    #18: Popsicle from Raleigh Popsicle Co.

    Well it was bound to happen eventually: we cheated just a little bit on this one. It was a popsicle, and it was local. But it wasn’t grape. I mean, who wants a grape popsicle? No one. And that’s what no one makes them except whatever that brand is you buy at the grocery when…

    #17 Rainbow Lollipop from Latella Gelato, Carolina Beach, NC

    During the Carolina Beach, NC trip, where we picked up some salt water taffy, we also went to get some gelato. Staring right at us was the rainbow lollipop. It probably wasn’t as big as we thought it would be but we’ll count it. The gelato was good too.

    #13 Sweet Roll from Paul and Jack

    We’d been following this bakery, Paul and Jack, for a few months as part of the Lemon Cake Challenge and finally we made the detour up to Wake Forest to check them out. Side note, their Instagram looks delicious. Tucked in a small shopping center, the looks were ok but that doesn’t matter much as…
