Sooo many delicious choices at Behind the Times Bakery this morning! And I wasn’t the only one treating myself on this chilly Friday. It was bustling with customers…people grabbing coffee on the way to the office, mom friends and their little ones enjoying fresh cinnamon rolls, and even someone grabbing a box of goodies to take to school as a sweet surprise! I stuck to my regular…vintage mocha with oat milk but splurged on these decadent chocolate chip cookie cupcakes. Happy Friday!
