Our first stop in Ferndale occurred during lunchtime after we had hiked at Humboldt Redwoods State Park nearby.
At first, we stopped by Ferndale Pizza, where Alex ordered and ate an entire pepperoni pizza! I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo (which was well prepared), and it filled me up.
After lunch, we decided to stop by at Humboldt Sweets. Yelp indicated that it might be closed (but Yelp has been frequently wrong regarding working hours). Luckily for us, Humboldt Sweets was open! This charming little shop had some of the best cakes, and we enjoyed eating them.
The owner was amiable and gave us a considerable portion of the cake. It was big enough for the whole family! The desserts looked freshly baked and almost as good as cakes in Cafe Demel in Vienna. Some German customers commented on the quality of the cakes here (and that's quite a compliment).
We overheard some other customers talking about the Ferndale Kinetic Sculptures event and decided to come back the next day to see it (and maybe get more cake!)
The cinnamon rolls were also delicious! We ate much more than we should have!
We returned to Humboldt Redwoods State Park for more hiking but came back the next day to see Kinetic Sculptures for ourselves.
Some sculptures were quite funny; some were pathetic; others were silly.

The band, mostly amateur musicians, sounded quite good and entertained us the whole time.
