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?
Many Thanks to Monica of hola!design for these COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS lemon ricotta cookies!!!! These are definitely my favorite taste-wise so far. I want to ask her for the recipe but if I were her I would guard it with my life. She even popped by in person to drop them off! Unfortunately I was not in the studio yesterday so they were intercepted by Tina (aka Swiss Miss) and when I came in today all but 2 were eaten!! They were obviously a big hit with everyone. Monica even sent this awesome postcard she found in Italy a few years ago! It is now a permanent part of my desk decoration. High five to you Monica, everyone go check out her site!!
My friend Tim Goodman sent in this “teach a man to fish…” (catholic school flashback!) approach to “sending me cake” — so funny! I definitely missed the girly easy-bake period of childhood (was too busy spraining my ankles playing any and every sport). Tim also was kind enough to bring me super tiny cupcakes for my birthday. Can’t wait to try this baby out!
This is probably the most creative take on “sending me cake” you’ll ever see. Michael Koganzon, I salute you. Now please email me your website so you can get a little credit for this smart, smart solution!
UPDATE: Just found out this was actually sent in by my pal Frank Chimero and Michael K is the amazon seller he bought it from for four dollars. HA!
