These days, it has seemingly become more common to see a brewery put baked goods into their beers as opposed to other way around. That said, The Temptress Imperial Milk Stout has proven to be a tasty addition when used in cookies, ice cream and other confections ever since Lakewood Brewing Co. of Garland began producing the beer over a decade ago.

Of course, collaborating with local makers on products beyond beer is a way for breweries like Lakewood to expand their brand awareness. In this case, the brewery has lent its liquid to Sweet Dol-ings Bakery of Dallas for use in the creation of two new Temptress-infused treats that will be on the menu during a pop-up event at Lakewood this weekend.

Launched in 2024, Sweet Dol-ings is a woman-led baking business founded by Nedjina Dol. A passion for baking led Dol to begin mailing homemade dessert boxes to friends and family during the 2020 holiday season. It turned into an annual tradition that has since become something much bigger.

Now, coming up on Saturday, June 14 at 12 p.m., Sweet Dol-ings will be set up in the Lakewood Taproom offering up a Temptress Cake, made with the original Temptress, along with a Temptress Blonde Cupcake, made with the brewery's recently released imperial golden stout.

It's an opportunity to shop small and support local business, and if you want to make a day of it, you can enjoy one or both desserts after grabbing a bite of lunch first. Options include beer-infused snacks and entrees from the Lakewood kitchen like the Bavarian Pretzel (with beer Cheese spread and Temptress mustard) and the limited time Chicken Pickle Ranch Flatbread (with ranch dressing, grilled chicken, mozzarella, Lakewood Lager house-made pickles and a buffalo drizzle).
