Nothing Bundt Cakes.

One of my favorite past times is finding to-die-for bakeries. This sadly is not as easy as it sounds because while you would assume that they're in every city - they're not. Also, they are in cities that are located miles and miles away from me. Nothing Bundt Cakes is pretty far from me, but I was going to visit my friend and it was located on the way. Which was perfect! I got three flavors - carrot, lemon, and chocolate chip. The lemon was divine. I don't think I've ever had a better lemon cake in my life. I still dream of it whenever my stomach aches for something sweet.  I took a bite of the chocolate chip and realized it was for my little sister. I say this because she is the fanatic in our family for anything that tastes like sugar on crack. I don't like carrot cake, but my friend Semhar loves it and that's why I got it. They make theirs with pineapple and applesauce which is unusual for carrot cake. But Semhar's  inability to form words after her first bite made me think that it must have been pretty damn good.  I didn't buy a red velvet cake, but there were free samples. Thank god I got to taste it because I am a red velvet maniac. I would've bought it but after I took a bite of the sample I realized it wasn't that great. Sprinkles is still number one in my book...great now I'm going to be thinking that. I would strongly recommend any people in the Bay Area to stop by here and grab yourself a cake and also you know check out Sprinkles as well.

When taking pictures for the blog, we usually avoid the bright sun - meaning pretty much the whole day until after 6 nowadays. Why? The light is too harsh, which makes editing photos a bitch and it causes the 'the squinty face.' But, yesterday we had to go to Palo Alto for something so we decided to stop by at The Baylands (largest area of undisturbed marshland remaining in the San Francisco Bay). It's beautiful there and it's possibly the best to place to bird watch in the the Bay Area. 

We drove all the way to the end, parked, and walked on a bridge to get to a place that sorta makes you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, we felt pretty awesome until we got to the end. Holy mother of S! (J's words because I asked why is it that only god has a holy mother?) It was WINDY! Like, I bet Chicago hasn't seen wind like this - things, specifically shoe boxes and sunglasses, were about to fall in the water. J almost fell off of that bench and it was so cold, we both had goosebumps the whole time. It was the hardest I've ever had to work at taking pictures. In some pictures you can tell J has 'the squinty face' even with sunglasses, but I was impressed because she got it be relaxed for most of them. My models are totally getting professional! 

Oh and you saw the picture of that sign (Why is it so windy here?). Right when we entered that square we asked the same question and thanks to the city of Palo Alto, had an answer just as we turned. In case you were wondering as well. :)
