This weekend Lou and I did a road trip to Montreal to watch the Canadians play the Penguins, and to have a little getaway from Ottawa. The city is such a fun vibrant place to see, and there’s inspiration on every corner. I really took to a little bakery that had people lining up for moustache breads in support of movember. It was such a simple yet great idea that I thought I’d better bake something with a moustache. Here’s a picture of my moustache brownies.
The best part about being knowledgeable with pastries is that you automatically get assigned to making everyone’s birthday cake.
