Dear World, In September, I visited Ohio to attend Nine Inch Nails? ?Fan Day? at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland ?... and then catch the band's subsequent concert near Akron, where I was staying. Just before leaving Akron for Cleveland, I sawSweet Mary?s Bakery across the street. I knew the best way to say ?thank you? to the band and staff for staging such an awesomeevent was by providing quality baked goods. Every true NIN fan is aware of two things: 1) When Trent Reznor sings ?I wanna feelyou from the inside,? he?s speaking to, and about, a chocolate chip cookie, and 2) Trent really, really loves rainbows.

I WANT A TASTE OF IT!? anotherNIN/cookie fan yelled, unable to control himself. ?BITE! CHEW!? Though I was a little afraid this man might bite the hand thatfed him, I outstretched my arm and offered the box anyway; he politely took a treat, ate it, and smiled. ?Now doesn?t that makeyou feel better?? I asked. He nodded and said he could finally sleep soundly ? that everything wa Read more

The cookies are amazing! So are the scones, and the brownies, and cake. The homemade flavored cream cheese is amazing. The... cheddar biscuit is like a bigger better version of Red lobster. Just so good. Read more
