ADVENTURES OF THE COOKIE QUEEN

I have a friend in the media business, a good friend, and she works for O’Reilly Media, publishers of both MAKE and CRAFT magazines. Both are quarterly and about as innovative and cool as you can get. MAKE is for the growing number of DIY (do-it-yourself) techies - the kind of people who make a camera from chain saw parts in their garage. CRAFT is for the renegade crafter - the hipster who wants to crochet a robot or embroider their skateboard.

So it will come as no surprise that the fabulous Amy Sedaris is the cover star of the most recent issue of CRAFT which features an excerpt from her book, “I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence” on how to make the perfect party cake.

A little nugget:  The cover was shot in New York city by Todd Oldham.  With input from the CRAFT creative team, of course.

My friends at CRAFT have provided me with this nice link so that you can read the cake article.

On to liquor…in the very same issue of craft, there is a Bar Essentials article authored by expert cocktailer, Alex Mountjoy and features many of our favorite cocktail recipes.  Check it out - not only is it informative and entertaining but it has possibly started my career as a hand model.  It features our personal tiki bar and was shot down at the Dolce Mia warehouse using Alex and I as “models.”
