The Samoa cake from Cake Bake Shop
Cake Bake Shop (6515 Carrollton Ave., 317-257-2253) recreated the flavors of our favorite Girl Scout cookie with its indulgent Samoa cake: six layers of moist caramel cake filled with Callebaut Belgian chocolate ganache, toasted coconut, caramel, and shortbread butter cookies.
Bru Burger’s Stilton Bleu Cheese Burger from ClusterTruck
