Hello, friend
Hummingbird Cake is a Southern classic, and
rightfully so. This is an incredible cake. I adapted from the original cream
cheese frosting recipe by making a creamy goat cheese & crème fraiche frosting infused with chamomile tea to
add a decadent yet subtle compliment to the rich, moist, tenderness of the
cake.
I apologize for
the late posting. I’ve been out of town all weekend attending the Breadsense
summit for Aunt Millie’s in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which was a complete success!
It was my first time at Aunt Millie’s, so it was exciting being able to meet
all the creators, marketers, and individuals involved with the Breadsense program. We toured the Aunt Millie’s
plant, talked about audience and market segmentation, and even got to play with
puppets. All I can say is that there
are some exciting new things coming in 2017 that I cannot wait to share with
all of you. Plus, on my way back home, I got to stop in Indianapolis and have
lunch of Lauren (of the Saveur-nominated
food blog Harvest and Honey), which
was absolutely delightful! We ate at this adorable little brunch café Eggshell Bistro, which was outstanding, to say the least. Over cups of
coffee, we talked about all things blogging, food, and photography. We gawked
over our favorite bloggers as we chowed down on plates of shakshuka and rosemary & ham tarts. It was
so wonderful being able to meet a fellow blogger who is just a stone's throw away regionally. Being able to
connect with other content creators like Lauren makes me appreciate this little
food community even more than ever.
