While Yum is a destination spot for baked goods and custom cakes, they also have a market that features a variety of treasures made by local vendors. Homemade bath and kitchen products are abundant, as well as jams and jellies, funny signage, clothing, and so much more. If you're in need of a creative and unique gift for any occasion, then Yum is the place to check out. Whether I've needed goodies for my days off or stocking up for a TV marathon night (Stranger Things 4 in one shot), YUM has always had me covered. I could sit here and tell you all of my favorite desserts, but then this review would turn into a novel. I will say that I leave there with at least two scrumptious cupcakes and several bars. Their 5 (or is it 6?) layer bar is outstanding and reminds me of the ones my Mom used to make for the holidays. It's like the one from the Eagle Condensed Milk can recipe, but so much better. If you see these in the dessert case, GET IT....or get 5, like me. They have a Facebook page, where they keep you up to date on upcoming sales and events, as they have loads of different products coming in from day to day. I love that everything is made from scratch and that they're supporting our thriving local community of artists. Yum a Southern Market is well worth the trip, whether you're in the neighborhood or from out of town. A big thank you to the owners and the staff for bringing us such a special place! One important thing to mention is that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays! Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, SUPPORT your local eats and businesses, and as always...SYOY!

In addition to their own offerings, they also allow you to make your own creation by choosing the cake type and frosting flavor. Last nights choices were Red Velvet, Cookies N Cream, Chocolate Heaven, Blondest Blonde and a Churro Creation. We got Red Velvet, Chocolate Heaven and Blondest Blonde...so here's the thing - they were all good, but there was nothing special about them. Honestly could have made them at home using a box so that was a bit disappointing. Tiffylee was on the truck and was super nice and like I mentioned, fun selections so if you want something sweet and don't want to bake it, this is a perfect solution.

Right…read morenow, it doesn't seem like they are doing too much in town other than the subdivision food truck rallies and the Jax Food Truck Food Court, so I waited until they came back to the Food Court and checked them out. This was my first time getting cake/cupcakes from a dessert truck as before it's only been popsicles. Their menu gives lots of options and I'm pretty sure their most popular would be the build-your-own cupcake in a cup. Two layers of cake and two layers of frosting? Pretty cool. I didn't go for this option though as a menu item had already caught my eye, the Breakfast in a Cup cupcake: Blueberry cake with layers of maple buttercream frosting topped with bacon. Yup, I couldn't pass that up. I almost got two of that kind but I wanted something else so instead I went for the Chocolate Strawberry Bliss: Dark Chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream. Gaaaaah! These cup-cupcakes are super-duper moist! The Breakfast one tastes just like homemade blueberry waffles with syrup and the bacon is a perfect pairing! The chocolate one was divine as well but I should have stuck with two breakfast cups. You gotta try this truck!

Instantly I smelled sugar and saw fresh brownies being plated. I ordered pretzel bites and cheddar dip. This place is really what it claims to be- a snack stop. The product I received was tasty, but it was pretty expensive. Additionally, I had to wait around 5 minutes for the food even though no one was there (though he made it fresh, so that's always good). Hopefully Snac Shack sticks around- it's good food and I want to try their desserts next time. They even serve beer and wine! I would like to see the prices go down a bit though.
