New bakery design - 4From Tuesday through Thursday, I will be in Seattle. I am so excited to have been invited for a blogger event with Cinnabon! We will get to meet the CinnaMOM and take a tour of Jerilyn’s farmhouse.

Cinnabon has a secret baking in the oven! We’re coming out with an all-new, delicious treat and we’d like you to be one of the very first people to try it!

The getaway takes place Feb. 9-11, with the tasting event on Feb. 10 at Jerilyn’s farm house just outside of Seattle. We would love for you to join us in making this indulgent new treat while learning more about Jerilyn’s new recipe and her love of all things Cinnabon.

Jerilyn, the brains behind the original Cinnabon recipe, invited me into her home for an exclusive hands-on event, along with a few other people.

I first heard of Cinnabon about 15 years ago. I have been in love every since and every time I pass a Cinnabon, I always stop and get one. Ahhh I can smell it now!

There are eight bloggers will be heading to Seattle for this Farm tour. The bloggers will include:

  • Mommy Perks
  • Mommy Mandy
  • Mommy Goggles
  • Soul Parents
  • Cupcakes Take the Cake
  • Serious Eats
  • GigaChef
  • Gastronomy

I am very excited to be a part of this event! I will be tweeting throughout the event and posting pictures and information from the event.
