When I have to go to the auction house in Santa Cruz I try to stop by Gayle's Bakery in Capitola. I decided since I wasn't have any luck making a new recipe everyday (the cookbook I picked wasn't working for me) I would pick a new food to try. One of hubby's favorite desserts is a Boston Cream cake so I had to try this mini version. Two bites and this puppy was gone. It was very good but if you are a frugal person, you could buy a whole big cake for what three of these little ones cost. I also picked up some raspberry brownies (to share with the girls at the store) and peach/raspberry muffins. I was on a sugar high all day.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
