If the name sounds vaguely familiar, it might be because the Marketplace is located in the same space that once housed Limelight, the nightclub, ... a church. At the corner of 20th and 6th.
On the first and only floor we were able to visit, there are numerous tiny boutiques of everything edible. All beautiful, all wonderful.
The MarieBelle Cart has a wonderful assortment of its signature gorgeous chocolates.
Around the corner from there are quite a few amazing bake shops.
The Little Candy Cake Company sells
"artful little solid chocolate celebration candy cake favors."
All the cakes and cupcakes at Butterfly Bakeshop
have buttercream frosting adorned by a fondant butterfly.
Beautiful AND cute.
My favorite find was Mari's Signature Treats.
I didn't look twice at the Bacon Brownie. I did, however, buy two teeny tiny brownies for 2.50/each.
After sampling one, I couldn't help it; I was totally taken by the flavor, heat.
The brownie started off with a hint of cinnamon and ended with a warm, spicy finish.
Literally, warmth pervades the mouth.

Incredible.
(I must figure out how to make them.)
The Kids' favorite find was It's Sugar. The tiny store was filled to the rim with a lot of candy
and cute merchandise. It is also where they got their

Sugar Fix!

Thanks for sharing about your trip to the Limelight Marketplace. Your photos are fantastic. The brownie blurb made me think about the spiced chocolate donut at Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco. http://www.dynamodonut.com/our_donuts.html I didn't get to try that one, but had the delicious maple glazed apple donut.
