Body frosting, whipped cream, honey, hot fudge.

All good in theory. Until your dry cleaner suggests it’s time to invest in dessert plates.

Get into something sweet — without making a mess — at Candy Kitchen, a lingerie boutique deep in the Mission. They don’t actually sell bonbons; they just kept the name when they bought the space from St. Francis Fountain next door. But the wares are just as appetizing.

Like sexy standbys from Cosabella, Mary Green, and Biatta or frilly-bottomed Honeydew knickers and bikini pieces by On Gossamer. InJoy microfiber boy shorts and Brazilian panties give your hot-cross buns a lift; Le Mystere adds extra candy to the goody bags up front.

So the next time he asks for something sweet after dinner, you can be the sugar on top.

Candy Kitchen, 2807 24th Street, between York and Bryant Streets (415-285-2121).
