Pure Bliss Desserts has sugar, spice, all things nice


The area near Cornwall Avenue and E. Champion Street is quickly becoming a mecca for sweets and treats. Pure Bliss Desserts opened Oct. 26 at 1424 Cornwall Ave., in the 1,600-square-foot space right next door to Chocolate Necessities' retail outlet.


Pure Bliss Desserts is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday."I just wanted it to be round and swirly and fun because that's what a dessert shop should be," Andi said, wearing an apron that seemed to match the store."We also used to drink in another pub in Hollinwood, Oldham, called Help The Poor Struggler, where the landlord was Albert Pierrepoint, the hangman."FOR MORE INFO CIRCLE #34Pure Bliss DessertsSeveral people contacted me after I wrote about all the aids to beauty there are these days.

She will continue to offer catering and special orders and has a dedicated corner in the shop for consultations.WAC Lighting unveiled its LEDme Quick Connect socket sets that transform glass-pendant designs from the company's 500 Series into LED fixtures.
