the little fat girl

This Harlem-based business is known for its fudgy and moist brownies and custom cakes, which has ended up in the hand of some who have crowned them the best damn brownies.

Stuffed cookies with a thick Southern accent were the one thing we never knew we needed with 10 delicious and unique flavors. Sweet Mae’s cookies include Oreo Red Velvet Cheesecake, Lemon White Chip, and my personal favorite, Carrot Cake. This woman-owned company is based out of Cincinnati, my family’s hometown, and therefore, this company is close to my heart.
