Cake! Cake! Cake!

We enjoy great coffee from next door and one to many gallons of tea everyday - it keeps us going! But nothing is more exciting than when Lisa or Sue bring in their special flourless Orange Cake. It is extremely yummy and very much sin free! Let us know if you'd like the recipe and we'll post it!

we can have our cake and eat it too!

Blogging about cakes is almost as fun as eating them but no where near as fun as googling funny cakes! We found this this afternoon - hilarious! Maybe we should make a flourless orange cake, shaped like this bikini babe, for our customers this saturday?
