ATTN BAKERS: Business Opportunity in Cancun

All last week, I lived in a world of decadence. Doused in sun - gorged with fine food, drinks, scenery - surrounded by wonderful people, culture, music - yet, there was still one thing missing for me:

DESSERT

Now, if you know me, you know that I cannot survive without sweets. I live on them, thrive on them - breathe in conjunction with the consumption of them. And to be honest, Cancun, Mexico...you are really lacking in the delectable after dinner department.

Sure, I had some great tiramisu gelato (at an ITALIAN restaurant, mind you), and I could pay $8.00 USD for an imported peppermint patty in any of your tiendas - but really, besides flan (which, let's be honest...isn't all that great), what have you got?!

Nothing.

Which is why - Bakers of the US - I would like to let you in on some sage business advice:

An amazing opportunity awaits you below the border. Move there - set up your wares - preferably wares that involve being able to make delectable cupcakes, cannolis and cheesecake - and open up shop. STAT.

If by this time next year you have taken my advice and are being raved about on the Mexican version of Yelp! (if that exists)...please, please, please...give me a shout out....at the very least...give me a free cookie.
