The Internet Sends Me Cake

If you send me a cake, I post a link to your work on the internet (both on this site and on twitter). You will be judged solely on your cake rather than your work, which makes this an equal opportunity link site. It is that simple and that awesome (for me and my studiomates). Cakes can be sent to 61 Greenpoint Avenue, Suite 514, Brooklyn NY 11222. I have a preference for lemon cake with buttercream icing, cakes with fruit in them, or any cake with cream cheese frosting, but by all means be inventive. Cupcakes, pastries, and pies will also be accepted, but anything sent would preferably be handmade. I can buy fancy cakes if I want to, but I want YOUR weird lopsided handmade creation. If you are an out-of-the-country-er and this is not possible or you'd rather not risk fedexing your creation, feel free to bake a cake for your friends, take a picture, and send me your friends' cake assessment and a photo of the cake (along with your url of course) and it will be posted. Also, please know that this was set up with good and silly intentions only, please don't be offended that I like both cake and the internet.

I love that some folks are following through with the out-of-country parameters to this project! Here is a truly lovely looking cake by a lovely “Modern Country Lady” named Bea Van Waes. Her friends Don and Theresa Pritchard sent in this glowing review: “This walnut coffee cake was one of the best coffee cakes we have ever eaten. It is moist, creamy and you can taste the walnuts, the mascarpone and the syrup, it is just superb. The taste of this cake is just like nothing else -it is really delicious. It is moist and sort of gooey and so soft and sweet . A great treat. High recommended.”

This awesome cake was sent in by Rachel (@rachelofcourse) & Travis (@travishines)! Travis, that is one awesome girlfriend you have for getting that cake made! I’m jealous! I think @strangenative should follow suit…Here’s a little description from Rachel about the cake: “The cake was shaped like an ampersand with his favourite things on top - a pug and miniature pony, and the writing is in ITC Lubalin Graph.”

I love when people get creative about the “cake” they send! Sarah Selecky sent in a copy of her (beautifully designed) book for my reading pleasure! I definitely look forward to “consuming” this in the next week or two! Yum!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Courtney Cordaro (@cacordaro) in person when she came to a lecture I gave at Kean University this spring. Had I known she could bake such awesomely moist citrusy delicious cakes I would have kidnapped her and taken her home as my personal baking slave! So much homemade goodness, everyone definitely check out her site!

The lovely Kelley Cassity of Cutie Cake Patisserie sent these AWESOME gluten free cookies! They were much appreciated by our Workshop studio neighbors as one of them is on a gluten free diet and had up to this point not been able to participate in cake eating! The package included decorated shortbread/sugar cookies, chocolate peanut butter cookies, and CoconOat Sugar cookies (my favorite of the bunch). You can pick up some for yourself at her Etsy store!

Received this AWESOME (double underline exclaimation point) Cherry Chocolate Cake with Fudge Frosting and Rainbow Sprinkles from the good folks at Daily Diptych today. I’ll tell you what, I’m usually not a chocolate fanatic (I like it but don’t crave it like I do fruity sugary sweets) but this is the best goddamn chocolate cake I have ever eaten. I could eat the whole thing by myself. It is seriously the moistest cake EVER. Ms. Maggie Hudson and Mr. Aaron Capa, tip of the cap to you. You are two effing good bakers. I’m assuming your photography is as awesome and luscious as this cake, so please, everyone, go to their site!! Also, they sent this awesome typewritten note signed by The Internet, so bonus points for hilarity.

Nicola over at Twisty Noodle sent me this fun site where you can customize a cake themed coloring sheet! I colored it on the computer because I am a robot, but this would be very fun to print out and color yourself, be you a tiny person or a grown up. I was such a color-within-the-lines kid, can you tell?
