When we were kids, we lived for our desserts. We grimaced through the broccoli and asparagus to get to the promised land at the end of the meal - that mountainous bowl of ice cream or ginormous piece of cake. Our desire for sweets remains insatiable, a fact the editors at Food Network Magazine are all too aware. They combed the country for ten of America's best sweets locations. From superlative soufflés and donuts to die for, innovative ice creams and chunky, fruity strawberry shakes.... It's the ten that'll make you go road trippin' for America's best.
