Baking it to the Streets



It's funny the people you meet selling cupcakes in the red light district of Chiang Mai.


I overheard one happy customer with a mouthful of frosting say "I can now go to bed satisfied."

Of my interpretation of the Starbucks classic Maple Nut scone- "Do you mean it? Like a May Pole?" Oh the Brits. Brilliant.

Homemade Oreo Stars. A couple of French guys told me they'd buy all the cookies from me if I went out dancing with them. Then they proceeded to do the robot. In the middle of the street.
I think you know my answer.
A Thai friend shares my adoration for Peach Mangosteen pie- "I never try like this one before but I am very like it!"
Peanut Caramel Popcorn
A tourist from Mongolia offered me 50 baht to take my picture. Would you do it? I took 70. :)
(which was donated to the kids, of course)

An Italian family loved the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Then they returned to buy cupcakes for grandpapa.

An Aussie bought a Cranberry Almond Scone. It was his birthday. Birthday. . ..scone? Sad. Maybe that's why he left Australia. Good on ya, mate.

The ever popular (but why though?) Banana Coconut Bread.
My favorite British Kindergarten teacher hobbled by today, holding his side from food poisoning pain(note: never eat chicken that's been in the 107 degree heat for 6 hours or more) He still bought banana bread for the morning: "I want this to be the first thing I eat!"
Don't worry, we don't sell naked Banana Bread. We dress them all up pretty :

See.
