Treat that special someone to a $30 birthday cake from Creekside Bakery in Novato.  One Creekside "regular" writes:

"This is my idea of heaven.  Quiet tables next to huge windows overlooking a peaceful courtyard and wooded creek.  The aroma of just baked pastries, and bread greets you as you enter.  The friendly staff speaks in muted tones behind cases filled with food for the soul.

One could spend the day eating well:  Coffee & danish.  Sandwich & fresh green salad.  Tea & eclairs.  Quiche & sacher torte.  It's a comfortable place by yourself.  Life is good!"

Sounds like you may walk out of there with more than just a birthday cake!!!
