Delectable is a sugary palette of sweets inspired by the retro goodies of childhood. Necco wafer assortments blend with double-dip pistachio and strawberry atop a waffle cone trimmed with pastel sprinkles; cotton-candy carnival pink and root beer floats, chocolate pudding and fluffy vanilla cupcakes. These are the hues that are pleasant reminders of happy times, special occasions, and delicious treats that continue to please as we grow into adulthood. The names might have changed as the flavors have morphed into equally colorful gelatos, smoothies, and gourmet coffees, but the promise of sweet memories remain.
