And what's a birthday without treats? This event will feature seasonal vegan appetizers, desserts donated by Sugar Beat Sweets, Lagunitas brews, straight edge mojitos, and much more!

Cupcakes and drug free mojitos sound like my kind of party! Unfortunately, I have obligations at the nine-to-five, and won't be able to attend, so please support them in my stead!

Visit their website to learn more about the work they do.

Eat my treats!

I'm filling in for the lovely Melisser this week at The Usual Suspects Cafe, while she's up in Portland.

Stop by for lunch or dinner, Tuesday through Saturday, to have some chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and ganache, peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and vanilla-strawberry cake!







EDIT: June 3, 2008
Rumor has it there's only 4 cupcakes left after one day! Exciting! There's also a banana-chocolate swirl cake with icing, that I forgot to mention. I didn't have a chance to taste it, but Mark says it's fab!
