The baby ducks are getting so big and are so happy to be fed.

What should we do with this last piece?

Let's eat it!

All done!

Quakin' like a duck.

What I didn't get pictures of was our picnic. Of course we finished it off with a variety of cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes. This brought on the discussion of which Seattle cupcake bakery was the best.

Thus we began the quest to find the answer to that question. The next day we visited New York cupcake and then over to Cupcake Royale. The winner? Cupcake Royale hands down. What flavor was our favorite. Well, that's another challenge that we are willing to endure...

Mine? A rich moist (sorry Lindsey) chocolate cupcake with an amazing Salted Caramel frosting! Red velvet with cream cheese frosting is a close second. Rick's absolute favorite is Triple chocolate (a dark chocolate cupcake with dark chocolate frosting and chocolate shavings on top).

to die for!
