Karen, the owner, always marvels at our mileage, no matter how modest, and my running buddy always gets the cherry turnover. (I like to mix it up.)
Leave it CakeSpy to find the real pot 'o gold; the bakery's vivid rainbow cake. It's part pride parade with a dash of Sunday school and Care Bears, and now I've got a reason to light one more candle.
I'm going to make a wish right now... for one with a unicorn.... Pretty please?

The city's mayoral race is still up in the air.
Updated poll results released Thursday afternoon showed Mike McGinn in the lead by just 515 votes. The numbers showed McGinn with 49.78 percent of the votes (65,172) and Mallahan with 49.38 percent (64,657).
Thursday's results widened the gap between the two candidates by just a sliver. On Wednesday, McGinn was leading by 462 votes.
The margin has differed each day since Tuesday, but McGinn has consistently been in the lead. Initial results released Tuesday night showed McGinn in the lead by less than 1,000 votes.
Mallahan and McGinn are two political newcomers. Both out-polled Mayor Greg Nickels in the August primary and advanced to Tuesday's election. Nickels had been dogged by criticism of his handling of a snow storm last year.
McGinn made opposition to the tunnel a centerpiece of his primary campaign, but softened his position a few weeks ago.
According to the first numbers released by King County, McGinn has 50.03 percent of the vote, and Mallahan has 48.96 percent.
About 85,000 ballots have been counted in the race so far, and King County's next update is not until 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

King County Council Chairman Dow Constantine has defeated former TV news anchor Susan Hutchison in the race for King County Executive.
The race was called about an hour after Constantine declared victory over Hutchison after gaining a wide lead in early results.
With 39 percent of the expected vote counted in Tuesday's election, Constantine led Hutchison with roughly 57 percent to her 43 percent - a gap of more than 34,000 votes. More than 244,000 votes have been tallied by county election workers.
"That was over quick, wasn't it?" Constantine said to his supporters. "Nine months of working every day and just 15 minutes of waiting for those results ... It's been a tough campaign."
Hutchison has not conceded, noting only 40 percent of the votes had been counted when King County announced the results of its first count on Thursday night.
"Whatever Dow wants to do, Dow will do," she told KOMO News. "We're going to watch those votes come in. And I can understand why Dow is declaring victory, but we're not conceding. We are going to wait and go through the process."
Hutchison blamed attack TV ads for the wide margin reflected in poll numbers.
"I got an e-mail today from someone I highly respect, and he said, 'You ran a good and honorable campaign.' And I feel that that is true," she said. "We really focused on the issues and in the end it was the attack ads against me that were untrue - distorting me and who I am, and painting me in a false way - that flipped the momentum. What can you do about that?"
