Move over, craft cocktails. Craft sweets are having a moment, and these are the five you need to try

FuManChu does offer 21-and-under friendly cupcakes in flavors like Salted Caramel with Bacon (buttermilk cupcake, caramel core, topped with salted caramel buttercream and bacon) and Sriracha (Sriracha cupcake topped with lemongrass frosting and peanuts), but the team’s creativity shines through in their alcoholic selection.

The alcohol is cooked out in a handful of the cupcakes (like the Lolita, which is made with a Goose Island Lolita Belgian Style Raspberry Wild Ale cupcake and topped with sour raspberry frosting and a raspberry), but is present in others.

Flavors include Tennessee Apple Pie (apple cupcake soaked in apple pie moonshine and topped with apple jam buttercream and dehydrated apples), Coco Loco (NoDa Brewing’s Coco Loco cupcake, coconut frosting and toasted coconut) and Sweet BJ (Sweet Baby Jesus Chocolate-Peanut Butter Porter cupcake with vodka-peanut butter frosting and vodka-soaked peanuts).

See the full menu here and get your hands on one online or in-store at 826 Lamar Avenue. The storefront is open Sunday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Ice Cream Flight at Golden Cow Creamery

Golden Cow is just one of the many craft ice cream joints hitting the scene recently, and with flavors like Salted Oreo, Dunkaroos, Creamy Vanilla and Rich Chocolate being made without food coloring, preservatives or artificial flavors, the scoops are well worth the $4 per that they’ll run you.

Step it up, though, and get more bang for your buck when you order a flight, which puts four mix-and-match flavors in your cup for just $5.25.

Order it at 170 West Summit Avenue on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 1 to 9 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday, 1 to 10 p.m.

Lady M Cakes at Lady M Cake Boutique

The cakes, made from layers of paper-thin mille crêpes, are well-known in New York and are the types of cakes that, while you can see them at pop up stores, you can’t touch unless you’ve ordered them in advance and paid the admittedly hard-to-swallow price for one.

But Lady M now calls what used to be The Gallery, just off of South Church Street, home. Flavors include green tea and coconut and are $8 per slice.

Get a slice at Lady M Cake Boutique at 1320 South Church Street on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 7:30 p.m.

Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches at Ninety’s

When the dessert trend finally landed in Charlotte, it decided to make University home. Now, the ice cream that’s sandwiched between two French meringue-based cookies has become one of Ninety’s best-selling items. Flavors include Froot Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Strawberry Shortcake, Peanut Butter Fudge and Cinnamon Chai and they come in two sizes, the mini ($3.50) and the monster ($5.95).

Grab one when Ninety’s reopens after renovations (they’re targeting a mid-May finish date, according to Facebook) at 9009 JM Keynes Drive.

Pumpkin Waffle at Barrington’s

No need for breakfast for dinner anymore – it’s now dessert. The unusual base comes topped with cranberry ice cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, caramel sauce and whipped cream ($10).
