This week we’re up at our family house in Nova Scotia, Canada. And we’re eating cake pops 🙂 Our house is situated on a northward-facing cove on Bell’s Island, one of the LaHave islands. It’s my favorite place ever. And so far the weather couldn’t be better, considering the islands have been getting a lot of bad weather prior to this week. We’ve been going to the beach every day, and the water is surprisingly warm for up here! The other day Rebe and I journeyed with our grandmother/Noni into town to do errands, and we stopped at a magical place called the Bulk Barn. It’s a store full of every single food item you can think of in these bulk containers, making it easy to buy as little or as much of something as you’d like. Down the first aisle I found chocolate of every which sort. The second aisle, piping supplies. The third, cake mix (by this point my head was full of ideas for what I could bake with all this stuff). The last aisle was full of sprinkles in different colors and sizes. I looked to Rebe and said, “Wait, but… I’m in love with bulk barn.”

We finally decided on cake pops on account of their general awesomeness. Everyone loves cake (or at least those who matter…). And everyone loves finger-food. Then what better way to enjoy cake than in a bite-sized morsel with sprinkles on top? So we gathered our supplies (lollipop sticks, cake mix, white chocolate wafers, $0.06 worth of pink, blue, yellow, and rainbow sprinkles), and headed for the checkout.

Now back on the island with Friend Simone, swapping music and going out to the wharf to do some sunset yoga. And maybe another cake pop 🙂  Lovely, lovely day.
