So we just got back from our whirlwind book tour and it was a gas. I'll try to post all of the goodness on this here blog over the coming days, but with so much going on in the Baked universe, I might skip a day here and there, so please forgive, avid reader...

Anyway- the first stop on our trip was Seattle, a great (and very friendly) city on Elliott Bay. As soon as we dropped off our bags at the splendid ACE hotel, we headed to (where else?) Top Pot Doughnuts for some truly amazing treats.

As you can see, I couldn't even wait to take a picture of my chocolate glazed beauty. It was just so sweet and so good. God bless America, and God bless Top Pot.

We Interviewed, baked, shopped, ate, partied and drank our way through the rest of our time there and met some really great people along the way. If you have never been, its worth the trip.

The best part? Pike's Market: Beecher's Cheese Shop, where we ate our body weight in Mac & Cheese, as seen here:

And don't get me started on their curd. I will wax poetic. Overall, Seattle was awesome. And Portland? Even awesomer. But more on that later!
