O Magazine and Baked
I subscribe to a lot of food magazines. I admit it… it is a bit of a problem I have. One magazine that I subscribe to but do not usually turn to for recipes and food related information is O, The Oprah Magazine. The stories are inspirational, the content is interesting, but I don’t typically find a lot of recipes that interest me.
The February 2009 issue of O Magazine just happens to be the exception. In this issue they featured the owners of the famous little pasty shop called Baked, located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Renato Poliafito and Matt Lewis share the story of the beginning of their bakery to their current position of expansion into the Charleston, South Carolina area. Their overwhelming popularity is keeping them busier than ever.
Anyone who has a dream of opening a successful bakery can learn a lot by reading this article about the success of Baked. Anyone with a love for baking will find a surprise inside the magazine… the owners have shared with O readers five of their most loved recipes for the Valentine’s Day holiday. Red Hot Velvet Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream, Red-and-White Cookies, Cinnamon Mocha Drink, The Baked Spicy Brownie and Strawberry Whoopie Pies… all recipes that I know I can’t resist.
If you are not a regular reader of O Magazine, but are an avid baker, be certain to pick up the February 2009 issue. It should be on newsstands soon!
