Dolcetti Gelato: Delish! Thanks to my sister Anne & her friend Lisa for a fun time! By the way, what's with the tiny spoons at Gelato shops? Lisa, Anne & I have decided that it's so you eat less more slowly, so it takes longer, so you don't realize that you didn't get that much to begin with, so they can charge you oodles of money for tiny amounts of gelato.
Cutler's Cookie Dough: I found this little tub of dough in The Store. These cookies RULED.
Dunford's Donuts: What's a trip to Utah without a Dunford chocolate cake donut? A sad one indeed. I got mine at Dan's grocery store once again, but next time I'm going to really try to get out to the Dunford Bakery. I think these could be the best donuts in the UNIVERSE. Okay, that's a little over the top, sorry.
Smart Cookie: This a cute little shop in Provo where you make your own ice cream sandwiches. They were very yummy. Provo sure does have a lot of yummy treats...I guess that's what you get when nobody drinks, eh?
Pudding on the Rice: We tried 6 different flavors at this cute little place. Toffee was everyone's favorite. So good.
Provo Bakery: I'm not going to confess how many things I ate at this place. It's embarrassing. If you haven't been and you're ever in the hood, the orange rolls...ah, the orange rolls.

Okay, now I'm really wishing I wasn't so far from Provo. Wow, what good eats!
those little spoons are just how they do it in Italy... hannah has a hard time throwing hers away each time...
smart cookie. SO YUMMY. the weird couple we saw in the huge bean bag chair making out in the corner didn't detract from the taste at all. no joke. it really happened.
Next time you are in town you have to go to Backerei and Eise Bakery at Zermatt Resort & Spa in Midway. You can see them make the French Pastries! They are incredible melt in your mouth amzaingly beautiful pastries. Just stopped there last night on my way up the canyon.
I can't believe we didn't think about the fact that I would become a gelato GURU after starting my internship at Ciao Bella Gelato!!
Anyways, so here's why gelato is more expensive...When ice cream is made and they churn it, it churns tons of air into the cream which helps give it the texture it has. Unlike ice cream, gelato isn't like that which is WHY the texture is so dense. So really, you're not getting less. ALSO ice cream has more butterfat. Butterfat coats your taste buds and mouth as you eat it and doesn't allow you to taste it as well. So, you have to eat more to get the same sensation (that may be a quote from my boss). Gelato, on the other hand, has less butterfat and and more powerful taste which is why it's tastes so freaking good and why we spend so much money eating it.
I still have too ask about the spoons...
PS...check out the site, ciaobellagelato.com...this stuff gets A+ by everyone I talk to.
Now, that was just mean....I love vacations. I usually let myself go at amusement parks, the only time I let myself have funnel cake.
Sandra Cutler is my great aunt - mother of Cutler's Cookie Dough. Every summer in Utah we would make frequent stops to cutler's cookies - good sandwiches, but great cookies! I'll have to tell her she was featured on your blog!
anne...one day on the job at a gelato company and you are a gelato genius. :)
mollie - SMALL WORLD!!!! :)
chefchristine - I will definitely try backerei & eise...sounds great!
Okay, I'm moving to Provo...if only for the treats!
You've written about so many places that I miss–Rich's, Pudding on the Rice, Smart Cookie, The Store–I'm so jealous! It's making me VERY excited to go to Utah in a couple of months!!
