My favorite bakery is a childhood memory. Alas Humphrey's Bakery in the Los Angeles Farmer's Market is no more, but the beautiful figure piping on their cakes is a stand-out memory. All Marshmallow Frosting and Pink Elephant cakes, it was dream!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: La Quercia

My favorite way to eat prosciutto is as a component of filling for stuffed pasta. Often I mix it with ricotta, spinach and nutmeg. Sometimes I even fry it up until it is crispy first. It is so good.

Each year for my birthday my mom ordered a chocolate cake with marshmallow icing from Humphrey's Bakery in The Los Angeles Farmers Market on Fairfax Blvd. The decorations were terrific... giant figure piped marshmallow dogs one year, pink elephants the next, but always huge and fluffy. Although Humphrey's is long gone, the memories persist. Now THAT was a birthday cake!
