Wedding Season!

I’ve forgotten to post about it this year, but we’re taking appointments for tastings for 2012 weddings.  Tastings are free for weddings of more than 45 guests. We do tastings for gluten free too! We got to do some gorgeous and fun weddings last year and are looking forward to another fun summer of weddings. Call 503-477-5916.

This is Fantastic!

Yesterday I made a second attempt to go whale watching on the Oregon coast. My first attempt was on a blustery, rainy day and while the boat ride was like a totally awesome wet roller coaster, there were no whales in sight.  None that I could see through my rain splattered glasses anyway. Yesterday was a beautiful day, in Oregon terms, so I tried again and it was amazing. Totes fantastic.

it's fudgy the whale! (anyone get that? anyone?)

This was the only decent picture I got, because I was too excited to take pictures and the boat was bouncing around. A woman on the boat kept saying “this is fantastic!” over and over and it was hard to be annoyed at her because it really was! Seeing these giant, beautiful animals is such a great reminder of why I’m vegan, and how amazing all creatures are.

And that’s why we baked some awesome stuff today, and no animlas were harmed to make it happen.

This is our daily assortment of scones and cupcakes, which are probably pretty overlooked as far as photos go. The are such mainstays, but never get their picture taken. Our scones have a die-hard group of fans, and particularly the cinnamon ones.  The cupcakes vary daily and depending on the cupcake maker’s mood, but there are always blackbottoms (the first recipe I ever made vegan), and a selection of Gluten Free.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny so come by and grab doughnuts, and a sandwich to go, and go hiking! or whale watching! or sunbathing (with sunscreen)! We’ll be slaving away in the hot kitchen, just for you.
