This week, it's all about sweets with a new Santa Monica bakeshop and a little taste of fro-yo heaven.

There's a new cupcake guru in town. Vanilla Bakeshop has finally opened its doors in Santa Monica, offering its self-indulgent customers some of the best selections of sweets including unique icebox desserts made fresh daily in a mason jar. Whether it's for a party or that one-on-one snack, they've got it covered... with frosting and more!

Frozen yogurt is a heavy word in Los Angeles. Since Pinkberry took over the market, we've been seeing fro-yo joints popping up everywhere. But don't worry! We're here to help you weed out the good from the bad. Great: Red Mango in Westwood. Already established as the #1 nonfat and natural fro-yo in Korea, it's now taking over the US and is sure to give Pinkberry a run for its money.
