Let's talk about timing. To wit, last week would have been the opportune time for me to share with you, my dedicated audience of 36, that I, your humble sugar ambassador, was featured in all my coquettish and drunkish photogeneity on the third page of a three-page article highlighting some of DC's bakers. The heading inflates us to "best," you'll see, but they left out my Tartner Emily Hilliard who quite clearly reigns supreme, and my OG mentor and woman I admire Lizzy Evelyn, of PaisleyFig/Room 11/Cork, so I think the list was a wee curtailed. Even so, I am thrilled and flattered to be there, and I hope it's a sign of good things to come!
Pretty righteous cropping job, whoops
The feature was on the apple tart recipe that was shown on this blog in November -- which was then and still is one of my favorite dessert recipes -- in part because of mine and Emily's recent marathon baking adventures with Tarts by Tarts, our partner project. Last week would have also been prime time to share that we were gearing up a partnership with Treasury Vintage, one of DC's purveyors of fine style, for the Tart of Gold Valentine's Party and to share that Tarts by Tarts was accepting online orders for tart delivery throughout DC for Valentine's Day. Whoops again! Well we received some wonderful support from the community, including Refinery29 again as well as The President Wears Prada (click for bitchin' pictures) and Panda Head (click for a bitchin' blog in general). We delivered some 15 tarts, sold bunches of doughnuts, gave away baskets of cookies, and had ourselves some salty caramel satisfaction in a kitchen that is having a hard time losing its sticky sheen. Next stop: Tarts by Tarts at the DC Square Dance on March 3, and coming up soon is a recipe for our yeasted doughnuts stuffed with dulce de leche. Stay tuned!
