What's the Prettiest Dessert You've Ever Seen?
Photograph by Lance Iversen for The San Francisco Chronicle At the Blue Bottle Coffee Bar, in the Rooftop Garden at the San Francisco MOMA, pastry chef Caitlin Williams Freeman sculpts desserts that model the paintings within the museum—like the Piet Mondrian-style cake pictured above. Food is often called a form of art, but this cake is pretty incredible. What's the prettiest dessert that you've ever seen?...How to Make Cupcake Kebabs
Not much explanation needed here, but there's more to the components than meets the eye. A video explaining the cupcake kebabs appears on the blog Cupcakes Take the Cake. These would be clever desserts to bring to a potluck cookout....Seriously Italian: Abbracci Cookies
One of my favorite Mulino Bianco treats are Abbracci. Translated as an embrace or hug, these cookies are a variation on the vanilla-on-chocolate theme; little crescents of vanilla and chocolate dough are clasped together in a passionate cuddle.Snapshots from South Korea: Patbingsu, a Popular Shaved Ice Dessert
Last month I visited Seoul, South Korea, for the first time. Here's a look at something I ate from my one-week trip. For more, check out the rest of my Snapshots from South Korea. Patbingsu, a shaved ice-based dessert loaded with sweet toppings such as chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red beans, is so popular in South Korea that you can find it at most fast food restaurants in addition to cafes and bakeries. One of my friends even highly recommended the version from KFC ("My family went there all the time during our trip to Seoul!"). Although I wouldn't have been opposed to breaking my patbingsu virgnity at KFC, it was probably for the best that Dan...Sweet Tooth's Guide To San Francisco's Mission District
The San Francisco Chronicle follows the “Mission Sugar Trail” around the city’s Mission District, finding all sorts of doughnuts, pies, cookies, and ice cream shops along the way....Snapshots from South Korea: Bbopgi, a Sugar and Baking Soda Candy on a Stick
Last month I visited Seoul, South Korea, for the first time. Here's a look at something I ate from my one-week trip. For more, check out the rest of my Snapshots from South Korea. I saw many street vendors selling browned sugar disks-on-sticks during my week in Seoul, but I didn't feel compelled to actually try one until one night in Jongno when, after a failed attempt to get a deep fried french fry-encrusted hot dog, I just wanted to try...something. Preferably something that wouldn't rattle my stomach at midnight (which the hot dog wouldn't have fit into, so it's probably a good thing that I couldn't find it). As the stall with freshly made sugar disks seemed non-threatening, I...Snapshots from South Korea: Hotteok, Two Ways
The popular street food hotteok (hoddeok, hodduk, or if I were to say it out loud, ho-duck) is a brown sugar, cinnamon, and nut-filled pancake-like dessert found on the streets of South Korea. The first time I came across it with Dan Gray, I didn't know what I was looking at. Me: [while passing a truck with a big sign in Korean] "Do I wanna eat whatever's in that truck?" Dan: "Yeah, it's hotteok!" Me: "OH GOD, YES." (This is how I speak in real life. I try to tone it down in my writing.) This truck in I-don't-know-where Seoul made the healthier baked version of hotteok, as opposed to the deep fried version I would come across the...Another Strawberry Idea
Earlier today I asked for strawberry breakfast ideas, but checking in on Market Scene contributor Leah Greenstein's site for the day, I think I've found a great strawberry dessert idea: Strawberry Rhubarb Clafoutis....Cake Baking is Cool, Finally!
Photograph from ginnerobot on Flickr A recent article in The Telegraph claims that cake baking is cool again, likening it to rock 'n roll. I didn't know it ever wasn't. I suppose this is saying that passions for baking and cakes are no longer restricted to fuddy-duddy spinsters, but now are cool for the masses. Hopefully this means more cake for me.
