Food history, recipe sharing, and all things food-related. This foodie blog is aimed at newbie cooks or beginners. But everyone is welcome!
One good thing leads to another. Started my day scrolling through posts by Tumblr bloggers that I follow. One blogger who loves French inspiration and French-inspired things led me to a vintage picture of Petit Fours. From there the web opened its doors and I found these gorgeous cakes. But since some of my Food Ways subscribers don't follow me via social media, I'm resharing the content here. Please enjoy.
Cupcake Cafe is a classic cake experience, the go-to for gorgeous buttercream flower-embellished cakes. I love the cluster of blooms against the solid color of the cake. They are delicious and breathtaking.https://t.co/t8gFSN5G2Cpic.twitter.com/uG05ySL929
Do you remember when you first learned how to cook? Do you remember when you made a dish or a dessert that you thought was impossible to make with your limited culinary skills but when you followed the recipe you ACED IT!!
I
remember when I made my first Pineapple Upside Cake.
I was a
teenager and I was trying to teach myself how to prepare meals for my
family, including dessert. I was quite proud of my cake even though
I used a cake mix. I had not realized that the part of the recipe I
thought was the most difficult ~ that is, getting the pineapple on
the bottom to be on the top. It was so easy! Once I learned what to do
I started thinking: 'I can probably do this same recipe with fruit
other than pineapple.' I
thought that but I've never done it! I'm not sure what fruit I would
substitute for the pineapple. Although I have seen a cooking videos upside down cakes for other than pineapple.
Below
is a link to a great recipe for pineapple upside down cake, if you have
never baked one. And ...??? I'm just curious. If
you have already made such a cake, have you ever made an upside down
cake with a fruit other than pineapple?? Mango?
Nectarines? Peaches? Bananas? Apples? Rhubarb? Some exotic fruit that grows in
abundance where you live?
Are you curious about global flavors? You have wanderlust but can't wander too far because your travel budget is extremely limited? Describing myself, of course. My travel adventures are accomplished mainly through the Internet and television. Was watching a TV cooking show and the host asked one of his guests who was a world traveler, which part of the world had the "best food" (in his opinion). He said he enjoyed food prepared in the Middle East.
Several months back, began using the Google+ collections feature to maintain a collection of posts and links related to World Cuisine. In the process, stumbled across the Arabic Food Recipes blog. My husband and kids are turned on to chai tea. Even though I am a coffee fiend, having been encouraged by them to try a cup, it's very easy to understand why they are chai tea lovers. At the aforementioned food blog found a cake recipe and thought to myself:
'Chai tea is delicious. Why not chai cake?'

Here is another thing to note about this blog. When many of us are enjoying the holiday season, we say "Happy Holidays" to others. Why? It's not to be anti-Christmas. America is a diverse nation. Some folks do not celebrate Christmas. But they do celebrate a holiday! This blog has holiday recipes for Christmas, EID, and Ramadan. Cool huh?
