It is Friday so what better way to celebrate than some silly cake news!! First up is a little quip from 30 Rock star Keith Powell as seen on the New York Post's website. He answers a couple questions about working on the show and then throws in some tips for buttering up his co-workers:
PW: Have you been doing anything to try and ensure Toofer gets into the episode? Like bake Tina a cake?
Keith: [laughs] I bake cakes for everybody! I leave nothing to chance. The PA that comes through, I bake him a cake – because you never know if he’ll be a writer next year.
Words to live by, bake everyone cake!! We're big fans of 30 Rock here at Merci Beacoup, so stop by any time Keith and bake some cakes with us.
Secondly this week in silly cake news, a world record cake was created in New Orleans on Wednesday. Local shop Haydel's Bakery and the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints teamed up to make a record breaking king's cake that, get this, wound around the Super Dome!! Twice!! Good luck finding the plastic baby in that puppy! Estimated to be about 5,300 feet in length, the two rings of braided cake broke a record held by something known as "Fiesta Mart" in Houston. Seriously? Listen, I'm not even from New Orleans and I can tell you that no Fiesta Mart in Texas is gonna hold a king cake record over NOLA!
Thankfully Haydel's stepped up and brought the king cake crown back to Louisiana. After Guinness officials verified the record, pieces of the no doubt delicious cake went for $7, or $12 with a baby. Well, not actually a baby, but a chance at a raffle prize with proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure New Orleans. Great cause, great pastry, what else do you need in life people! Well played Haydel's and be sure to click here for a great article on the event from Nola.com!!
That's it for silly cake news this week! I've been doing these off and on here on Happy Sugar Baking Land, but I think I'm gonna make it more regular. Don't be shy in letting me know about fun and silly cake happenings in your town and I'll post them up here! Have a great weekend!!
