Although I don't have a huge sweet tooth, if I'm gonna have a sweet treat, I'd prefer to get it from one of New Jersey's outstanding local, family-owned bakeries.

To help you do the same, I asked the morning show crew about their favorite for everything from donuts to bread.

Here's the list.

Kathy our Board Operator: L&M Bakery in Delran

News Anchor Eric Scott: Gingered Peach in Lawrence

Jill Myra, New Jersey South: The Italian Peoples Bakery in Mercerville

Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow: Bovellas in Westfield

Producer Kristen: Scala Pastry Shop in North Brunswick

Bob Williams, New Jersey Traffic North: Giancarlos in Ledgewood

For me, there are two go-to places if I'm having a sweet craving or want to send a gift to friends and family.

In North Jersey, it's definitely the Dessert Ladies. They're in Stirling and the chocolate towers are the best.

And in Central Jersey, it's the House of Cupcakes with shops in Princeton, East Brunswick, and Clifton, plus Jeddah, Saudi Arabia!

Best Looking State Patrol Cars In (Almost) Every State

For the past 10 years, the American Association of State Troopers has held a contest to determine which state has the best looking patrol cruiser. Nearly every state police agency submits their best photo of their sharpest patrol vehicle a chance to win the coveted cover photo on the association's annual calendar. From cop cars rushing through blizzards to vehicles on the Grand Ole Opry stage, here are this year's nominees.
