Dinner without dessert is like a foreign movie without subtitles—you can digest both, but you'll probably miss out on the good parts. Fast-forward to tasty endings with today's Groupon to Bake For You on State Street. Choose between the following options:
- For $15, you get one dozen cupcakes (a $30 value).
- For $10, you get $20 worth of baked sweets.
Bake For You’s confectionery magicians mix together organic sugar and flour, free-range eggs, and creamy Vermont butter to conjure forth a daily menu of cupcakes, cookies, scones, and other decadent desserts. Made-to-order and filled with coconut and chunks of pineapple, carrot-cake cupcakes hide from prowling bunnies under thick swirls of cream-cheese icing. The oven light never sets on Earl Grey brownies ($27/dozen), which honor their queen with a crown of powdered sugar and impeccably polite chocolate flavors. Oatmeal-cranberry cookies ($18/dozen) harbor just enough bite to deter potential sweet-treat snatchers, and crispy scone sextets ($15) blend butter, cream, and flour with in-season fruits or savory cheddar and thyme.

The Groupon Guide to: Yard Decorations
While purchasing your first home is always something to be proud of, a front lawn devoid of ornaments and personal touches is essentially a vacant lot, attracting feral dogs and train-yard gamblers. Up your curb appeal with any of these acceptable front-yard decorations:
• Phalanx of plastic lawn flamingos
• Cement fountain of kangaroo spitting water into own pouch
• Actual tortoises making the rounds with drink trays
• Large silver orb for some reason
• Koi pond for attracting beautiful hawks
• Life-size fiberglass Mayor McCheese
• Sign inviting local high school honor students to become your child
• Someone’s cat—yours? I didn’t let him in
• Orange tree planted on the day Michael Jordan was born to remind future generations that oranges resemble basketballs
• Bird bidet
• Gargoyle that comes to life at sunset but doesn’t really have anything going on
• Strobe light, smoke machine, tunes
