VBA convert a binary image to a base64 encoded string for a webpage

I am trying to read in a JPG file and convert the file to a base64 encoded string that can be used as an embedded jpeg on a web page. I found two functions on the web for base64 encoding/decoding in VBA that appear to be well-accepted. The encode/decode process yields my original binary string, so the functions appear to be at least somewhat correct. However the base64 string I am getting is no where near what I get when I use an online tool to convert my image to base64.

The base64 string should start: "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAUgBSAAD". Instead it is starting with: "Pz8/Pz9BYT8/AD8/Pz8/Pz8/Pz8/Pz8/Pz8". I'm lost as to why I'm not getting the former result and why I'm getting the latter. Am I doing something wrong in my reading of the binary file?

Here is my code:

Sub TestBase64()
    Dim bytes, b64
    With CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
    .Open
    .Type = ADODB.adTypeBinary
    .LoadFromFile "c:\temp\TestPic.jpg"
    bytes = .Read
    .Close
    End With
    Debug.Print bytes
    b64 = Base64Encode(bytes)
    Debug.Print vbCrLf + vbCrLf
    Debug.Print b64
    Debug.Print vbCrLf + vbCrLf
    Debug.Print Base64Decode(CStr(b64))        
End Sub
