<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have been part of a culinary book club for the past 20 years or so--we can never agree on just when we started or how long we've been meeting, it has been that long.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think I was just finishing up the Rambler badge in Girl Scouts. Or had I just won the spelling bee? More likely, I was doing laundry on weekends for a college-age child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But whatever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This book club has been one of the joys of my life. Eight of us meet in January to select our culinary-themed books--they can be cookbooks, biographies or autobiographies, memoirs, or foodie novels. Each person chooses a book and a month that they can host book club in their homes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The hostess makes the main dish and provides the beverages. The rest of us bring a dish. The dishes might be from the cookbook or inspired by the novel or biography.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Liz always likes to host when we can be outside. We will read a book, enjoy a gourmet potluck of dishes everyone brought, and then go outside and watch a movie on her patio. We've seen "Moonstruck" (Italian cookbooks) and "Chocolat" (<i>Chocolat</i>), among others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Roxanne introduced us all to the Pioneer Woman, the Julie and Julia blog, and a to-die-for cookie exchange.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At Gayle's condo, we compared the novels of the late, great Pat Conroy with the cookbook he wrote <i>The Pat Conroy Cookbook: Recipes and Stories of My Life</i>. And, of course, enjoyed coastal Southern food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We explored the world of Chef Thomas Keller at Kathy's house and we didn't have to book a table a year in advance!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Vicki, a food stylist, always passes along a great tip. At her house, we cooked our way through Virginia Willis' <i>Bon Appetit, Y'All</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We once read <i>Epitaph for a Peach</i>, a memoir from a Japanese-American farmer who grew fabulous peaches that were not tough enough for shipping by truck. The next month when we were reading Susan Herrmann Loomis' <i>French Farmhouse Cookbook</i>, I splurged and had some Suncrest peaches Fed-Exed as a treat and we still talk about how juice-dripping-down-your-chin delicious they were.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Karen likes to host in winter, when we can sit around a table in front of her fireplace. We usually do a comfort food book such as <i>French Comfort Food</i> or something by Julia Child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently, our group was kind enough to read advance copies of <b>The Memory of Lemon</b> and my good friend (and bbq co-author) Karen hosted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And here's how we did it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Drinks</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A signature drink for a book club is always fun and generally easy to do. Karen added a jigger or so of limoncello to a champagne flute, then topped it up with prosecco (or other sparkling wine like a Spanish cava or a French champagne). This made an easy and refreshing lemony cocktail for a pre-book club toast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For a non-alcoholic option, make Porch Swing Lemonade and serve it over ice.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What Dishes to Bring</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Even if your book club generally only does appetizers or desserts, sometimes it's fun to change things up a bit and offer a light meal. Especially in summer. That's what we did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our theme for recipes was <b>lemon</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Karen asked that we let her know what dish we were going to bring ahead of time, so we didn't end up with 8 lemon desserts. (But if your book club just serves dessert, 8 lemon desserts could be heaven or over-kill.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can assign recipes and e-mail them to club members or trust members to choose and prepare good ones. Or have people bring prepared food if they don't cook. You can ask or be surprised. It's your book club!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Book club is also a good excuse to use that china or glassware you've been wanting to pull out. You know your book club members will appreciate a lovely table or an artistic gesture. Karen used the pink Depression glass lunch set passed down from her mother-in-law.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We usually serve buffet-style, as this makes it easier on the hostess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Drool Alert:</span></b> Here is what we had. . .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Liz brought a shredded raw carrot and raw beet salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette made with walnut oil from Virginia Willis' <i>Bon Appetit, Y'All</i>. Liz brought the carrots and beets separately, in sealable plastic bags, to keep the colors intact for as long as possible. Once you toss the salad, the colors start to blend, but it's still beautiful, don't you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This past weekend, I was reminded again of the power of synchronicity or that magical coming-together of "your wish is my command."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wanted to make a fruit crisp for a family dinner. When I went out to the backyard, I saw that along the fence, volunteer mulberry trees were full of berries. Wild, organic, free, and convenient. Perfect! Thank you, Universe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've picked mulberries since I was a kid at camp. Years later, when I was working on <span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Prairie Home Cooking</b></span>, I gathered them to test a Russian Mennonite recipe from central Kansas, which became the fruit crisp below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ripe mulberries get squishy fast, so you don't often see them at farmer's markets. But with a little luck, you can find them if you tune in your radar.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and writing a flashback about The Singing Lady, a woman who had a children's radio show out of Chicago, I happened upon a vintage cereal box from the 1930s with a Singing Lady story on the back. I got <b><span style="color: #e06666;">that</span></b> feeling right under my heart that I was on the right track. <i>Keep going</i>, the universe seemed to say.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The same thing happened when I was writing The Memory of Lemon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was writing a flashback about John James Audubon's time in Cincinnati. I was also reading first-person accounts of passenger pigeons and Carolina parroquets that were plentiful in 1820's Ohio, but now extinct. And I happened upon this Audubon print:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just what I needed--a look at Carolina parroquets in all their glittery plumage. Again, "<i>Keep going</i>" whispered to me at a time when a writer can feel like it's all too much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So I wasn't too surprised when the thing I really wanted just turned up in a very explainable, yet very magical way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mulberries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our outdoor
kitchens today may be stainless steel and the open fire may come from hardwood
lump charcoal or a propane tank. But our love for French-inspired food continues.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Barbecuing
with a French accent is easy. Simply pair a grilled Brie and tapenade-stuffed
chicken breast with a classic bistro salad, a baguette and a bottle of wine or
a cocktail. Stir up an easy Bearnaise Sauce before you throw the steak on the
coals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Slice the new
“it” vegetable—cauliflower—into “paillards” or steaks to grill to a delicious
turn. You can’t believe how great cauliflower can taste with a few grill marks
and a little Orange-Olive Pistou, a south-of-France riff on pesto or salsa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Aioli is a garlicky mayonnaise from Provence used
to accompany fish and shellfish, but we love it with grilled salmon or a
platter of grilled vegetables. The trick to making light, fluffy aioli in a
food processor is using the whole egg instead of just egg yolks. If the food
safety of raw eggs is a concern for you, use pasteurized eggs in their shells
or 1/2 cup (125ml) pasteurized liquid whole egg.<span class="RedTag"> </span><span class="RedTag"><span style="color: windowtext;">This is a milder aioli with a hint
of lemon.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">French flatbreads are deliciously simple. In the
north, the Alsatian <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tarte flambée</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">flammekuchen</i> is a thin flatbread made
with yeast dough and topped with crème fraiche, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lardons</i> (bacon), and onion. In the south, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fougasse</i> has the filling rolled into the dough and is shaped in a
leaf form. We have taken the yeast dough, rolled it thin, and then grilled it
to await the French toppings of grilled asparagus, lemon aioli, feta, and
pistachios. (The French feta cheese is mild and creamy and usually made from
excess sheep’s milk that is not used for making Roquefort.) With a flute of
Champagne, life is good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1 pound (450 g) prepared pizza dough<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Olive oil for brushing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1 pound (450 g) fresh asparagus<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4 ounces (125 g) French feta cheese, crumbled<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1/4 cup (30 g) shelled, roasted, and chopped pistachios<span class="RedTag"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Prepare a medium-hot indirect fire in your grill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Divide the dough into four parts. Pat or roll each
part into a 6-inch (15-cm) oval on a floured surface. Brush both sides with
olive oil and place on a baking sheet to take to the grill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Trim the asparagus, brush with olive oil, season
with salt and pepper, and take out to the grill. Place the asparagus spears
perpendicular to the grill rack. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often,
until the asparagus is tender-crisp and has charred a bit. Transfer to a
cutting board and chop into 2-inch-long (5 cm) diagonal pieces. Set aside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Place the dough ovals on the grill grates. Grill
for 2 to 3 minutes or until the underside has good grill marks. Transfer the
dough ovals to the indirect side, grilled side up. Dollop Lemon Aioli on the
top of each grilled dough oval and spread it quickly with the back of the
spoon. Scatter with asparagus, and then sprinkle with feta and pistachios.
Close the grill lid, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until the feta is
beginning to melt and the dough has cooked through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Serve warm and pass the remaining Lemon Aioli at
the table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

seen before flocked in, their faces showing a longing you never saw for cake.
People’s eyes lit up for a cupcake; cake seemed to signal celebration. But
their eyes got filmy, watery, misty when we handed them a slice of pie. Pie was
memory. Nostalgia. Pie made people recall simpler, maybe happier times.”</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b><br />

The look of <a href="https://fabricantdedouceurs.laduree.com/en_int/">La Durée</a>, a Parisian tea salon, and their brilliant use of color. In a previous blog post <a href="http://alfrescofoodandlifestyle.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-cake-therapist-art-of-wedding-cake.html">"The Art of a Wedding Cake Tasting," </a>I described how I made pastry chef Neely's ritual of a wedding cake tasting very special after visiting--and sampling from-- Andrea Adams Britt's lovely <a href="http://www.kcclassiccakes.com/">wedding cake bakery</a> for my own daughter's wedding. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, why not Pie Night for Neely's bakery? The reason is that she has to come up with pies and tarts that will taste great, hold up, and please the picky palates of a society mother and her folksinger daughter. And I imagined a chorus line of pies.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I was in college in Ohio, my parents bought a second home across the Ohio River in Augusta, Kentucky. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You had to take a ferry to get there, and I remember the feeling of the river running beneath my feet as I stood on the deck. The Augusta skyline got closer and closer. I felt like I had left my old life behind and stepped into a place where time had stood much stiller. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the wide front porch of the Old Methodist Church, built in 1819, which my parents had converted into a two-bedroom home, I could watch the river in all its moods--somber gray in winter, sparkling green in sunlight, muddy and turbulent during a storm. My mother planted an herb garden full of old-fashioned favorites like blue-starred borage, Rober's Lemon Rose scented geranium, medicinal horehound.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And so with a different kind of toil--fingers on a keyboard--I wove stories together. Neely, the intuitive pastry chef, who tries to come to terms with the father who abandoned her and to a dissolution of her marriage. A new love trying to bloom. The Wanderers and Healers who have something to reveal to her as well as a recalcitrant bride and her society mother. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My daughter Sarah was getting married as I was finishing this book (no resemblance to the mother/daughter drama in the book, thank goodness!). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Her ring was created with family diamonds, passed down through generations, and we imagined all the women in our family coming together, in spirit, to wish her a happy life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Isn't that what we all want? To find the place where we belong and bloom there.</span><br />

inserted near the edge of the pie comes out clean. Cool before serving.</span></span></h5>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of us who grew up in the United States have memories of eating Twinkies, those cream-filled cylindrical sponge cakes made by Hostess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the run-up to <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The Memory of Lemon</span></b> (June 14, 2016), I'm counting down with my favorite citrus-flavored recipes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Back to Twinkies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently David Leite of Leite's Culinaria featured a post on <a href="http://leitesculinaria.com/99952/recipes-homemade-hostess-cupcakes.html#4mC0G1MQMh2Kg7rI.01">Homemade Hostess Cupcakes Recipe</a> by Jennifer Steinhauer, and they look fabulous. Wouldn't it be fun to get with a friend and make both Hostess Cupcakes and Twinkies for a gathering?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="apple-style-span">People were in a panic when Hostess Twinkies
suddenly disappeared from grocery store shelves in 2013. Twinkies debuted in
1930 with a banana cream filling that was switched to vanilla after World War
II. </span>I loved Twinkies as a kid,
but as an adult, I want more flavor and better ingredients. <span class="apple-style-span">I came across Alison Okabayashi of <a href="http://www.prettypleasesf.com/">Pretty Please Bakeshop</a> in San Francisco who creates her own versions, which she calls “Twinks,” in
upscale flavors of red velvet, pumpkin, and raspberry. </span>They’re part of
her “Nostalgics” line that also includes Ding Dongs and Whoopie Pies. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Inspired
by Allison’s creations, these Homemade Twinkies deliver on flavor with an orange glaze, a
tender citrus-scented chiffon cake, and a fluffy filling. I had one wrapped up
to give to a friend, but during a bad patch of winter weather, I forgot it in
the back seat of my car for a week. When I unwrapped it and took a bite, just
to see, it was still moist and delicious in true—but preservative-free—Twinkie
style. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the Twinkie Chiffon Cake, in the bowl of an
electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar almost until stiff
peaks form—the peak should just turn over as you remove the beaters, about 6
minutes; set the bowl aside. In another large bowl, sift together the flour,
sugar, baking powder, and salt; set the bowl aside. In a separate small bowl,
stir together the cold water, oil, lemon zest and juice, and egg yolks, and stir
this mixture into the dry ingredients to make a smooth batter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pour the batter over the beaten egg whites, one-third
at a time, folding the batter into the egg whites with a rubber spatula, using
a figure-8 pattern and scooping up from the bottom of the bowl until the batter
is evenly colored. Fill each cylindrical depression in the canoe pan half full with

when lightly touched and are a golden color, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan
from the oven and turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Re-spray the canoe
pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Let the Twinks cool

almost in half lengthwise, like you would a hot dog bun. Spread about 1 to 2
tablespoons of filling on the bottom half and sandwich the top and bottom
halves together. Place each filled Twinkie on a sheet of aluminum foil or
parchment paper for easier cleanup. Brush each with the glaze and let sit for 30
minutes to dry. Serve the Twinkies right away or store them in an airtight
container at room temperature for up to 1 week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pound cake
comes to the American dessert repertoire from European roots. The French call
it “quatre quarts” or four fourths. The British just knew that a pound of four
different ingredients—butter, flour, eggs, and sugar—was needed to make this
cake and named it accordingly. With lemon in the batter and a tracery of lemon-scented leaves,
this moist and fragrant pound cake is wonderful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The new Country Living Magazine is devoted to the idea of "porching." (I can't tell you how many times auto-correct has tried to change that to "porting.")</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's right. <i>Porching</i>. As in having a porch, decorating your porch, inviting friends and family over to your porch, and enjoying quiet moments there yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Serenbe, a fairly new planned community near Atlanta, Georgia, is known as the Porch Capital of the United States because this architectural feature is a prominent one in their home designs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So what's the deal with the porch? Why bring it back?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With the advent of air conditioning in the 1960s, we gained a lot of comfort but lost a lot of socialization. People used to gather on their front porches during hot nights in the summer, sitting in a porch swing and drinking a cool and refreshing beverage as they talked to neighbors who walked by or came up for a visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Face-to-face. Imagine that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A porch is public <i>and </i>private</span><span style="font-family: '"trebuchet ms"', sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can sit out on the front porch and read a good book or two. . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. . . and people see you and <i>sigh</i>, thinking "that's the good life." (As well as "I have to buy that book. ")</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With or without a porch, you can still channel that easy, breezy, outdoors-but-civilized feeling with Porch Swing Lemonade.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Made with a fresh herb syrup straight from your garden and fresh lemons, it is flavor worlds away from that canister of powdery lemonade mix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can chop a little rhubarb and cook it in the syrup to make it pink, float fresh fruit in your lemonade, or serve it in an old-fashioned glass crock and garnish with more fresh herbs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wouldn’t it be nice to sit on the porch swing
and visit with your neighbors, sipping a homemade lemonade? You really can sit
back and relax if you make the syrups a few weeks or days ahead. Squeeze the
fresh lemon juice right before you want to serve the drink. Stir it all
together in a pitcher or portable container, and serve over ice. Adapted from <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Heartland:

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the syrup, combine the sugar, water and
herbs in a large microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave on High for 3 to
4 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture steep for 20 to 30
minutes to extract the best flavor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strain the mixture into a bowl and let cool.

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Day Four: <span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">Sweet Dumpling Tartlets with Maple Custard</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">If pumpkin is the flavor of <i>coming home</i>, what does that mean when you've lived all over, when your family is scattered?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">Where, exactly, is <i>home</i>?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">My mother just passed away, peacefully in her sleep, after a long illness. She and my dad had been married 66 years. My sister and I gravitate between crying and then laughing at stupid family stories. We know we were lucky to have her as long as we did. Even though we knew she was very frail, we still weren't quite ready to let her go. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">But she is going home to join loved ones who made that same journey long before. That's what I want to believe. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">The last time I wondered about the idea of home was when my son left for college and I was an empty-nester. The theme of home threads through a cookbook I was writing at the time, <b>Prairie Home Breads</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">Now I think that home is in the flavor of something baked, something that can lift your spirits when you need that most. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">And as The Cake Therapist reminds me, </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 32px;">spice is the flavor of grief because it's the flavor that lasts longest. As friends and family have shared their own losses, I am beginning to understand that there are some things you just don't ever get over. And it's okay if you don't.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">Friends who have lost a parent tell me that even years later, some little thing will trigger a memory and the grief will be fresh all over again. I believe it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">I've always thought that food is another way to tell a story. Although I didn't want this particular story, this is the one I have right now, about comfort in a time of sorrow and finding new meaning in the world <i>home</i>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">I'm putting my cookbook, <b>Bake Happy</b>, into practice and missing my mom.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">Sweet Dumpling Tartlets with Maple Custard</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Adapted from Bake Happy by Judith Fertig.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A tart shell is meant to be sturdy enough to encase a filling during baking, yet attractive on its own. But who says a tart shell </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">has</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> to be pastry?</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">If we like desserts that make their own sauces, then how about a vegetable that turns into a sweet tart, complete with its own shell? Sweet Dumpling squashes (in the pumpkin family), with their striped exterior and a sunset-colored interior, are too beautiful to chop into oblivion, so let them be the star of the show. Boiling down the maple syrup first helps intensify its flavor in the custard filling. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Whole Wheat Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Crowns</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have always loved mom and pop bakeries. As a child growing up in the Cincinnati area, little did I know that I was in mom and pop bakery heaven. Cincinnati still has bakeries with coffee cake schedules, so you know which day of the week you can get your favorite flavor. They still offer cinnamon rolls shaped like crowns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So it's no wonder that when it came time to write my first novel, I set it in a bakery. And what's even better about fiction is that I could put whatever goodies I wanted in the bakery display cases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">The Cake Therapist</span></b> just had to offer a really great cinnamon roll at her fictional bakery, Rainbow Cake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happily, I had written a cinnamon roll cookbook a few years earlier. (It's a little book, which makes it great for gift-giving. Maybe add a jar of Vietnamese cinnamon, and you've got a charming hostess or holiday gift.) Fifty different cinnamon rolls, all delicious. And there's one that is perfect for fall.</span><br />

<b style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whole Wheat Pumpkin-Pecan Cinnamon Crowns</b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> start with a whole wheat dough, then gets a pumpkin pie filling with cinnamon pecan streusel on the top. Instead of rolling the dough up into a cylinder, you roll it out and cut it into squares. You put each square of dough into a muffin cup, and then dollop in the filling and top with streusel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These crowns would be wonderful for a fall weekend breakfast or for Thanksgiving. I would make the dough the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator. In the morning, I would let it come to room temperature, then make and bake the crowns. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am doing a video class for <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/clp/contextual-guestHome-test-1?ext=SEM_G_General_Brand&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=SEM&utm_campaign=Keyword%20Targeting-Course%20Activity&adwad_id=45817420177&adwadgr_id=8631586297&gclid=CjwKEAjwhdOwBRDFsYTfhvzX1hYSJAAfCUcLa1KyXvqGY1vmCWr26643gwpGbUpQPNNhJXnznbsWMRoCnRXw_wcB&adwmtch_id=e&adwtarget_id=kwd-35829389512&adwd_id=c&initialPage=true">Craftsy</a>, based in Denver, that will be up and running in early December 2015.

addition of whole wheat flour gives these rolls a slight more textured, nutty
flavor. Let the dough sit for 30 minutes after mixing, as the whole wheat flour
takes longer to absorb liquids. Vital wheat gluten or whole grain dough
improver can be found in the baking section of better grocery stores (Bob’s Red
Mill) or online at places like www.kingarthur.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

teaspoons (10 mL) vital wheat gluten or whole grain dough improver<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 1/2
teaspoons (12 mL) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>instant or bread
machine yeast<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. In a 4-cup (1L) measuring cup, combine the
water, honey, vegetable oil, and salt. Microwave on High for 1 minute or until
warm. Whisk in the eggs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the
paddle attachment , place the flour and yeast. Add the liquid ingredients. Mix
on low speed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time,
until the dough forms a soft ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl,
about 5 to 6 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Remove the paddle attachment and switch to
the dough hook. With the mixer on low, start kneading the dough with the dough
hook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sprinkle with a tablespoon of
flour, every minute or so, to keep the dough from sticking to the sides of the
bowl. When the dough is smooth, not sticky, and springs back when you press it
with your finger, you’ve kneaded enough (about 3 to 5 minutes). Let the dough rest in the bowl for 30 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. Place the dough
in a large, oiled mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm
place at room temperature (about 70 to 75 °F /21 to
24°C) for 45 to 60 minutes or until it has almost doubled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At this point, you can refrigerate the dough overnight, let the dough come to room temperature, and make the crowns. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or, proceed with the crowns right away.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We're still exploring all the ways that, according to The Cake Therapist, pumpkin makes us think about <i>coming home</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And what says <i>home</i> better than your own backyard? (Just ask Dorothy of Kansas in <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And your grill?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There's a way to grill pumpkin that takes it in a decidedly savory direction.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You cut it into wedges, baste it with garlic oil, and grill-roast the slices in disposable</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">aluminum pans with your grill lid closed. Turn once halfway through and you've got a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">fabulous vegetable dish with the flavor of the grill--and the Mediterranean.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What the village baker would do in the south of France, we can do in our own backyards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In French markets
in autumn, you will see huge <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">potirons</i>
such as the Rouge Vif d’Etampes, known as the Cinderella pumpkin because it
looks like her carriage, brought to life by her fairy godmother. There, they
sell slices from a whole pumpkin that you can bring to life by roasting them at
home. Here, you can simply buy a small sugar or pie pumpkin, cut it into
slices, and then grill-roast this simple yet satisfying dish that will
completely change how you think about pumpkin. It’s easier to cut the pumpkin
into wedges first, and then use a sturdy vegetable peeler or a paring knife to
peel the wedges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sizzled on the grill, warmed with spice, sweetened with maple syrup or honey, or accented with citrus, pumpkin stars in dishes I like to make in the fall. I think a craving for pumpkin is a craving for the comforts of home, and it usually starts for me as the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In October, pumpkins are plentiful at farmer's markets and grocery store parking lots. So now is the time to scoop up your favorite variety and keep it in a cool, dry place to use later on. If you try to find a fresh pumpkin right before Thanksgiving, you might not find one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To keep things fresh and interesting--in your baking and in your life--try a new pumpkin variety this year. I suggest looking for the Cinderella pumpkin also known by its French heirloom name Rouge Vif d'Etampes. As you can see, it looks just like the body of Cinderella's coach that her fairy godmother brought to life.</span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Everybody loves a Cinderella story<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.</b> This tale of the persecuted heroine,
transformed—can’t we relate?—has popped up in 345 variants around the world,
according to folklorists who count those things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one we’re most familiar with is the 1697
Charles Perrault tale with a fairy godmother, mice and birds who help out, and
a pumpkin that turns into a carriage. The pumpkin of choice is a French
heirloom, Rouge Vif d’Etampes, also known as the Cinderella pumpkin. Not only
does this vivid orange, squatty pumpkin make a good fairytale carriage, but it
also makes an elegant tart with a couture color. To me, this tart compares to
traditional pumpkin pie as a glass slipper compares to a garden clog. Look for
this pumpkin before Halloween, then keep it in a cool, dry place until you need
it, or make the pumpkin puree right away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will have more pumpkin puree than you need for one tart, but you can
always freeze it for up to 3 months, and use it in Marbled Pumpkin Brownies
(stay tuned for an upcoming Pumpkin Day) or other dishes calling for pumpkin puree. If you can’t find
Cinderella pumpkin, simply wave your kitchen wand and turn a small sugar or pie
pumpkin or a butternut squash into what you need. A scattering of clear toffee
shards on the finished tart adds that final “dressmaker detail.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As kids, growing up in Ohio, my sister and I would enjoy after-dinner coffee. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We weren't into sophistication, though. We were into the flavor combination of cookies and coffee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our parents would pour us each a very little cup of coffee and then add milk and a sprinkling of sugar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then the main attraction--Oreos for dunking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to create a wonderful setting in which Neely, the specially-gifted pastry chef, could showcase her flavor magic for wedding cakes. I imagined her having an artist's palette on which she placed little cups of fillings and frostings. She would then give mothers and brides a taste of what their signature wedding cake would taste like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this is what I wrote in <b>The Cake Therapist</b>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>"<span style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;">My front parlor was simple yet
sophisticated, with plaster walls painted a soft French gray, the woodwork a
subtle ivory, and a few landscape paintings that I loved. Here we could close
the painted shutters halfway to block off the sights and sounds of Benson
Street. I wanted my potential clients to feel that they were in another world.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>A gas fire in the white marble Victorian
hearth warmed the room against the chilly afternoon and cast the bookcases into
shadow. The round table with its heavy cloth in nubby French linen was set with
a coffee service and a French press coffee pot. A wooden tray shaped like an
artist’s palette—one I had specially made—held small clear cups of
pastel-colored fillings and frostings. Miniature cupcakes in their paper frills
filled a tiered stand."</b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sarah liked the stucco finish of the buttercream frosting and the more rustic-looking, sort of architectural succulent plants (like hens and chickens) decorating the cake. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">We thought about using the vintage cake topper from my parents' 1948 wedding, but it was too fragile to sit on top of the cake (and be man-handled by servers later). This cake topper, however, has had a presence at all of our family weddings (just not on top of the cake).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">And when it all came together--five different layers and flavors--it told a story of love and commitment, of two people starting a life together.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">And you can make it taste <i>really</i> wonderful with basil-infused whipped cream, which is easy to do. You just warm cream, add basil leaves, cover and let the basil infuse with the cream. Strain out the leaves, chill the cream, then whip it when you're ready to serve.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you're yearning for spring or want to cool off on a hot June day, the Cake Therapist has just the dessert. In the novel, my pastry chef character Neely features blueberry and lemon as signature flavors for March. She knows we're all yearning for warm weather after the bluster and cold of winter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But here it is June. It's 95 degrees in the shade in Kansas City. Blueberry season. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I want a</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> fresh-tasting lemon and blueberry cake roll with summery seersucker stripes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have made my fair share of cake rolls over the years. Some very time consuming, some that stuck to the pan, some that wouldn't roll up. For a supposedly easy cake, there were issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Until I found this one.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vkesVe-VRAE/VYgrda4ugoI/AAAAAAAABVE/Jtw8Dzs4cpo/s1600/SeersuckerCakeRoll.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vkesVe-VRAE/VYgrda4ugoI/AAAAAAAABVE/Jtw8Dzs4cpo/s400/SeersuckerCakeRoll.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />This recipe is the essence of cake therapy, of baking happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You start out with a template recipe that really works. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You choose flavors that convey easy-going, fresh, summer--fresh lemon and blueberry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You add color and whimsy (check out those seersucker stripes!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then you invite people over or take the cake roll to a meeting for others to enjoy. </span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This cake roll is also easy to make, in stages, and to roll up. The cake itself (based on the Japanese Deco Roll cake) is very supple, but the trick is to following the timing exactly—7 minutes in the oven, 5 minutes to cool before spreading on the filling and rolling this up. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Make this a polka dot cake, if you like, by piping dots instead of stripes. The only tricky part of this recipe is that the whole baking sheet needs to go in your freezer for the stripes to set for 30 minutes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is a fun <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltLGLRG_S7s">video</a> from blogger Raiza Costa on how to make the cake roll (she did a Valentine's Day version, but the process is the same). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">I have adapted it for Bake Happy, and you'll be happy to make it, show it off, and, even better, taste it!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During
the holidays, some bakers like to make a pumpkin cake roll or the fancier <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bûche de Noël,</i> or Yule log cake roll.
But there is a lot to be said for a summery version, too, in stripes of pale
yellow and deeper blue. With a blueberry-studded lemon-scented filling, this
cake has the look and taste of summer. Adapted from a recipe idea from Raiza Costa, who
blogs at Dulce Delight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a piece of parchment paper on a flat work surface and dust with confectioner’s
sugar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For
the Blueberry Stripes, whisk the egg whites, sugar, butter, and flour together
until smooth and thick. Color with gel food coloring until you get a dark blue.
Put the mixture in a squirt bottle with a 1/8 to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1/4-inch opening at the tip. Squirt squiggly
blueberry stripes, about 1 inch apart, across the short side and down the
length of the prepared baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer
and let the stripes set for 30 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When
ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Beat the egg whites with the
cream of tartar until foamy in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat on
medium speed until soft peaks form. Then add half of the sugar (5
tablespoons/75 ml), 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed, until white,
billowy peaks form. Set aside.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, with the remaining 4 tablespoons
sugar, melted butter, and flour together until smooth. Add half of the beaten
egg whites and fold them in with a spatula or large metal spoon until the color
is uniform. Add the rest of the beaten egg whites and fold until the color is
uniform.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the baking sheet with the blueberry stripes from the freezer. Spoon the cake
batter over the stripes in a thin layer. Smooth the batter with an offset
spatula or flour scraper. Using your forefinger, make a clean channel along the
perimeter of the cake batter so that the batter does not touch the sides of the
pan.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Immediately
invert the cake onto the confectioner’s sugar-dusted parchment paper. Peel off
the parchment paper from the top of the cake and discard. Place a new sheet of
parchment paper over the cake. Holding the cake at both ends, carefully and
quickly turn the cake over again and peel off the parchment so that the
confectioner’s sugar-dusted side is up. Let cool for 5 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spread

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">“There has to be a better way!” I said to myself. I was at a brainstorming meeting. To help us along, the group brought out a plastic tray full of pallid sugar cookies that tasted as uninteresting as they looked. One tiny bite and I was all out of ideas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">I went home and took out my little bottle of Aura Cacia “Creative Juice,” a blend of non-culinary essential oils that includes bergamot, citrus, and cardamom. I opened the bottle and sniffed its wonderful aroma. The light bulb went on, and the result is these soft sugar cookies, flavored with cardamom and topped with an orange glaze and a sweet gremolata of citrus zest, fresh mint or orange mint, and natural sugar (which has a larger crystal than granulated sugar). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">The Cake Therapist would definitely approve.</span><br />

aromatizing gremolata with citrus zest, orange mint, and natural granulated
sugar that practically shouts “fresh and new.” The cardamom in the cookie
itself follows and then lingers on the taste buds a bit. If the ideas don’t
flow after that, it’s not my fault.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I get a little teary-eyed just thinking about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Planning this wedding has been such an unexpected gift. Not that the wedding was unexpected or the groom or the day or the dress. What has surprised and delighted me is the pleasure my daughter and I have both have taken in the planning. No hissy fits. No spats (except over her desire--nixed by me--to wear Thom's canvas shoes under her exquisite lace dress). But we joke about that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have new admiration for my daughter's gift of looking at things in a clear, what's-important-here? fashion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The time we have spent together working on this big project is precious to me. We have always loved and appreciated each other, but planning the wedding has brought this into sharper focus but also diffused this into a happy, golden light that I'd love to capture and keep. But I know it's fleeting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Her life will change. She'll be married. Have a bigger house some day. And children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this time, for me, is like a sunny summer's day when everything is possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Can that feeling be translated into flavor? I think so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It reminds me of a crucial scene in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Cake-Therapist-Judith-Fertig/dp/0425277321">The Cake Therapist</a> (debuts June 2) in which Neely brings three people together who knew each other in childhood but have been estranged. It's a taste of the strawberry cake she brought that takes them back to those sunny, summer days and unlocks the past.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I was working on The Cake Therapist, I was also working on a cookbook, Bake Happy. So when I wondered what a sunny summer day might taste like, I went into the kitchen and conjured the flavor of sun-kissed, juicy berries with a slight floral aroma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strawberries with a little sugar and just a touch of rosewater to bring out their berry-ness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can make the one-bowl cake like this one, above, and dress the cake casually with more sweetened and rose watered berries and a little fresh mint or orange mint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or you can make it more traditionally, as the cake on the cover of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bake-Happy-Desserts-Fillings-Frostings/dp/0762453796">Bake Happy.</a></span><br />

aromatic syrup adds <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">frais de bois</i>

raspberries, black raspberries, and blackberries. It looks like a lot of

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You
might think that adding rosewater to fruit might result in an experience like “being
pressed to your auntie’s perfumed cleavage,” as Niki Segnit so memorably writes
in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Flavor Thesaurus: Pairings,
Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook</i>. But you would be wrong. With
strawberries, raspberries, and red currants, rosewater adds “an unfathomable
background note,” Segnit explains. To me, the combined flavor is of sun-warmed
berries, picked ripe and eaten on the spot.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Made
with an easy yet delicious one-bowl yellow cake, this birthday cake is the
traditional American layer confection with a twist. Strawberry syrup colors as
well as flavors the buttercream frosting, evoking lazy summer childhood days.
You can also make a blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, or passion fruit version
simply by using a different syrup and fruit for the filling. Add colored
sprinkles to the top and sides, unfurl a homemade cake bunting across the top
of the cake, and the kid in anyone will be happy. Or, if you wish, double the amount of berries and keep sliced strawberries to use as the cake topping, sweetened with a little sugar and flavored with a little drop of rosewater.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">The Cake Therapist,</span></b> my first novel, debuts on June 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a little taste to whet your appetite. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spoiler Alert. . . This novel is like a sweet cupcake with a dark, secret filling. It's a story told in the present tense, with <i>flashbacks</i>. But rest assured, it all comes together at the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="03COBodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The windows at Macy’s were dressed in the usual
high-wattage holiday fanfare, and the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza
twinkled as valiantly as ever. But for me, December had been gray and blah,
like suffering through the end of a cold when you couldn’t taste anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="03COBodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Instead of hurrying down Fifth Avenue with shopping bags
full of gifts, I was hauling my life away from Brooklyn in a rental truck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span class="ITAL"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Good-bye, New York.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span class="ITAL"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slow and steady, careful not to take sharp turns, I made my
way out of the city. Past the brownstones in my neighborhood and the concrete,
glass, and steel downtown. Past the stone barns and Victorian farmhouses in
Pennsylvania. Up and down the stark hills of West Virginia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I finally hit I-70 at the Ohio border in the ink-black
night, I pulled off in a truck stop, just to rest my eyes, and ended up
sleeping for a few fitful hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I woke up, groggy and stiff, the light was gray again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I filled the gas tank and poured bad truck-stop coffee, the
kind that was so weak that someone could have just murmured “coffee” over a cup
of hot water and it would have tasted the same. But it was better than nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the next Starbucks in St. Clairsville, I got a
triple-shot latte and one of their cinnamon scones. Even the jolt of coffee and
spice couldn’t nudge my taste meter off “Dull.” I guess I had to accept that
for now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Driving through the rolling farmland of central Ohio, I let
my mind wander as I kept my eyes on the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It wasn’t often that I had difficulty tasting <span class="ITAL">something</span>. Flavor was the way people like me made sense of
the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We knew that there was a flavor that explained you—even to
yourself. A flavor whose truth you recognized when you tasted it. A flavor that
answered the question you didn’t know you had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Perhaps it was a voluptuous vanilla that your sharp-edged
self could sink into like a pillow. Or homesick pomegranate, each seed like a
ruby slipper that would take you back to the place where you were loved and
where people had missed you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That’s where I was going. If only I could taste it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">

knew I was only two hours from home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unlike other aging factory towns around it, Millcreek
Valley was reinventing itself as a bridal district. Now in the small 1840s
brick cottages, two-story Italianate storefronts, shotgun-style houses, and a
smattering of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745" style="mso-comment-date: 20141023T1306; mso-comment-reference: CE_1;">nondescript</a> sixties
modern brick-and-chrome buildings, you could find lingerie, bridal gown,
tuxedo, and honeymoon travel shops.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Wedding planners like my high school
friend, Roshonda Taylor, had customers who traveled from three states away. The
old brick five-and-dime had become an upscale boutique, selling Vera Wang and
Monique Lhuillier gowns.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the bridal business, everyone knew that December was the
biggest month for engagements. In January, those happy brides-to-be would start
planning their weddings, so we had to be open by the first Saturday, when
hordes of mothers and daughters would crowd the sidewalks, shivering from shop
to shop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And the second reason? I needed a project. A big project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anything to help me forget I had nowhere else to go and
nothing else to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I finally pulled up to the stoplight on Millcreek
Valley Road, ready to turn down Benson Street, I gave myself a long, hard stare
in the rearview mirror.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had inherited my father’s dark auburn hair along with his
green eyes. But I also got my mother’s unruly curl, so my hair had a tendency
to escape a topknot or ponytail every chance it got. Today was no exception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was only thirty-two, but I thought I looked older. Much
older. Sleeping in a truck stop in the middle of nowhere on a cold night will
do that to you. I pinched my cheeks for color and put on a quick swath of
lipstick. I was no primper, but there was something really depressing about
looking as drab as you felt. As my aunt Helen often said, “Fake it till you
make it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That was the corollary to Millcreek Valley’s unwritten
rule: Work hard and don’t complain. People here put a premium on niceness and disapproved
of moaning and groaning. Especially on Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I pulled into the parking lot of my soon-to-be bakery
right next to my soon-to-be house, I saw Roshonda across the street, opening
the front door of Jump the Broom. I waved at her, thankful that my good friend
was now my business neighbor, then jumped out of the truck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We met in the middle of Benson Street in a big hug, then
walked <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745" style="mso-comment-date: 20141023T1306; mso-comment-reference: CE_3;">arm</a> in arm
back to the parking lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Well, you still look like the same Claire O’Neil I knew in
high school, thank goodness. I’m so glad you didn’t go all big-city glam on me.
I really missed you, sweetie,” she said, holding on tight. “And now that you’re
back for good, we can remind the people in this one-horse town how
sophisticated thinkers have fun.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Yes, of course.” I nodded with mock solemnity. “Like the
time we wrapped ourselves in Christmas tree lights, plugged ourselves in, and
danced in front of my house?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“People still keep asking me, ‘When is the next Festival of
the Dancing Lights?<span style="letter-spacing: 1.0pt;">’”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Strike out, fly out, just get yourself out; <span class="ITAL">then</span> you get a cookie. That was the deal.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’m surprised <span class="ITAL">we</span> didn’t get kicked
out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“We saved that for later. We can get ourselves kicked out
of lots of places now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We both laughed and knew that wasn’t about to happen. We
talked a good game, but we were both Goody <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745" style="mso-comment-date: 20141023T1306; mso-comment-reference: CE_4;">Two</a>-shoes
at heart. When other people in your family chose to be bad, somebody else had
to be good. That didn’t mean we didn’t have a yen for bad boys who always
messed us around. You’d think Goody Two-shoes would be smarter than that, but
then they’d have to call us Smarty Two-shoes, and have you ever heard of one?
No.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I got you a welcome-home gift,” Roshonda said. “It was too
heavy to carry, so I had them put it on your front porch.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We walked past the bakery to Gran’s old house, the one that
I was fixing up for myself since Gran now lived in Mount Saint Mary’s memory
care wing. A fresh coat of dark gray paint and cream trim had the shotgun-style
house looking pretty good. I spotted Roshonda’s gift on the wide front porch,
right by the black front door—one of the concrete geese that everyone around
here wanted as yard art so they could dress them up in outfits for almost any
occasion or season. This one wore a chef’s hat and a baker’s apron. There was a
gaggle of concrete geese in the parking lot of Hodapp Hardware on Millcreek
Valley Road keeping watch over the town, but none of them ever laid that golden
egg as far as I could tell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybe mine would be different. I checked underneath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Bad news. No egg,” I told Roshonda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She looked, too. “Good news. No goose poop.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I unlocked the front door. Roshonda and I went inside the
house, which was just waiting to be filled with all the stuff I had in my

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We walked from the front parlor to the dining room and back
to the kitchen, then upstairs to see the two bedrooms and home office on the
second floor. The new bed and upholstered headboard that I had ordered online
were already set up in the largest bedroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It’s beautiful. Fresh and quiet and calm. It feels good in
this house,” Roshonda said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I can’t wait to move in. Gavin did a great job.” Our high
school friend Gavin Nichols had begun his career in the art department of a
large advertising agency in Chicago and then quickly charmed his way into a
coveted in-house marketing vice presidency at Quaker. But, after spending some
time climbing the executive tree in brand management, Gavin began to feel hamstrung
by corporate life. A couple of years ago, he announced to us he was chucking
everything to start his own space planning and interior design business back in
Millcreek Valley. Oatmeal’s loss was my gain. Of course, the rumor was that
Gavin had also left a serious relationship. Still, we knew not to pry; he’d
tell us if he wanted us to know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I called Gavin to tell him I was closing things up in
New York, he shouldered the massive renovation of Gran’s house without missing
a beat. And he was also helping me revamp the Rainbow Cake building. I couldn’t
wait to see that, either.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Let’s bring in a few things, just to get you started.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Roshonda helped me unload the handcart from the back of the
truck and wheel a few boxes into the kitchen. She also wheeled in my two
suitcases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“When are the guys coming to move you in?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Not for another two hours.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Well, then let’s take a look at the bakery, shall we?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although Gavin had texted me photos as the work had
progressed, it still wasn’t like seeing it in person. I hoped it looked as
great as my house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The simple truth was that I owed Gavin, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745" style="mso-comment-date: 20141023T1306; mso-comment-reference: CE_5;">big</a><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"><a class="msocomanchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745#_msocom_5" id="_anchor_5" language="JavaScript" name="_msoanchor_5">]</a><!--[endif]--><span style="display: none; mso-hide: all;"><span style="mso-special-character: comment;"> </span></span></span></span>-time.
While my New York life was melting down as fast as buttercream frosting on a
hot day, he took charge of my escape plan, which included renovating the vacant
old library building for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found the front door key in my purse, and we stepped inside
the revamped storefront.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I turned the lights on, I felt like I had stepped
inside a Tiffany’s box.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Oh, Neely!” Roshonda said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The walls were painted a robin’s egg blue. Antique wood-and-glass
display cases had mottled milk chocolate–brown marble <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745" style="mso-comment-date: 20141023T1306; mso-comment-reference: CE_6;">countertops</a>. Antique
iron-and-glass stands would make the future little cakes (under their glass
domes) pop up and down the on the counter like jaunty hats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From the top of the left wall of the bakery, Gavin had hung
a canvas curtain and arranged a display area in front of it. Both the curtain
and display would change each month—as would, of course, the colors and flavors
we showcased. The idea was to sell not only cakes, but also cake stands,
serving pieces, plates, paper napkins, and other goodies, so once your little
cakes got home, they’d look as good as they did in my bakery. One-stop
shopping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the right, Gavin had arranged a seating area with dark
bentwood chairs and café tables. It looked like a tea salon in Paris.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I sighed with delight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I wanted to see where I would spend most of my time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The work and storage areas were screened off in the back,
although I would have been happy to show off my two Vulcan convection
ovens-on-wheels and the big stainless steel worktable with the cool marble slab
at one end for chocolate work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The calm milk-chocolate plaster walls, stainless steel, and
white marble made the workspace look like a shrine to the cake baker’s art. And
I liked to think it was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Does this start to make up for everything else?” Leave it
to Roshonda to get right to the point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I nodded yes. I was too tired, too frazzled, to cry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She offered to help me put things away, but I knew she was
busy, too. And I wanted to get into this new life without distraction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’ll leave you to it, then,” she said. “Just text me if
you need anything.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I unloaded the smaller boxes of bakery gear from the
truck and started putting everything away, I had that soothing sense of making
order out of chaos. Like reading a mystery novel and having everything tied up
at the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But no matter how many whisks I hung on hooks or metal
cookie cutters I put in plastic bins, there was still a hole in my heart. Two
holes, in fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The old one had been shrinking. The new one was still ragged
at the edges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="03COBodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn’t know until I licked the mocha buttercream from
my third devil’s food cupcake that this was the flavor of starting over—dark
chocolate with that take-charge undercurrent of coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="03COBodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I could actually taste it, feel it. And now I craved it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Slowly, I was coming back to myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The past two weeks had gone by in a flash: packing up on a
drizzly December day, driving from the East Coast to the Midwest, getting my
house and then my new business set up. I yearned to curl up in front of my
fireplace and just stare at the flames.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But here I was on yet another Sunday, getting ready for a
soft opening by next weekend. Everything was a fast-paced blur on the outside
of my life, but inside, where it counted, I was back in working order. I could
taste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the moment, I needed a quick break from the sensory
overload in the bakery, which held every color, aroma, and flavor of the past
few days of frenzied production. I had once read about a Montreal baker who
developed a perfume she called “Wheat Siren,” inspired by the aroma and flavor
of sweet things baking. Even though my own muse seemed to be plodding in chef’s
clogs rather than sashaying in Jimmy Choo’s, the full-body allure of the
kitchen had returned to me with emphasis. Years ago, during my very first weeks
of pastry school, I had learned that too much of a good thing was still too much.
So over time—and with some difficulty—I’d trained myself to step back and
reassess at regular intervals. If only I had been as wise in my personal life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today, I decided I should step outside, even if it was
January. Maybe the shock of the cold and a blast of winter wind would sharpen my
focus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I opened the front door of Rainbow Cake and, like a genie
from a bottle, the warm bakery air escaped with me. All of those aromatized
esters, the flavor bouquet that wine geeks described as they swirled and
sniffed a glass of wine, spiraled out above the sidewalk along Benson Street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I looked up to see the sun struggling behind a gray mass of
snow clouds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I could relate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then a beam of sunlight found a way through. A sign?
Maybe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But what was this? I gasped. The bakery esters had
refracted into visible bands of flavor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every flavor, I knew, was a shortcut to a feeling. Sorrow. Joy.
Anticipation. Fear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And every feeling was the heart of a story. And we all had
a story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Above me was a rainbow of stories. Maybe I could have a
quick taste of one right now. . . .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Something purple. Mmmmmm. <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Plum</span></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Could a flavor be pleased with itself and its position in
the world? That was plum. Not the sharp-flavored skin and the sweet flesh of a
fresh plum, but more the concentrated flavor when the fruit was cooked down for
a tart filling. Like the taste of port. In fact, I liked to pair plum and port
together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span class="ITAL"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>You won’t be able to wear your pretty

<div class="04BodyText">
<span class="ITAL"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Who said that? I turned around to look for the
old-fashioned gentleman who had just spoken, but he wasn’t there. Never mind.
My imagination was in overdrive, so I didn’t see what was coming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Watch the dog!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tiny, low-to-the-ground Mrs. Amici almost bowled me over as
she walked her dog, Barney, down the sidewalk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Good morning to you, too, Mrs. Amici.” She looked
deceptively sweet with her cotton-candy hair, faded pink parka, and aqua velour
pants. But we all knew her bark was every bit as bad as her bite. Barney, half
dachshund and half beagle, practically toppled over as he angled his long, tubular
body to christen every parking meter and streetlight pole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Hope you got enough people around here who can afford
those fancy cakes,” she grumbled, and nodded up to Rainbow Cake’s colorful
sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I hope so, Mrs. Amici.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re not going to make it if you go around looking like
that. You’ve got blue hands,” she pointed out. “And your hair hasn’t seen a
comb since I don’t know when.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re right, Mrs. Amici,” I had to admit, wiping my hands
on my white baker’s apron, for all the good it did. “A little frosting, that’s
all. Robin’s egg blue is our signature color.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She tut-tutted, and her gaze went up to my face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Did I have buttercream there, too? Probably. I quickly
patted my face. I knew I still looked tired, as I had been working <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745">nonstop</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“If that’s how you ran around in New York City, no wonder
you had to come home with your tail between your legs,” she added, with a mean
chuckle. “Little Claire O’Neil. Or is it still Claire Davis? Miss I Can’t Wait
to Get Out of This Dump. Oh, wait a minute—it’s Mrs. Big Shot running back home
to her mother. Only thirtysomething and you’re already washed up. Don’t look so
shocked. It has happened before, believe me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I gasped. Her sharpness started to work its way inside me
like a splinter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lemon. I could just taste it. Above her head, a band of
yellow seemed to separate from the rest of the flavor rainbow. As it went into
free <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745">fall</a>,
enveloping us both, I could taste the crumb of a buttery lemon bar that got
more and more puckery. Ehhhh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Whatever,” Mrs. Amici grunted at me, oblivious, and then
hobbled along as Barney did his funny arabesque down the sidewalk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The wind picked up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Roshonda opened the front door of Jump the Broom to get the
newspaper from her front stoop. “Whatever you’re baking up in there, Neely, it
sure smells good,” she said. “Reminds me of my auntie’s tea cakes.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’ll bring you something later,” I promised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Neely! We’re ready for January,” Gavin called from the
bakery doorway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The flavor rainbow was gone, and I went back inside where
Gavin and the photographer were setting up the first digital shot. For the
grand opening next weekend, I’d gone all out. My signature <b><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://alfrescofoodandlifestyle.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-cake-therapists-rainbow-cake.html">rainbow cake</a></span></b>—layers
of lavender, coral, lime green, lemon yellow, and raspberry pink cake frosted
with our robin’s egg blue buttercream—provided the logo for the bakery sign, brochure,
business cards, and website. We took that photo yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Like any bakery, we’d have the standard stuff—breakfast
pastries and muffins, cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, cakes, cookies, and more.
But it was the monthly, flavor-themed specials that would, hopefully, bring
customers back to try something new. It was a marketing idea that ice cream
makers had been all over for years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At Rainbow Cake, January’s special flavors would be dark
chocolate and coffee, those pick-me-ups we all needed to start the day—or a new
year. To me, their roasty-toasty flavors said that even if you only had a mere
handful of beans and your life went up in flames, you could still create
something wonderful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A little trial by fire could do you good. After all, if it
worked so well with raw cacao and coffee beans, it could work for others,
including me. Or so I hoped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I ran back to the workroom, where I had everything ready to
go on my rolling cart of vertical shelves. I brought out the sweet, little
pillowy kisses—the version of French macarons
I call “polka dots” because they sort of dance in your mouth. Every month, our
polka dots will highlight a new set of signature flavors and colors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Same with the éclairs, which would be a weekend special.
January’s éclairs would be filled with a coffee-flavored pastry cream and
finished with a chocolate icing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gavin arranged the paper-frilled mocha cupcakes with robin’s
egg blue frosting and chocolate sprinkles. Sugar cookies individually decorated
like snowflakes—each in a unique pattern of turquoise detailing dusted with a
flurry of sugar crystals—as well as cookie mittens and ice skates. Chic
bridesmaid’s sugar-cookie dresses painted in mocha and espresso. And a
five-tiered wedding “cake” display of individual petit fours in pale aqua
fondant dotted with dark chocolate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought, again, how lucky I’d been—really. Rainbow Cake
was the bakery I’d never have been able to afford in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the
Hamptons. At least, not on my own. While it was true that I had access to money
back East, and lots of it, I never felt it was mine enough to spend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I couldn’t have afforded Gavin in New York, either, so I’m doubly
lucky he hasn’t accepted one of those job offers he’s always getting from
either coast. His arrangement of platters, plates, and stands holding these
little works of Rainbow Cake art against January’s chocolate-brown canvas
backdrop looked as good as I knew everything tasted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and use social media to announce them,” he told me a few weeks ago, visual and
marketing genius that he was. “We’ll take all the digital photos at once, so
you can use them for advertising and your website and for showing all those
clients who will be lined up as soon as you open.” He talked even faster. “Then
Williams-Sonoma will be calling. . . .”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jett Patterson was going to make all our specialty
decorations, from piped roses and ribbons to marzipan fruits and sugar paste
flowers, based on my designs but with her own special flair. She was the high
school art student I hired to work for me afternoons and Saturdays when school started
again. I was starting to think of her as “the Goth Van Gogh” on a good day or “Vampira”
on a bad one. She took a little getting used to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Norb Weisbrod, tall, pale, and quiet, would be my baker,
back of the house. He used to work at Gateaux, the European-style bakery in
Queen City that specialized in elaborate cakes and petit fours. But he came out
of retirement to work for me—and get away from Bonnie, his bitchy wife. He was also
going to help with deliveries when I needed him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I’d do everything else—meet with clients, do wedding cake

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Genius,” I wanted to correct her. Rainbow Cake was better
than I could ever have imagined it. I sighed and gave Gavin a watery smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Don’t say it,” Gavin warned. Like every guy I’d ever
known, he was unsettled by the imminent threat of tears, especially female ones.
“I owe you, remember? You don’t owe me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gavin and I always looked out for each other. I had come to
his aid several times in the past, especially in high school when his slight
build occasionally made him a target for abuse from bigger guys. And while I wasn’t
in the habit of keeping score between us, Gavin was the sort of person who remembered
every kindness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I smiled fondly at my old friend as he slid the curtain off
the pole. Gone was January’s dark chocolate and coffee. Next up was February’s
blood orange and raspberry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gavin climbed down the ladder and started arranging
February’s display. “Before I forget and we’re too far into this, I’ve got
something for you,” I told him. I ran to the workroom and brought out a pale
turquoise box tied with a chocolate brown ribbon—Rainbow Cake’s signature
wrapping for our high-style cakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“This doesn’t match our color scheme for February,” he
grumbled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It’s a gift, you dope.” I pressed the box into his
stomach. He read the card that said, “Thank you for helping me feather my new
nest.” He opened the box and saw a tiny cake shaped like a bird’s nest in three
small round layers of tender, browned butter-vanilla cake with an apricot
filling. A “nest” border of piped rum and mocha buttercream enclosed a clutch
of pale blue marzipan eggs and a sugar paste feather. The complicated yin and
yang of rum and mocha, the “everybody loves” vanilla, Mr. Social white
chocolate, tart and witty apricot, and artistic marzipan—all said “Gavin” to
me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It looks too good to eat, Neely,” he said as he carefully
took the cake out of the box, slid it onto a little white plate, and looked at
it from all sides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Let’s get a casual shot of this quick,” he told the
photographer. And click, click, it was done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then Gavin brought the cake closer to him and inhaled the
aroma once, twice, three times. “I have to taste this.” He took a forkful, closed
his eyes, and savored the tender cake, the smooth buttercream, the flavor
energies I had animated just for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He breathed a sigh of pure pleasure. Then he looked at me,
puzzled, as if I had seen into his deepest self. He ate a few more bites,
nibbled each marzipan egg, and then breathed in, closing his eyes for a moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I don’t know what you put in this, Neely, but I find it weird
and wrong that you knew how much I needed it,” he said, eyes twinkling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I told you about the townhome rehab I’m doing for that cute
Chicago couple, right?” He ate the last bit of the cake, plucking off the sugar
paste feather, which he put playfully behind his ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Well, they want everything clean and spare and
monochromatic. But it just doesn’t fit them as people. They’re quirky and
relaxed—and they’ve hated every beige and winter-white scheme I’ve designed. Even
though my gut keeps telling me to go another way, I’ve been fighting my
instincts in favor of what the clients think they want. It’s been driving me seriously
nuts, if you want to know the truth.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gavin licked a stray bit of apricot from his fork. “But
after one taste of this cake, the whole direction of the project is suddenly clear

cream with some turquoise and chocolate-colored accents that pop. And a mix of comfortable

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He shot a wry look in my direction as his thoughts trailed
off. “Hey, Neels, if this whole bakery thing doesn’t work out, you could always
be a cake therapist.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

front of my face. He put his arm around me and led me over to the other star of
Rainbow Cake—my new La Marzocco espresso machine. Starbucks was as yet unheard

to be your only source. All of us had had to learn to use the espresso machine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hotel downtown, all expenses paid by Pearson & Associates, the
forward-thinking design firm that had gone out on a limb to hire a woman. Ben had
received strict instructions to do most of the talking, unless George Taylor asked
Ethel a direct question. Nash was also to keep an eye on her, as a young woman
staying unchaperoned at a hotel was not, of course, ideal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ethel, in a crisp Gibson Girl shirtwaist under a gray serge
jacket and long skirt, her blond hair bundled up under a broad-brimmed black
straw hat, thought about her older sister designing jewelry in Boston’s Nob
Hill. Like her sister, Ethel was determined to succeed. She tucked her flat
black portfolio up under her left arm. Ethel hoped she could convince the men
of Simms & Taylor that her designs would appeal to working-class women who,
after all, dreamed of domestic beauty like their upper-class sisters, but
lacked as much wherewithal to make that dream happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ring her sister had made for her: a pretty sapphire surrounded by tiny gold
leaves and seed pearls. Then she polished it against her skirt for good luck
and put her glove back on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Great morning for our little trip up to Lockton, Miss
Parsons and Mr. Nash.” The oldest-looking man nodded to them, tipping his hat
to Ethel. He looked like a port-drinking gentleman, she assessed quickly, and
she envisioned a well-run household with a potted palm in the front bay window
of the parlor and maids in black dresses and white pinafores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the group, “We’ve asked the captain’s wife to come along and make us coffee.
She’s also frying her famous crullers.” The Simms & Taylor men’s eyes widened
in delight. Taylor turned back to Ethel. “You won’t be able to wear your pretty

of breakfast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

each person a starched and ironed napkin, then passed a basket of cinnamon
sugar–dusted crullers, still warm from the lard in which she’d fried them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the next two hours, they sat around the table talking
rosebuds, filigree, vines, and scrolls versus more classical acanthus leaves
and urns. Ethel had brought several sepia wedding photos of working-class
couples, borrowed from a photographer friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At first, the Simms & Taylor men saw only the unsmiling
couples, looking straight into the camera, rigidly posed in their best
clothing. But, as Ethel explained, this might be the only photo they would ever
have taken of themselves, and they wanted it to be respectful, dignified. There
was the requisite formal chair, with either the bride or the groom seated and
the other standing. There was a suggestion of a Persian carpet on the floor. A
bouquet of flowers. The bride’s hand posed to show the ring, no matter how
modest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“They want better than what they’ve had,” Ethel commented. “If
you look closer at the dresses, you’ll notice lace, satiny stripes, dressmaker
details like bows and those tiny rosebuds sewn from ribbon.” She pointed to
several photos and the rosebuds just visible on the trim of a sleeve or a
bodice. “These women may live in tenements, but they dream of gardens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ben sat quietly. Ethel had prepared well and the men seemed
to respect that. Ben’s job was matching the aesthetic to the technical—could these
designs be woven, with an eye for the bottom line, on a factory loom? Would the
design work for a mattress cover?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As Mrs. Skillman poured another round of coffee, Ethel
boldly asked her, “Which design do you like best, ma’am?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The men looked at one another. Why ask this poor woman?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Oh, I’m sure I couldn’t say,” the captain’s wife murmured as
she noticed their puzzled frowns, backing away from the table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then it dawned on them. She was a working-class
woman—their customer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">George Taylor motioned her back. “I’m going to give you twenty-five
dollars.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out bills secured with an
engraved money clip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mrs. Skillman looked uneasy. “You’re very generous, to be
sure, sir.” It was more than the Skillmans usually made in a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’m paying you for your opinion, Mrs. Skillman,” George explained.
“If you were going to buy something for your home with that money,” Taylor said,
talking with his hands, “maybe it’s wallpaper, curtains, a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745">divan</a>—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Or a mattress,” one of the men joked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“In one of these patterns,” Taylor continued, “which one
would you buy? It’s important that we know. Very important. You would be
helping us quite a bit.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“All right, sir, if you put it that way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Now, have a look at these,” he said, motioning her to look
over the drawings. Mrs. Skillman considered each one in her methodical way. She
wiped her hands on her apron, then pointed with a blunt, work-roughened finger
to the design with the most flowers—climbing roses on classical pillars against
a background of scrollwork.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The men looked at one another, at Ethel, and they all nodded.
Taylor gave the money to Mrs. Skillman, who didn’t know whether to bow or
curtsy, and so did a bit of each before nervously stuffing the bills in her
apron pocket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Ben?” Taylor asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“The looms can handle it,” he said. “Might take a week or
so to set the pattern, but the design should work.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now that one of the designs was settled, they looked over
the other sketches to choose two more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mrs. Skillman was gathering up the last of the coffee cups
when a sharp crack of thunder cleaved through the conversation. They all turned
to look out the small eyebrow windows and saw an ominously darkened sky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The boat seemed to shudder to a stop before the lock, which
could gradually take a canal boat from a lower to a higher level of water
before proceeding north to Lake Erie. But <i>The
Aurora</i> would simply turn around and make its <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3949973485281299745">halfhearted</a>
trip back down to Plum Street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Captain Skillman jumped down from the captain’s berth onto
the old towpath while his boy tied up the boat with a thick loop of rope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Let’s finish this up at the factory,” said Taylor, rising
from the table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They gathered up their belongings in a rush. Ethel’s gloves
fell on the floor, but she didn’t notice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This time, the captain handed Ethel up to the shelter of a
large black umbrella, held by the factory foreman. She had just enough time to
take a quick glance across the canal. The chimneys from the paper mill and the
asphalt shingle factory sent smoke up into the heavy air.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rain began to fall like dirty net curtains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The foreman walked to her left, nearest the canal, gripping
her elbow. They hurried to the mattress factory, which was looming like a
fortress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When the foreman stopped suddenly on the towpath to
navigate around a murky puddle, Ethel peered up again at the coal-darkened brick
building. The factory’s massive five stories rose like Sleeping Beauty’s castle
under the enchantment of a dark fairy, she mused. It was surrounded, not by a
thorny thicket as in the fairy tale, but by a darker spell that Ethel sensed,
but could not see: cotton dust, coal smoke, and tiny filaments of asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Close to the lock, the wind spun around, pelting them from
the other side with cold rain. Her wet hands quickly reddened and numbed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="04BodyText">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ethel hoped her petticoat and skirt weren’t ruined. But she
couldn’t ruck up her skirt and hold on to the foreman and her sketches, all at
the same time. As she tucked her portfolio higher up under her right arm, Ethel
didn’t feel the ring loosen, slip from her fingers, and disappear into the mud.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">I </span></span><span style="line-height: 32px;">have</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> a thing for rainbow cake. It's an American layer cake gone <b><span style="color: #45818e;">happy, happy, happy</span></b> with color. </span></span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">There’s something about a rainbow cake that just makes me smile. Every colorful layer seems to suggest a different story. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">When I was working on </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Cake-Therapist-Judith-Fertig/dp/0425277321" style="line-height: 32px;">The Cake Therapist</a><span style="line-height: 32px;">, my debut novel, I wanted a signature cake for the main character. Pastry chef Claire "Neely" O'Neil Davis can see flavors like a rainbow. Her bakery's name is "Rainbow Cake," and she highlights a different color and flavor pairing every month. So her bakery is colorful. And her specialty is individual rainbow cakes with robin's egg blue frosting.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">At home, you can make a rainbow cake large or individual-sized , as you can see in this </span><a href="http://alfrescofoodandlifestyle.blogspot.com/2012/02/happiest-rainbow-cakesever.html" style="line-height: 200%;">previous blog post.</a><span style="line-height: 200%;"> You can go more vividly colored or more pastel. </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">You</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> can do an ombre effect, dark to light layers in the same color family, such as purple to lavender to purplish pink to raspberry to pale pink to white. Making a rainbow cake taps into your inner colorist.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></span><span style="line-height: 32px;">For the cover of The Cake Therapist, the rainbow cake is what pastry chefs call "naked," meaning without frosting on the sides of top. If you want to do that, I'd use a white cake that doesn't brown at the edges. This cake recipe, below, is rich with butter and whole eggs, turning the batter more of a creamy color that does brown at the edges.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">Here is that batter turned into a four-layer rainbow cake I whipped up in my kitchen for </span></span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bake-Happy-Desserts-Fillings-Frostings/dp/0762453796" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;">Bake Happy</a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">. You can find cake buntings (that you can use again and again) on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/96044584/cake-topper-bunting-flags-pink-coral?ref=related-1">Etsy</a>.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">My new favorite way to make one is in five thin layers, each a different pastel, with robin's egg blue or pale turquoise buttercream frosting to finish. Maybe a generous sprinkling of colored sprinkles.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">Here's a taste of Neely's famous rainbow cake that you can whip up for a special occasion, a birthday, or just because.</span></span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I enjoy writing cookbooks ever since my first one about Kansas City restaurant recipes was published in 1995 (I was in second grade). My cookbooks have been nominated for awards (IACP, James Beard, ForeWord) and won them (IACP and ForeWord). Some </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">have become bestsellers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can see all the cookbooks on my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Judith-Fertig/e/B001JS3FSQ">amazon author page</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a method for starting cookbooks, one that I call "The Box Method." Brilliant, no?</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I gather recipe ideas for a new book and put them in a plastic storage box along with photos. I brainstorm on a title for the book and from that comes the theme, then the recipe list, and then the chapters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But a novel is different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When my kids were little, I wrote a novel called <i>Hadley's Dower</i> about the story behind a mysterious antique. The story went back and forth in time. I wrote this in the days before Microsoft Word became the software of choice and you had to print everything out on paper, package it, and ship it to prospective agents. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course, that took forever. My life changed. I moved three times. I put <i>Hadley's Dower</i> away in the proverbial desk drawer along with my dream to write a novel. I had to make a living.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few years ago, still writing cookbooks, I decided to take that dream out and dust it off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To help me focus, gather ideas, and spark my imagination, I created a vision board. I used a long piece of poster board, magazine clippings, photographs, postcards, and other visual elements like rainbow ribbon and a fanciful "Hand of Fatima" golden clip. My vision board is not fancy, as you can see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But it has been powerful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My debut novel, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Cake-Therapist-Judith-Fertig/dp/0425277321">The Cake Therapist</a>, has become real.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Martha Beck, a life coach extraordinaire and Oprah Magazine columnist, has her own great take on creating a <a href="http://marthabeck.com/2010/06/how-to-make-a-vision-board/">Vision Board</a> --for whatever you want to set your sights on for the future. (Just don't let her catch you putting up photos of a new car, a guy with six-pack abs, or a new phone. Go big or go home.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She recommends </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"regularly picturing delights that don’t yet exist, emotionally detaching from them, and jumping into action when it’s time to help the miracles occur. I’m barely learning this," she says, "to be (in T.S. Eliot’s words) 'still and still moving.' But in the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can’t."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">When you order the cookie plate, restaurants might serve the cookies on ho-hum, doily-dressed plates, maybe with a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of milk for a nostalgic dessert.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">You'll need a little bit of Plate Paint, your cookies, and a scattering of little bits to add color and texture. Peters used cookie crumbs, tiny pieces of fresh orange, and chopped pistachios. Simply put the Plate Paint in a squeeze bottle and squeeze out a pattern on a white plate. Arrange the cookies around the squiggles, then scatter the crumbs, orange segments, and pistachios.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted
a thick, viscous, translucent “paint” made with fruit juice in order to create
dots, squiggles, zigzags, or spirals to plated desserts. So, I went into the
kitchen and played around a little bit. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The happy result is this Plate Paint,
which is edible, colorful, easy, vegan, gluten-free, and very shapeable at room
temperature. Use any type of colorful bottled fruit juice (cherry, cranberry,
kiwi, mango, papaya, or pomegranate). You can also try frozen Goya “fruta"
concentrates (pink passionfruit, deeper pink guava, or blackberry).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 cup
(250 ml) colorful bottled fruit juice or frozen fruit juice concentrate, thawed<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spoon
the cornstarch into a small jar with a lid. Add the fruit juice, secure the
lid, and shake to blend. Pour the juice mixture into a small saucepan over
medium-high heat, and whisk it constantly until the juice begins to boil and
turns from a lighter opaque color to a darker, more transparent one. Keep
whisking until the “paint” begins to thicken slightly. Remove the pan from the
heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature. Use the paint right away or
store it in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let the
paint come to room temperature before using.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Irresistible Un-Cookie</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Crispy caramel. Chocolate-covered. Gluten-free. Easy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This treat looks like a free-form cookie, you can nibble it like a cookie, but it isn't a cookie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's <b><span style="color: #990000;">Chocolate-Covered Buttercrunch Toffee</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After all the holiday excess of baked goods, are you ready for a taste break? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Made with ingredients you probably have on hand, the toffee mixture comes to a boil in a saucepan. You simply let it cook until it reaches 300 degrees F. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Carefully pour the toffee mixture onto a baking sheet, then strew with chocolate chips. Let them melt for 2 minutes, then swirl the melted chocolate with a knife or thin metal spatula.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Add-ons could include chopped toasted pecans or walnuts, flaked almonds, toasted pumpkin seeds, or coarse sea salt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> And the other amazing thing about <b><span style="color: #990000;">Chocolate-Covered Buttercrunch Toffee</span></b> is that is just seems to disappear. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chocolate-Covered Buttercrunch Toffee</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adapted from a recipe by David Lebowitz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Makes enough toffee to last about 24 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can double this recipe and pour it out onto a large 11 x 17-inch baking sheet to cool. When the candy thermometer registers 250 degrees F., my advice is to stand watch. A watched pot does actually boil and will produce a perfect toffee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 cups (8 ounces) toasted, chopped nuts (optional), flaked almonds, or toasted pumpkin seeds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 tablespoons water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/2 cup (1 stick) salted or unsalted butter, cut into pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon fine salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 cup granulated sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/4 cup packed light brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped, or 1 cup chocolate chips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Optional: <i>Fleur de sel</i> or coarse sea salt to sprinkle on at the end</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Use a vegetable oil (such as canola) to lightly oil an 8 x 10-inch baking sheet and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If using the nuts, sprinkle half on the baking sheets; reserve the remaining half.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In a medium heavy-duty saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, butter, salt, and sugars to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring as little as possible, until the mixture <b><span style="background-color: white;">just reaches 300 degrees F, about 15 to 20 minutes</span>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. Quickly pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, trying for an even layer. If necessary, gently but quickly spread with a metal spatula. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strew the chocolate over the hot toffee and leave to melt for 2 minutes. Use a table knife or a metal spatula to spread the melted chocolate in an even layer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sprinkle on the remaining nuts and <i>fleur de sel</i>, if you like.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sometimes during the holiday season, the cookie baker needs a treat, too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For maximum pick-me-up and minimal fuss, I vote for this chocolate chip cookie that is fortified by chopped walnuts and tastes fabulous dunked in a latte. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Even better if the latte has a holiday ornament/apple/pomegranate artfully inscribed in the foam!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There's something positively therapeutic about warm, oozy chocolate and a milky, espresso-dark latte.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I feel better just thinking about that combination.</span></div>
