THE BEST SWEETS WE ATE IN FEBRUARY
Polar Vortex smortex—the cold weather didn’t stop us from enjoying a bevy of frozen sweets this month. We also had fancy funnel cake, Asian-inspired cream puffs, and attacked a whole table of homemade pie. See all these and more of our favorite sweets of February in the slideshow above!

Chai Funnel Cake at North End Grill, NYC
“Pastry chef and ice cream fanatic Tracy Obolsky and I chat about ice cream pretty often on Twitter, and this month I finally got to taste her desserts first-hand, and let’s just say that sticky bun ice cream, made with real sticky buns blended right into the base, is the secret love I never knew I had. You won’t find that on her menu (yet), but you will see this funnel cake dusted with a peppery chai masala, encircled by orange caramel, and topped with a subtly tannic assam ice cream. Why aren’t fancy funnel cakes more of a thing?”—Max Falkowitz, NY Editor
