Sweet Tooth Bakery, located along Mercer Street, offers an assortment of homemade baked goods, specialty desserts and custom cakes, along with a breakfast and lunch menu that gives customers plenty of reasons to stop by before dessert.
The locally owned bakery features everything from classic chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon rolls to more creative confections, including Fruity Pebbles cookies, banana pudding bars, coconut macaroons and strawberry crunch cheesecake on a stick. Seasonal offerings and specialty treats keep the selection changing.
For my visit, I picked up a little bit of everything, starting with a West Virginia staple: a pepperoni roll. The savory baked good provided a contrast to the assortment of sweets that followed.
The cornflake cluster offered a nostalgic take on a no-bake dessert, combining crunchy cereal with a sweet coating for a treat that’s all about texture.
The Rice Krispie treat was another familiar favorite, built around the classic combination of crispy rice cereal and marshmallow.
Finally, a dessert bar that I cannot recall the details, but do recall I enjoyed it. The one potential opportunity here is to maybe make fewer varities of desserts so they each remain fresh. I recognize that's a tough balance, because folks - me included! - enjot variety.
