Here we are with Ms. Joy!
This past Sunday, we ventured Downtown to Joy the Baker’s Virtual Picnic. It was a sunny rooftop shindig. Here are a few pictures with a few words on the afternoon. Take a looksie!
Spicy coleslaw, chocolate cupcakes and Cheetos! Love Cheetos. Also love coleslaw and cupcakes.
She made fried chicken and little biscuits. Fun, right? Fun.
A plate full of everything. (We went hungry!)
Vanilla cupcakes with marshmallow and the best red velvet cupcakes in life. Fabulous frosting with a hint of cinnamon. Delicious! (And yes, those would be a second helping of Cheetos.)
There were bales of hay for sitting. Nice!
We got to meet Michael from South Bay Foodies!
The fans await. How cool to have so many fans. We were in line too.
Closing the afternoon overlooking the smoggily gorgeous Downtown skyline.
Who doesn’t love a picnic? The weather was perfect, the people were sweet, the food was delicious, and Joy was a joy! Supposedly, she plans to do it again. We hope to squeeze onto the guestlist for a repeat.

Hi. Definitely looks like fun!
What fun! The food looks outstanding (no surprise, of course).
How delicious–I wish we had come! I love Joy’s site.
Haha I love the random mix of food – especially the Cheetos sitting right next to those delish looking cupcakes.
[...] I was glad to run into my friends and fellow bloggers Josh of Food GPS and Chrystal and Amir of The Duo Dishes. I follow both blogs daily and swap emails with them on occasion. While its great to share [...]
So fun, I was going to go, but I couldn’t at the last minute. Hope to make it the next time.

I just discovered (reading your bio) that you guys were not living together or did I misunderstand. I really thought that you were a couple, discovering and reading your posts daily…
Looks like a fabulous spread! Those mini biscuits are adorable.

Oh, I am turning green from jealousy! Congrats on your blog award and gosh, I already wanted to live clsoe by so I could crash dinner time but gee, you even get to meet Joy–yippee!
