This past weekend Paula and I did a cupcake party for 10 kids. We provided cupcakes, frosting, toppings and let them design their own cupcakes. I have to say that these little 6 year olds have some really big talent! They taught me a few things. Great Job!

Thanks for letting me be apart of your special day, Alexis! Happy Birthday!

Okay! So, no one ever really likes their own birthday but we all know that we love it when it is someone who we care about birthday!

Picking the very best fruits and vegetables to make the very best Tasty Treats is fantasic but supporting the local markets makes what we do, so amazing.
