Love Street

Though I generally am afraid of carbohydrates and most other baked goods, I couldn’t resist the delicious smells at my client’s cake tasting meeting a couple of weeks ago.  We were meeting with Love Street Cakes and something smelled like brown sugar (in the best way), a scent that I’m not used to smelling often enough.  What made this particular meeting even more interesting is that Archana, the owner of Love Street, isn’t just a baker, she’s also a bride to be!

Archana started Love Street Cakes just last year, but she is no novice.  After graduating from NYU, she went on to study Pastry and Baking at the Culinary Institute of America and from there apprenticed at one of the city’s most reknown bakers before doing at stint at Brooklyn’s Sweet Melissa bakery.  Her cakes are delightful in appearance, and she has some amazingly innovative ideas (like this gorgeous “water color” cake recently featured in NY Magazine).  And the taste? Well, it was certainly worth an extra few minutes on the treadmill!

This last cake has NOTHING to do with weddings at all….. I just liked it.Pigs!
