    There are times when you want a sweet treat without making an entire batch of cupcakes, brownies, or a whole cake or pie. If you are anything like me then having an entire cake in the home is a sure fire way to guarantee that I will eat a little bit too much dessert. I am not saying that is a bad thing, just that moderation is key.
