04.Jul.2009 Sugar Vacation

I need to do it. I can’t stand the thought of sugar at this point, especially because of this:

The Oreo Cookie Cookies I had baked for the LA sale flatlined on me, the suckers, so I figured that making cake would be a great idea. Wrong.

Speaking of the LA bake sale and vacation, it was a whirlwind of great food, amazing people, and fun.

I was lucky to stay at the event organizer’s herself, Miss Afsoon

who made some of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had the pleasure to sink my teeth into…

Lemon Rosemary cupcakes. Words are very unnecessary, right?

Another amazing Buffy fan/lady I had the pleasure to meet there was Ashley, who acted like a vampire by staying up pretty much all night to make Pumpkin, Peanut Butter, as well as regular cinnamon rolls.

I don’t think I need to mention how quickly these babies flew off the table.

Among the other awesome participants/goods providers were: Kim/C’est La Vegan, Hugger Food, Rachel, Brittany, Jennifer, Joni, Michael and Natalie.
If I forgot anyone, feel free to send bad karma. Or sugar.

I also finally got to meet Wannabe a Vegan and her lovely pup, Violet…

who suffered from the hot, hot heat like the rest of us.

To sum it up and cut this one short before you get too eager to slap me, let’s just say I am already looking forward to next year (and sooner) for more of the same.

And remember Einstein’s crazy hair is always right:

    Good luck on your sugar vacation. You need to get back to zero so you can get super charged in Portland! The sale looked like a great success!

    yeah, that…you know, it didn’t work out so well. I’ll still have room for a lot of PDX sugar-induced coma, fear not.
