Birthday Cupcakes
My younger brother is one of the hardest working people I know. He gets to work at 7 am and leaves around 11 at night, six sometimes seven times a week. At the whim of his client (*ahem* Genentech), he was unable to spend his 27th birthday with friends and family. In a desperate attempt to bring a piece of home to him, I searched high and low for a bakery that would delivery an extra special order with a 24-hour notice.
Cupcake Jones to the rescue. They warmly answered the phone and happily accomodated my request. One dozen cupcakes delivered to his work tomorrow between the hours of 10 and 2. 'Would you also like a candle and card to accompany this delivery?' she asks. How sweet. (I'm wondering if they are hiring.)
The cupcakes made in time and looked impeccable. 'Dangerously delicious' were his exact words. I could hear him smiling on the other end than as he thanked us for making his day.
Happy Birthday J.
White Chocolate Raspberry: white chocolate cake filled with raspberry white chocolate pastry cream topped with white chocolate buttercream, raspberry drizzle, and grated white chocolate
Bananas Foster: banana spice cake filled with caramel pastry cream topped with caramel buttercream, caramel sauce and a banana chip
Downtown Cupcake Brown: delicious devil’s food cake filled with sour cream chocolate ganache topped with fresh grated dark chocolate
Velvet Painting: red velvet cake filled with vanilla bean pastry cream topped with cream cheese icing, and a hand candied rose petal

Syun Izakaya
209 Ne Lincoln St
Hillsboro, OR 97124
www.syunizakaya.com
This place has got to be the best Japanese Restaurant I've ever been to! Syun Izakaya is casual and inconspicuous from the outside. Their menu is all inclusive and aims to please with noodles, hot plates, sushi, rolls, etc. (It's approximately seven pages long and doesn't include their extensive selection of sake, that's a separate menu). The food is AMAAAAZING and authentic - not to mention super affordable. Just make sure someone in your party orders the Gyuniku Ninniku (beef with garlic buds) - freakin YUMMM! Syun Izakaya also has about 20-30 different sakes on stock. If you order a bottle the restaurant will offer to store it for up to 100 days! With food this good, I'd expect people to eat here a few times a month. I miss it already. My only regret is that I didn't take pictures for the rest of the world to see. Check out their Yelp reviews -http://www.yelp.com/biz/syun-japanese-restaurant-hillsboro#hrid:0r5FW7FAiuYw7j5YeItnxA
Random fact of the day:
In California, it isn't uncommon for a customer to share alcohol beverages with their bartender/server. In Oregon however, servers are prohibited from partaking in such activities. BOOOO!! Sorry Daniel.
It is also illegal to pump your own gas in OR.
