May is the month that every occasion happens in our family….or so it seems. Lots of birthdays and anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, a graduation, and the Maker Faire. Whew! I think that is it. Anyway, today I was on a mission to pick out some last minute goodies for one of the birthdays. Headed out to Bodega, but I was very unsuccessful. However, I stopped at one of the best bakeries in Sonoma County, Wild Flour Bread Bakery. It was along the way in a little town called Freestone. They are known for their wood fired brick oven baked bread. I picked up two chocolate currant scones – one for the freezer and one to share with my husband for tomorrow. *grin*
On the subject of bakeries….I did a little baking myself last weekend. I made cupcakes again. The flavor of choice was Peanut Butter-Banana Chocolate Cupcake with a Caramel Glaze. Here is the recipe. I added the baking soda and halved all of the ingredients, making only a dozen. They were very tasty and shared amongst family and friends.
I am very happy about this. Strawberries in the garden:
