One of my favorite discoveries of the year is Momofuku Milk Bar’s Cake Truffles. They are little bits of bite size heaven that melt in your mouth. My favorite flavors are Birthday Cake (Rainbow cake crumbles with Sprinkles) and Apple Pie (Cheesecake filling with Apple compote and Pie Crumbles). If your not in walking distance to one of their locations in Manhatten they are worth every penny to ship and or make excellent gifts! $3.00 for 3 pack or $16.00 for a box of 12.

February 15th, 2012 — Food, Gifts, Things I Love
Ever since Babycakes opened on Larchmont I have discovered and fallen in love with Babycakes Donuts! It’s like discovering a healthy sugary treat, which every women can appreciate! BabyCakes bakery is dedicated to creating high quality, vegan, mostly organic and gluten free confections. You can take comfort in the fact that they never use refined sugar in their baking process. Most of their desserts are sweetened with agave nectar and a low-glycemic syrup. So splurge all you want without the guilt! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

New Years: Krug Champagne
December 29th, 2011 — Food, Gifts, New Years, Party Planning
From the grape to the glass, Krug champagne is nurtured with painstaking care and attention to detail. The Krug philosophy is, first and foremost, about a passionate commitment to craftsmanship, defined by a series of uncompromising choices which, taken together, create a taste, a style, that is as legendary as it is unique. This is why I believe Krug is the only acceptable champagne to drink, especially when ringing in the New Year. So be sure to buy a few bottles for your guests or to bring one as a hostess gift. Cheers! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE
