A top layer of apple pie-stuffed vanilla cake is stacked atop a base of pumpkin pie-stuffed chocolate cake, with buttercream frosting holding this beauty together.

When people think of ice cream, their first thought probably isn't ''unbelievably spicy,'' but that's exactly what you get with the Cold Sweat ice cream at Sunni Sky's in Angier, N.C. Filled with habanero chiles, hot sauce and even the infamous ghost chile, it knocked Adam Gertler's socks off.

At Sugarland in Chapel Hill, N.C., the cocktails all share a special ingredient: homemade gelato. One of the most popular flavors is the Blood Orange Martini; on Kid in a Candy Store, Adam Gertler thought the silky combination of orange gelato with vodka and orange liqueur was ''incredible.''

Come time for Halloween, Adam Gertler visits Popalop's Candy Shop for the world's largest gummy bear. These gummy bears are 1,000 times larger than a regular gummy bear, but just as flavorful. For a real creepy treat, try the gummy hearts that come drizzled with raspberry- and banana-flavored veins.

Buffalo natives know to skip the heart-shaped chocolates for Valentine's Day and instead go to Watson's for the "famous 'round the world" Sponge Candy. Although Watson sells handmade chocolates, too, this spun-sugar confection drenched in milk chocolate has been the local treat since 1946.

The candies at Papabubble are not only sweet — they also have a sense of humor. The lesson here? Anything can become twisted and turned into a shape. As Adam Gertler discovered, that includes candy toothbrushes, complete with a handle and brush made of pulled sugar.

The Doughnut Plant's peanut butter and jelly doughnuts will trasport you back to childhood. The square doughnuts are glazed in fresh roasted peanut butter and filled with homemade blackberry jam.

St. Louis locals know their gooey butter cake, but at Gooey Louie, they've given this St. Louis staple a twist. Armed with a prized family recipe, Gooey Louie has recreated this cake into what Adam Gertler called "gooey greatness." For starters, try the Turtle Park cake topped with candied pecans.

At Chip's Chocolate Factory, you'll get dessert and a show. Confectioner Mike Herman flips oozing chocolate 20 feet in the air to make the famed Kansas City Fudge. The creaming process introduces air into the chocolate, ensuring each bite of fudge is fluffy and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth.
