Restaurant Review: Small Cakes

The first time I tried Small Cakes Cupcakery was in Thomasville, GA a few years ago. Now there are two Tallahassee locations and they're just as good as the first time I had it. They prepare some of the mostest cupcakes I've been able to find around town. Their fudge frosting found on their chocolate cream (made to resemble the Hostess Cup Cake's bigger and better sibling) is amazingly rich and smooth. We tried the Blue Moon cupcake with the orange on top and found it was light and refreshing. I haven't been disappointed yet, which is saying a lot for a dessert diner like me!

Restaurant Review: Olean's Cafe

We ventured over to the south side of town just across the street from the main FAMU entrance sign to discover this awesome hole in the wall. This place is quite the experience. There's no parking and you can expect to find a pretty decent line wrapped around the interior of the dining area, but that's for a reason. It's the kind of place where you'll find family photos on the walls and most placed orders are followed by "You want butter on that?" I've heard wonderful things about the Olean's omelet and the Obama breakfast but there wasn't a chance that I was leaving without trying their fried chicken. Chicken 'n waffles it is! Fresh made to order waffles paired with perfectly crispy breaded salty wings made the perfect breakfast.
