An outdoor courtyard and ice cream like Maine Lobster Tracks (vanilla ice cream with a crunchy eclair swirl and lobster-colored chocolate cups filled with caramel), a variety of colorful cupcakes decorated to resemble everything from mermaids to martians, and dozens of freshly baked cookies make Newport Cookie Company a great place to refuel after imbibing in the recreational Cliff Walk on the eastern shore of Newport, Rhode Island.
After surveying my Fat Fridays options, I chose a seasonal pumpkin cake ball, accompanied by a cup of tea, and grabbed a seat in the October sun. Pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon flavor a bite sized cake ball enrobed in white chocolate and topped with a decorative orange swirl. A few bites of the moist pumpkiny goodness were all I needed to give me the energy to continue exploring the historic streets of downtown Newport.

The pumpkin cake ball in all its glory
My first bite of the pumpkin cake ball- a dense cake covered with thick white chocolate
