There's nothing like a surprising and unexpected dessert to bring out the kid in you. Kelsey visits Tonnie of Tonnie's Minis in Harlem, to unearth the secret to his cupcake surprise — a custom cupcake bar; where any combination of cake and frosting goes. Nothing is off limits! Inspired, Kelsey heads back home to get started on a couple of unexpected desserts of her own: A fabulous Ice Cream Birthday Cake, a dry ice Root Beer Float, and Carrot Cookies With Orange Buttercream Frosting.
A celebration of the top-notch flavors, Sandra Lee makes her Heavenly Chicken, a twist on the delicious duck she had at Alize on the top floor of Palms Casino.

For Cocktail Time, it's a visit to a bar made totally out of ice for a dessert drink: the Frozen Elvis, which Sandra Lee remakes into the We Miss You Elvis.
