Donna Billman started her company in 1993; being a single mom, she was just looking for extra income. She started by selling her cookie dough to friends, and word quickly spread about how wonderful it was. Now Donna B’s is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
It’s hard to choose only one cookie from Donna B’s; they are all amazing. Flavors include maple bacon, oatmeal toffee, shortbread and Reese’s tiramisu, but the best cookie, in my opinion, would have to be Donna’s Decadent. This cookie isn’t just any chocolate chip cookie – it’s crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, moist, and oh so chocolaty. It includes chocolate and butterscotch chips, walnuts and coconut. It’s chocolate chip cookie perfection with a coconut, butterscotch twist. Decadent it is, indeed!
Best ICE CREAM:
23730 El Toro Road, Lake Forest

Brü Grill & Market offers a changing variety of fresh-made gelato and sorbet flavors. From the classic chocolate and vanilla to fun seasonal flavors like peppermint, Brü is sure to have a flavor you’ll fall in love with.
My choice is Brü’s bourbon gelato. It is just so different. It’s creamy and smooth and has a wonderful, unique flavor of sweet bourbon. I’ve yet to find anything quite like it.
All gelatos can be ordered individually, but Brü primarily is a full-service restaurant. Call ahead or order to-go to skip the fuss. Or give in and try the flourless whiskey Brü Cake, which has gelato on the side.
Best CUPCAKE:
