Cool, creamy, and packed with summer flavors…that’s the M.O. for Great Lakes Chocolate & Dessert Co. when they’re putting together their Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake ($40). A classic vanilla bean cheesecake base gets a major seasonal upgrade with lemon zest and raspberry, a sweet graham cracker crust, plus fresh raspberries atop dollops of whipped cream. This yellow-and-pink treat even has a faint shimmer of edible glitter, making it almost too pretty to eat. The 8-inch cake can be pre-sliced into 12 pieces, each of which is plenty big and decadent for even the hungriest dessert lovers. Order ahead (one week in advance is recommended) by calling (231) 421-1226. See the full menu at greatlakeschocolate.co, and stop by their storefront at 819 S. Garfield Ave. in Traverse City to see what’s in the display case to go!
