold all of the sweets you've eaten--or make them a different type color.
3) Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat.
4) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.
4) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.
5) Optional: post a comment regarding how many you've tried or what you're going to try next! I'd love to hear from you.
I hit 83 of them (many more than once). There really isn't anything on the list that I wouldn't try at least once, but there are a few that I'd like to track down soon.
Sweet dreams!
