sweet treat inspo(for busy college students) 🍭✨🎀🧚♀️
as a professional sweet treat seeker, you have to have options. I must have a little sweet treat everyday otherwise the world would probably implode. with that being said these are some of my favorite sweets treats to have!
1) crumbl
actually fun fact i’m not the biggest fan of this place but when you’re in a pinch it does the trick, I also feel like it depends on their lineup I don’t get them very often but when I do it’s mini sized and they have to speak to me
2) coffee and a cake pop
perfect for study sessions when you need a little pick me up. i’m the biggest fan of starbucks cake pops 🤫
3) buttercup bake shop
they have the BEST puddings and blondie bars, also a bonus as a college student they are relatively cheap and I only spend 10$ on 2 items whenever I go.
4) Banana Pudding
only from magnolia bakery tho!! my all time favorite sweet treat 👏

Okay, fellow college students, let’s be real – balancing classes, studying, and a social life is tough, and sometimes, all you need is a little sweet pick-me-up to keep you going. I totally get it! My day just isn't complete without a treat, and being a busy student means I've had to get creative. That's why I wanted to share some of my go-to strategies for satisfying that sweet tooth and getting my daily iced coffee fix without draining my wallet or my precious study time. First off, let's talk about those quick, dorm-friendly treats. You don't always have time to run to a bakery, right? My absolute favorite hack is the mug cake. Seriously, a few simple ingredients, a microwave, and a couple of minutes are all you need for a warm, delicious chocolate chip or brownie mug cake. It feels so gourmet, but it's totally dorm-approved! Another super easy idea? Fancying up instant oatmeal or yogurt with some fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips. Or, for a no-bake option, try mixing crushed cookies (like Oreos!) with cream cheese and rolling them into little balls – instant Oreo pudding bites! When I do have a little longer or I'm out and about, I'm always on the lookout for budget-friendly bakery finds. Places like Buttercup Bake Shop are great because they offer amazing quality without the super high prices. Keep an eye out for local bakeries near your campus that might have student discounts or happy hour deals on pastries. Sometimes, a simple, fresh croissant or a delicious slice of cheesecake from a local spot can be the perfect treat. And don't forget the grocery store! You can find surprisingly great pre-made cookies, brownies, or even individual portions of banana pudding that hit the spot just right. Now, for my fellow iced coffee addicts, I know the struggle is real. Those daily coffee shop runs add up! My biggest tip for saving money and getting your fix is to become a master of making your own. Investing in a good cold brew concentrate or even just making a big batch of regular coffee and chilling it can be a game-changer. I love experimenting with different syrups (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut – you name it!) and a splash of milk or creamer to create my own custom drinks. It’s amazing how much money you save, and you can tailor it exactly to your taste, just like a barista would at a Starbucks or Blank Street! Plus, homemade iced coffee pairs perfectly with any sweet treat, whether it's a cake pop from your favorite coffee shop or one of your DIY dorm creations. It’s all about finding that balance between convenience, cost, and craving satisfaction. Happy treating!
