I found my new silicone bundt pan is much worse for sticking than my old teflon lined metal pan. I greased it and still my cake stuck big time and half the top came off. I’m going to try it with both greasing and flouring...

Thanks for the rec, I didn’t make it for happy hour, but went there for dinner anyways. Definetly a cool place. The oysters were great, they had 3 varities. Also got a Seafood combo, and the crab cake was definetly the...

. But Nouvelle really takes the cake.

I went to this new place that just opened in Whitestone, La Dolce Via, I believe it is on 150th. They have awesome crepes! You have a choice of either having crepes with nutella, fruit, or the gelato. They have some desserts,...

and moist, but the filling tasted more like sugar than red bean paste. It also had a grease slick. I’m still looking for a to-die-for Chinatown bakery. Any suggestions? Jessica ;-)

I happened to hear Arthur Schwartz on saturday and I was shocked. He was attacking Jonathan Gold for his comments in Gourmet, not for what he wrote, but about JG personal appearance. Completely uncalled for.

Two sets of friends have asked me to bake cakes for their weddings. Does anyone know someone, or a bake supply store, who could sell me same-sex cake ornaments?
