The sucrose stylists at Sweet Creations bake a bevy of hand-held and decadent sweet treats as well as specialty cakes in a menagerie of flavors and fillings. Give sweet teeth something to brag about at the dental arcade with a sampling of small and large cupcakes ($1.25; $1.75), brownies ($1.95), or plates of half-dozen cookies ($4). Ice-cream-enriched treats are readily available, including brownies à la mode ($3.95) and sundaes ($4.95), and specialty cakes ($40+) come blanketed with house-made buttercream icing or marshmallow fondant and adorned with soccer balls, fire trucks, and still-life scenes from the Constitutional Congress.

For budding sweet bakers, Sweet Creations' 90-minute decorating parties teach up to 10 children how to ice cookies and cakes with a star and round tip. Children will spend 45 minutes adorning their edible canvases with a series of zigzags, polka dots, or Nordic runes, then spend 45 minutes enjoying cake, ice cream, and birthday presents.
