Orange Day

I'm one of those people who loves just about everything orange. Orange protein drinks, orange jewelry, orange clothes, and orange flavored foods.

One place I wanted to check out while on the island was Bennett's Fresh Roast. I found them on Trip Advisor in the Fort Meyers area a couple of years ago and started following them on Facebook. When I saw that they opened a new location on Sanibel, I knew it was a must "go-to" on out next trip. They are famous for their in house roasted coffee and fresh hand cut donuts. There were many flavors to choose from but my eye caught the Orange Crunch. It looked as good as it sounded and after one bite, I was not disappointed. If you're ever in Fort Meyers/Sanibel area, I recommend you stop in for snack.

Our friend Laurie had dinner at The Bubble Room on her last trip to Sanibel and recommended that we check it out this trip. After reading an article in one of the local flyers, we learned that they are famous for their desserts. One in particular is, that's right, you guessed it, Orange Crunch Cake. After watching the sunset, Bill and I headed over to the famous eclectic place to see what all the hoopla was about. It's a quirky little place with an enormous amount of Hollywood and Christmas memorabilia from the thirties and forties. Bill had a slice of Tropical Breeze and I had the Orange Crunch. The slices were huge and could easily be shared. Both cakes were moist and flavorful. I took more than half of mine home and well, one of us ate everything but the kiwi decoration.
