Last week was a pretty exciting (and terrifying) week for us. Before the ink was even dry on our lease, we started getting email alerts about press articles being released by SF Weekly, VegNews and the SF Bay Guardian announcing our store front grand opening coming up in July. Of course, we squealed with excitement like 12 year old girls. Then, reality set in. Now we must embark on the dreaded journey of the PERMIT PROCESS. We’re crossing our fingers and saying our prayers hoping that it’s not going to be as bad as we think it is. PLEASE, GOD.

All exciting/terrifying news aside, it was time to get back to baking for the next East Bay Vegan Bakesale in front of Issues Magazine in Oakland on Saturday. We decided to go with our Old Fashioned, Mocha Almond, Peanut Butter & Jelly and our new Oreo Cookie roll!

Despite the fact the crowd was a little slower this time, all 4 dozen were gone in about an hour. Not too bad, eh? I have no idea who made the vegan version of the Cadbury Creme Eggs, but I want to keep you chained as a prisoner in my kitchen and make you mass produce them for me daily. If they weren’t $2 a pop, I would have bought them all. In fact, I was very close to shoveling the entire tray into my purse in hopes that no one would see me sneak off with them. Next time, I suppose.

As always, the lovely Fat Bottom Bakery girls did a fantastic job organizing the event and raised an impressive $1,200 for Animal Place Sanctuary and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund.
 
Sunday was our semi-relaxing day. Our wedding planner Karine placed an order for a dozen rolls so we decided to play around with our recipe a little bit and try out one of our newer flavors… APPLE PIE! And yes, it tasted as good as it looks.

All I can say is, what a rad week!
