When the doorbell rings, the nicest surprise that could be on the other side is a delivery from Dessert Alert! (www.dessertalert.com).
We were recent recipients of lemon bars from this Valencia, CA-based company (28415 Industry Drive, Sutie 512, Valencia, 661-753-9269) and just opening the gorgeous bow-studded striped box was a delicious adventure. And then to find individual boxes of one of their signature dessert offerings inside was like discovering buried treasure.
Dessert Alert lemon bars are a heavenly combination of just enough lemony tartness to make your tongue pucker, balanced by the sweetness of enough sugar to make your mouth sing!
Founder Jill Jackson offers a full repertoire of desserts with a gourmet touch, including brownies, cookies and sconettes, Jill's reinvention of the traditional scone. Send a holiday delivery to all the sweet tooths on your Christmas list and be sure to include yourself!
Garfield was right - "Life is uncertain, eat dessert first!" And be sure the dessert is one delivered by Dessert Alert!
