"The Memories You Will Remember ..... in Washington"

CJ's Bakery! We loved, loved loved their birthday cakes and donuts. The cakes with the thick fudgey chocolate frosting. No one else ever has made it taste like that.
It's just the cutest little building in Maple Valley just the way I remembered the outside and the inside.  The smell, the tables the wooden walkway in - even the coolers and cake idea book inside were the same.  Thanks CJ's for not changing a thing! 
When I was a child and then as a gown up a trip to Tacoma could only mean one thing......a visit to the Brown and Haley candy factory.  We would get misdipped Mountain Bars and miswrapped Almond Roca.  It is the cutest circular building with pink accents. 
For some reason I could stare at this picture all day.  I love them walking in there.  Their little shadows, the pink flag in the distance and the blue sky peeking through. 
Here it is, the inside.  It is the 100 anniversary of Almond Roca so, look at this cute display.
