The bakery is running sweet specials this weekend that feature the "favorite desserts of gay icons." The sugar-coated confections include:
Judy Garland's Milk & Cake Special ($7): served by the slice with a glass of milk. Barbra Streisand's Ice Cream ($7): coffee "ice cream" that's really "more like a semifreddo," and served with crushed pretzels. Madonna Tart ($5): a lemon tart with a raspberry-lychee salad. Elton John's Grilled Cheese ($6): a cinnamon-raisin grilled cheese with mascarpone and pears.
Cher's Parfait ($5): cannoli-cream mousse, crushed chocolate-chip cookies, and cannoli pieces.

Co-owner, Allison Robicelli promises all of the desserts, "have been well researched." She took Twitter with a sentimental stream of tweets to share why this day calls for a celebratory menu and more:
Know what I've found absolutely amazing about today? When I was a kid, I wasn't even allowed to know that Aunt Rosemarie and Aunt Marie were gay. I was told they were "roommates." And they kept up the charade for us, and they were OKAY with it. That's just how it was. They understood they were different. My mom, who's probably the most tolerant and loving person I've ever known, said she told them she was fine with it.. as long as they "didn't do anything in front of the kids". Which they saw no problem with. I never saw them kiss, or hold hands.
To people like my aunt, this doesn't even seem real. Going from having to lived underground, to total equality, in less than 20 years.

She goes on to tweet how she explained today to her kids:
Then today, I pick the kids up from the last day of school. I say "GUYS! I HAVE AMAZING NEWS!!!!" I tell them that all gay people can get married, and they look at me like I have 10 heads and say "So?"
So I tell them that there's a bunch of states where gay people weren't equal, and Toby said- and I quote- "Well that's just stupid"
