This is seriously the best cake I've ever made. The buttercream frosting is the perfect consistency, with the right amount of fluff. The sweet taste beautifully accentuates the softness of the yellow cake interior. I searched for Amy's Bread (one of my favorite bakery's) cake recipe and recreated it in my own kitchen. I still cannot believe how incredible it tastes and how precise the recipe is. I'm telling you that simply one bite is like eating pure happiness. If all of the world's problems could be solved with a special cake, it would definitely be this one.

compliments to ben baron for being a great help in baking this fine cake and eating it too.

a tribute to ice cream


Before the leaves change here in New York, I want to dedicate this post to my favorite confection—ice cream. Furthermore, I want to share a piece my fellow intern, Nicole, published in SAVEUR. Her words are absolutely perfect and because I could not express my love for this frozen treat any better, I have linked you to the website below for your enjoyment...
