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 3009 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110. 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.

Featured on Eater National!

Raphael, the editor over at Eater National interviewed me for The Internet Sends Me Cake this week. Eater is an amazing food-centric site with city specific sub-sites that keep foodies up to date with what is happening in their area. So pumped to be featured! I’m definitely an avid Eater reader when it comes to finding new restaurants.

Kim Zingale of poccuo.com sent in these absolutely ridiculous peanut butter and chocolate brownies. These things are so rich and delicious I can totally understand why she gets rave reviews from friends every time she makes them! They were wrapped up in beautiful paper (a reused calendar, smart and sustainable!) for an excellent presentation. Definitely check out Kim’s site!

Ok, so if you’re going to send in non-handmade goods, this is the way to do it. Katie Kirk and Nathan Strandberg at EightHourDay sent in this lovely collection of amazing teensy cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop right here in New York City. The studiomates agree, these were delicious, rich-but-not-too-rich, and beautiful! I especially liked the carrot cupcake. Studiomate Jennifer of Minor Details called them “little bundles of goodness”. Definitely check them out!

WOW! Mckenna Kemp, mckennakemp.com sent in this AWESOME hand-made build-your-own-cupcake kit! This is the cupcake that I made, lemon with cream cheese frosting, sprinkles, and candied ginger. I will say, I think this will be hard to beat. There were four different kinds of cupcakes, 8 different toppings, frosting, gel decoration pens all in an awesomely designed little package! Click here to see full documentation of the studiomate cupcake extravaganza and to see her eeexxceelllent label that she made! And she is still in school! (graduating very soon, hint hint employers) We collectively agree that because of her super creative cupcakes, you should check out her website and hire her to make other pretty things!

These wonderful cardamom and chocolate-chip muffins were sent in by Amanda C. Brainerd from www.amusesmedia.com. WOW! They are so good! I’ve already had two! Very interesting flavors and excellent denseness. 612a and I agree, you should visit Amanda’s site based on her excellent baking skills. The fine folks next door at Workshop also thought they were excellent! Also bonus points to Amanda for being the first to send cakes in!
