Afternoon Refreshments at The Brenham House

Just look on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa for the cake and frosting recipe!  Some things are better left alone!

I toasted some chopped pecans, in a little butter, to top the cupcakes.

Come and relax.

There are two wineries here in Brenham where you can get a chance to try our local wines.  Bring a bottle back to share with friends.  Walk down to the Corner Liquor Store, downtown, where you can also purchase local wine.  Most of the downtown restaurants also sell local wines!
