Foodstuffs: Episode 1 - Luxy Cupcakes by kimberly-hickerson

My first attempt at a podcast, including an interview with Cynthia Romanos of Luxy Cupcakes and music from Crocodile.

This staple dessert gets a real twist in Oklahoma with these wonderfully creative concepts including cupcake titles like: My Bloody Valentine, Raspberry Beret and Almond Joy Division.

Enjoy some cupcakes this Saturday at the Victory Dolls Roller Derby bout!

Cookbook: A World of Cake

My new favorite cookbook: A World of Cake has adorable pictures and recipes accompanied by the history and origins of all these desserts.

I love the "family trees" in the book used to outline the origins cakes like, sponge, meringues and fried cakes.

Even if I don't get a chance to cook all 150 cakes It's fun to read about the histories behind cakes from Bangladesh, Japan, Jamacia and many more. They even have a recipe from Oklahoma for Cherokee Wild Huckleberry Cake, which I will be sure to try out this summer. (Just need to find some Huckleberries.)
