"Bits & Morsels. Jordana Z. saw Hoda and Kathy Lee eating something called chocolate covered honey cakes on the Today Show, tracked 'em down and all I can say is I betcha can't eat Just One! "

"A few weeks ago on the fourth hour (the best hour) of The Today Show, Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Gifford were viewed by millions of devotees devouring these chocolate covered honey cakes. I had never seen these two gals eat anything on camera quite like this.

So, one could only deduce that these cakes, which didn't last for more than a few seconds on screen, were worth tracking down.

Here's the story: The honey cakes are made by Bee Desserts, which operates out of Claudia Steves's restaurant, La Palette (I happen to LOVE the crepes at La Pallete, especially the spinach, mushroom and gruyere).

The lovely Claudia hails from Brazil and her passion: desserts, desserts, desserts. The cakes are all natural, made with whole wheat flour and honey instead of processed white sugar. They have no preservatives, which doesn’t matter much because they won’t last long in anyone's possession.

Her cakes are all handmade from a family recipe and come in plain, marshmallow and Liqueur. And they make excellent hostess gifts.
