Here’s to my last week as a 21 year old!
I’ve only heard fabulous things about Guglhupf Bakery, Patisserie, and Cafe and I finally finally FINALLY got a chance to go last night. It’s been on my bucket list for ages.
I created a bucket list of things to accomplish before I graduate….98% of the list is food-related.Of course.
It is such a cool looking place! I wish my house looked like this 
.
The group:
I met some bloggers, old and new! Clockwise ’round the table: Kelly, Jessica, Me, Caroline, Seth, Margaret, and Diana.
I started with a slice of black pepper parmesan bread and a lil’ pat of whipped buttah. The restaurant was a little dark so I used the candle for some lighting .
And then I used the flash….
I ordered the Wild Mushroom Salad w/ frisee, grilled red onion, hazelnuts, shaved mona cheese and a local honey-apricot vinaigrette
I could not stop raving about the hazelnuts. I swear I tasted Nutella when I was crunching on ‘em. I need to get a bag of hazelnuts for snacking and baking. Perhaps it’ll replace my beloved pecans as the new nut of choice? Hmmm…
I got a side of brussels sprouts, which the waiter raved about. The leaves were peeled off, sauteed in olive oil and butter. They were lovely although I still prefer my brussels in halves.

Dessert Tray:
I didn’t get dessert but Jessica did and it was too pretty not to take a photo. She got a chocolate torte with marshmallows and kumquats.
Jessica also baked us Energy Bars in honor of my birthday coming up. Thank, you Jessica!
Good times!! I need to go back for brunch and visit the bakery part of Guglhupf before I graduate.

I need to add some food related items to my bucket list. That sounds lovely, and the lamps are gorgeous. I really like the idea of chocolate and kumquat together. Mmmmm. Might have to experiment.
Have a good week!
Awww, that place looks so cute. I love the lanterns – it looks so cozy
Your salad looks great – nutella tasting? Hells yes!
Happy early bday!
What a salad! If I could choose one thing I would eat the reast of my life it would definitely be salad
those Brussels look good too, I must try to make them that way too sometime.
Have a great week!
I love hazelnuts! They are so yummy! Have a happy Birthday!

What a fantastic meet up! Wish I could have joined you!
Enjoy your last week as a crazy 21 year old!!! 
Graduation…so soon…for the both of us! (High school for me…haha). I went to TJ’s and got THE muffins! I saw kumquats, but didn’t really have the extra money. Maybe next time…
Wow the food looks great! I love the decor! Those paper lanterns make everything look so whimsical! Glad you enjoyed!!!
Looks like a great time! You know you’re a blogger when you get homemade bars for your bday and are soooo excited about it – they look amazing!
Sounds like such a fun meet up! The dessert tray is definitely my favorite part of the meal…I’m sure their bakery is heavenly! Have a great day!

I havent had one yet but I can only imagine the picture taking and amazing food talk! that place looks awesomee…parmesan bread?! ahh so good!
Congrats on your last week at 21. 22 is not too bad although it was the first birthday I was not really excited to be getting a year older.
haha okay in your previous post–that’s really cool that they use vodka to make the wedding cakes look shiny, i had no idea!
Yay for your birthday being so close! Except, wasn’t being 21 kind of great?? I’m sure life gets better from here though
What a great dinner! I need a bucket list ASAP!
mmmm the salad looks wonderful. I wanted to let you know that I tried kefir for the first time yesterday because of you and I am in LOVE. So thanks!
What a fun restaurant! Sounds like the meet-up was a blast- happy early birthday!
I think it’s great you meet up with other bloggers. The food looks great! (I prefer my bs in halves as well!)
I LOVE guglhupf! I am so jealous of your cake decorating at sugarland. that vodka technique is genious. love!
ps – these profiles are a drag
The torte looks divine!
Looks like so much fun!
Aaahhh what a wonderful time!! I love the looks of that chocolate torte with marshmallows and kumquats! Delicious!
Just look at that dessert tray!! OH MY!!!
what a yummy fun place! of course 98% of my bucket list is food related as well
I also had a college bucket list! Also mostly food related! Actually the guy I dated in the fall turned out to be a skeaze but it was nice having someone to go to all those places with. I made a lot more progress than I would have made alone! While I don’t recommend a skeazy guy, I do recommend having someone to tackle your bucket list with. It’s a culinary adventure!
