We took the week off last week, and went to Sylvan Lake, Lily and Stella were in a volleyball camp, so we made it a holiday! The weather wasn't beach worthy, Sylvan isn't really visit worthy, the air BNB was a basement so not very awesome. However, because of all of the above, we discovered Rocky Mountain House, and enjoyed it so much, we spent 3 of our 4 days there! If you know how Clint and I travel, we're always 100% on the lookout for amazing baked goods!
Day 1 - started with lattes and piece of Pina Colada pie for breakfast at Copper Creek Cafe & Mercantile
Then our second breakfast on day 1 was two doors down at Mountain House Bakery & Cake Art - where I discovered the greatest donut of my life. I always choose chocolate long John when it's available...and it was everything. The PERFECT chalky chocolate icing, I must figure that recipe out!!!
Day 2 sweets was a dud...went to Donut Mill in Red Deer.. π«£ I have learned...only to have cake donuts there.
Day 3 sweets...we ventured to Caroline - home of Kurt Browning! After researching their little cafe, we chose to go on Wednesday for their Cinnamon buns...worth it! * Also to note we did a 10 km walk around the most perfect little lake - Crimson Lake. If I was a camper, i'd camp here.
Day 4 sweets...back to Rocky for the donuts!! However we were a little late in the day so no Long Johns π but the ring donut did the trick!
Anyway all this has got me wanting the weather to turn and to get back in the donut grind!!
Got a day needing donuts?! I mean everyday needs donuts, but do you have a staff meeting, a baby shower, sports tournament?! Shoot me a message, let's figure a day out!
