Tour De Sweet: CakeSpy Event At Baked

Thursday, I stopped by Baked in Brooklyn. Jessie Oleson is currently doing a "Tour De Sweet" Bakery Book Tour as she promotes her new book, CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life



Vanilla Cupcakes!


Red Velvet Whoopie Pie!

Kerry, owner of Lollicake Bakeshop in Denver, was also in town. It was so nice to meet her! She's coming on the Cupcake Cruise next August.

Did you know that our friend and Cakespy blogger, baker, artist and shop owner Jessie Oleson is on tour for her first cookbook, Cakespy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life (one word: S'moreos!!), specifically Tour de Sweet? (Click for all tour dates.) Well, she is, and I highly encourage you to check it out! We'll be there on November 9th at 2 pm Butter Lane and November 10th at 7 pm in Red Hook, and there are events this coming Monday and Tuesday in Boston. Treats are in store and her cookbook makes me want to lick the pages; more on that soon!



Alas, I don't think we are going to be as lucky as Jessie, who got to hang with Jay Mewes and Kevin Smith: (via Flickr)
