Jessie,
CONGRATULATIONS! That is absolutely fantastic news--you must be thrilled (and I am envious!!). What an exciting new start.
Okay, the poll--must try again for one of your amazing (non-edible) creations:
In the Morning: Scones or muffins?--I'm a scone kinda gal (but only the slightly sweet kind), best with almond butter and/or jam
Carrot Cake: With or without pineapple?--I say go for the whole package--pineapple adds fibre, tartness and great flavor
Neapolitan Roulette: Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla?--is there any doubt? CHOCOLATE, of course!
Mambo Italiano: Gelato or Panna Cotta?--I'd go gelato, in a nice fruity flavor.
Cookies: Soft and gooey or crisp and crunchy? Again, no contest: soft and gooey. Mmm. Getting hungry!
Fancy Restaurant Desserts: Tiramisu or Crème brûlée? I'd lean toward tiramisu, though neither really excites me too much!
Cupcakes: Vanilla or Chocolate? Again, chocolate, only chocolate.
Apple Pie with Cheese: Delicious or disgusting? Gross, man!
Strawberry Shortcake: Biscuit-style or Sponge Cake Style?--biscuit is my baby (so much more like a scone that way)
Ultimate Faceoff: Pie or cake? Cake, of course--preferably chocolate, multi-layered with a rich frosting and lots of caramel :)
In the Morning: Scones or muffins?
You know, I honestly don't think I've ever had a scone! I do love me some muffins though. Yummy!
Carrot Cake: With or without pineapple? Isn't carrot cake supposed to be made with carrots? That's how I like it!
Neapolitan Roulette: Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla? No idea what roulette is, but i love strawberry, chocolate and vanilla!
Mambo Italiano: Gelato or Panna Cotta? Gelato is so good!
Cookies: Soft and gooey or crisp and crunchy? I like them both ways actually. I really like soft & gooey when there's ice cream to serve with!
Fancy Restaurant Desserts: Tiramisu or Crème brûlée? both are delish, but i really like a good tiramisu.
Cupcakes: Vanilla or Chocolate? vanilla
Apple Pie with Cheese: Delicious or disgusting? cheese? huh?
Strawberry Shortcake: Biscuit-style or Sponge Cake Style? sponge cake baby!

I hope I win! I bought some of your buttons in Ballard last weekend and just love them. =)
My fave donut/doughnut - Apple Fritters...maybe because they look like big ol' bumpy, syrupy cookies!
In the Morning: muffins. Scones are too, well, European.
Carrot Cake: Without pineapple. Hold the Walnuts, too.
Neapolitan Roulette: Strawberry, Vanilla then chocolate.
Mambo Italiano: Gelato. Per Tutti.
Cookies: Soft/gooey AND crisp/crunchy? Come on...it's like choosing your favorite "kid." You just can't.
Fancy Restaurant Desserts: Crème brûlée with some sort of sculpted sugar event cascading over the top.
Cupcakes: Red Velvet :-)
Apple Pie with Cheese: Tres New England.
Strawberry Shortcake: Spongy, baby. Spongy.
Ultimate Faceoff: How'bout a happy medium.....cookies? ;-)
In the Morning: Scones or muffins? Surely neither - aren't we all on muesli and fruit? Ha ha ha. Muffins, as an English scone comes with cream and jam which is a bit much even for me in the early hours
Carrot Cake: With or without pineapple? Without - anyone who needs an explanation is insane!!!!
Neapolitan Roulette: Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla? The answer is always vanilla, regardless of the question
Mambo Italiano: Gelato or Panna Cotta? Gelato I think, panna cotta is a bit like eating slime, albeit nice slime
Cookies: Soft and gooey or crisp and crunchy? Crisp - it has to withstand dunking in tea
Fancy Restaurant Desserts: Tiramisu or Crème brûlée? Controversial maybe but neither - there are better uses of calories. If I had to though, creme brulee.
Cupcakes: Vanilla or Chocolate? Vanilla. The answer is always vanilla
Apple Pie with Cheese: Delicious or disgusting? Not only disgusting but also wrong on so many levels.
Strawberry Shortcake: Biscuit-style or Sponge Cake Style? Sponge. Sponge beats all!
Ultimate Faceoff: Pie or cake? Trick question???? Of course it's cake! I don't see a site called "Piespy" - do you?
In the Morning: Scones or muffins? Scones - but I rarely eat them as they're too heavy in the morning. My mom's oat muffins were a childhood favourite, and not just in the morning.
Carrot Cake: With or without pineapple? Eww, without!
Neapolitan Roulette: Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla? Hmm, I suppose vanilla.
Mambo Italiano: Gelato or Panna Cotta? Gelato.
Cookies: Soft and gooey or crisp and crunchy? Hard as both have their place, but as I used to adore ginger snaps I'll go crisp and crunchy.
Fancy Restaurant Desserts: Tiramisu or Crème brûlée? Neither? Too heavy for me, I usually like sorbet or fruit based desserts.
Cupcakes: Vanilla or Chocolate? Vanilla. I adore chocolate, but not chocolate flavoured things as it dilutes the chocolatey-ness.
Apple Pie with Cheese: Delicious or disgusting? Disgusting!
Strawberry Shortcake: Biscuit-style or Sponge Cake Style? Sponge cake, of course.
Ultimate Faceoff: Pie or cake? Pie! For breakfast!
well this is fun.
in the morning: definitely muffins. scones are dry and gross.
carrot cake: with pineapple. carrot cake without pineapple is dry and...well, not gross. carrot cake can never be gross.
neapolitan roulette: alone, it would be strawberry. accompanying any and all desserts, it would be vanilla.
mambo italiano: gelato. so much variety.
cookies: soft and gooey, but with crunchy bits (like nuts) mixed in.
fancy restaurant desserts: neither. i guess i don't belong in fancy restaurants. :)
cupcakes: either one--it's generally the frosting that i'm after anyway.
apple pie with cheese: absolutely disgusting. the very thought makes me shudder.
strawberry shortcake: biscuit-style. a southerner loves her biscuits, especially when they're soaked with strawberry juice.
ultimate faceoff: that's tough. i'll say cake, but only if cream cheese icing is involved.
