Yum, yum, give me some of those delightfully delicious and wild desserts. Move over snow cone. That’s the way it crumbles, lonely cookie. It is time for the District’s outlandish desserts to shine. We’ve compiled a list of the most decadent, piled high sweets for all those youngsters with triple-decker type tastes. Don’t be surprised or disturbed by all the concoctions the DMV has to offer, we are working on this bi-partisan thing after all.
