I’ve heard great things about Proof Bakery but never the pleasure, so when a friend suggested lunch there, I said “Oooh!

While it does fall a little short of the grand scrumptiousness that Huckleberry captures with aplomb, Thyme Cafe is a worthy lunch spot.

In fashion or not, I just like a good cupcake, and I’m pretty flexible [...]
