A Friday fundraiser at Friendship Heights' popular cupcake shop, Frosting Bakeshop and Coffee Bar, raised $537.08 to help a little girl fight leukemia, according to Frosting's Facebook page.

Dessert isn't always about treating yourself. This month, two Friendship Heights businesses—Rosa Mexicano and Frosting Bakeshop and Coffee Bar—offer sweet treats for a good cause. *** Throughout August, Rosa Mexicano (5225 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington, DC) offers a special dessert to raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. The "Gelatina de Limonada" (i.e., lemonade Jell-O) combines horchata lemonade "Jell-O" and Meyer lemon-basil marmalade with raspberry-rose granita for "a sweet and refreshing flan-like treat" that "tastes like a creamy raspberry lemonade,” according to the restaurant.
