Stop in on Friday 10-12 for some DLicious treats!! I’m definitely down for a Butter Pecan! What flavor would you choose?

School's out! That means extra baking time!

Stop by my cinnamon roll pop-up this Friday at Bluebird Books from 10 - 12 to pick up a treat (or six!).

Flavors include: Original, Caramel, Raspberry Cream Cheese, Blueberry Lemon, Cookies 'n Cream, and Butter Pecan!

Single rolls are $4, but a tray of 6 is only $20 -- and you can build your own tray of flavors!

See ya Friday!

I had the pleasure of hearing Patty Wetterling and Joy Baker share Patty’s story and the process of writing their book last night at the Detroit Lakes Public Library. If you haven’t read Dear Jacob yet, you definitely should.
