Sweet Bake Shop

Ellie and I made it to Canada before Sweet Bake Shop closed! My sweet friend Tessa is going onto bigger and better adventures. She has worked extremely hard this past year at her Shop. It has paid off and now she is making plans for the New Year! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! We love Vancouver BC, it was so fun traveling up there to check out this Bakery. Her baked goods were delishous, but I have to say my favorite part was receiving their aborble macaron boxes and pink gift bags! I mean come on! Too cute... I love the attention to detail. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much a we did? Happy Monday

This last weekend while I was in Arizona, I went to Sprinkles Cupcakes in Scottsdale. I was so excited! This store also has a ATM outside... Eeeeeeek! I couldn't decide which Cupcake to get so I got two (2). The Red Velvet & The Lemon Meringue- Red Velvet is their top seller this Southern Style (light Chocolate) cake is so moist and to top it off it has a yummy cream cheese frosting. Defiantly one of the BEST Red Velvets I've ever had! Then my second Cupcake was one of their seasonal, Lemon Meringue. This is a Lemon Cake with a Meringue inside, topped off with a Toasted Marshmallow Frosting... Can I just say NomNom!! I'm so glad I tried it however, my kids aren't so happy I went without them (oops!) I guess we'll have to go back soon!

Tessa founder/owner of the Sweet Bake Shop nestled in Vancouver BC is the most amazing baker I know. I can't help but scream from the rooftops about how amazing her talents are! Almost one year ago to the day, she opened her first store front shop. I'm happy to announce she has out grown her store and her business has spiraled and grown beyond her wildest dreams. With much sadness, Tessa will be closing her store front! When one door closes, another opens... She will be hitting the international market, taking her brand overseas and around the world. Hosting a series or baking workshops and pop-up stores. Tessa will be working with brands to develop product lines and finally writing a Book! I'm so proud of you Tessa... I wish you all the best in your NEW adventure! 

I'm in Arizona today- follow along on Instagram while I attend a Blogging Conference this weekend! Muah... 

Kyras Bake Shop

This last weekend, Evan had a Baseball tournament across town in Lake Oswego. I love this sweet small town. They have a great Saturday Market, as well as cute shops. But, I have to say my favorite store in this town is this adorable Bakery called Kyra's Bake Shop. Kyra's Bake Shop is a three-time winner for Food Network's Cupcakes Wars. Since Jason was out of town at a Golf Tournament I was Evan's ride to and from every game. :) He had to be at the field an hour early each game. This gave me a chance to tootle around town. I knew I needed to try this Bakery- (blogger friends recommended) The Red Velvet was screaming my name. It DID NOT disappoint!! Delicious... Almost as sweet as my yummy cupcake was the surprise of my nieces coming into town. They came and watched Evan play Baseball and really helped cheering him on. Evan's team WON the whole Tournament! Yeah... We had a sweet weekend all a round! 

Fat Cupcake

I'm so excited to share with you this adorable Bakery that one of Ellie's friend told us about. Fat Cupcake is a sweet cupcake store in Oregon City. These beautifully decorated cupcakes don't just look amazing, they taste good too! I had the prevailage of meeting the owner she is as sweet as a cupcake. She loves being a Baker. She has developed and designed unique flavors which change daily. This Bakery is decorated with a vintage flare. Next time you are in Oregon City stop by... you won't be sorry! I love Cupcakes.
