A Mayan prophecy proclaims that in the year 2012, the earth will have finally baked long enough in the sun's rays to be deliciously caramelized and consumed. Until that distant date arrives, conquer sweet cravings with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of cakes, desserts, and more at Finales Desserts Northwest.

As Finales Desserts' owner, pastry chef Erica Bentson brings 10 years of experience to each treat in her abundant selection of artfully crafted confections. Erica's approach to baking is eclectic; from extravagant to simple, her only limit is imagination and a sneaky blue puppet with a severe sweet fetish. Delve into the fresh-baked goodness of chocolate- chip or ginger-molasses cookies ($1.50 each), moisten your mouth on lemon-lime dessert bars ($2.50 each), or leave your lame nine-to-fiver for a short romance with a tart tiramisu tart (4" for $4.25, 9" for $15).

As autumn approaches and your taste buds change like the ever-breaking bark of a prepubescent corgi, the harvest-inspired flavors can enhance the seasonal experience. Cold-weather favorites such as blood-orange cheesecake (3" for $4.75, 6" for $15, 9” for $32), pumpkin-spice layer cake with cinnamon-vanilla buttercream frosting ($4.25/slice, 6” for $24, 9” for $34), and fresh maple-apple galette ($3.75 for 4", $13 for 9") are in rotation at the boutique bakery. So, stop in and see why fresh ingredients, amazing recipes, and calf muscles like coffee cans make Finales Desserts Northwest so seductively delicious.
