baking, cake boss, sfogliatelle

He had me at this statement:
“Unless you are a professional baker and an accomplished one at that, you probably shouldn’t try to make these. I’ve seen grown men brought to the brink of tears trying to make sfogliatelle.”
Thus was the introduction to the Sfogliatelle recipe in Buddy Valastro’s Cake Boss cookbook so I absolutely had to try it. I would be meeting Buddy Valastro at his Cake Boss tour in Raleigh NC, 2011, and wanted to tell him that at least I tried.

My son and I truly enjoyed the intensity of this recipe process. Buddy was right, it’s not for the faint of heart and you need a really BIG table. I covered our wood dining room table with a plastic tablecloth so we would have enough space.

1

Holding the sfogliatelle dough after it went through the pasta machine.

Starting Buddy Valastro’s “The Cake Boss” sfogliatelle dough. We put the sfogliatelle dough through the pasta rollers about a dozen times, sometimes folding it in half, until the texture seemed right.

2

Beginning to stretch the long strip of sfogliatelle dough.

The dough gets thinner.

5

Stretching sfogliatelle dough.

We had to be so very careful to not poke holes through the dough

6

Stretching the thicker edges of the sfogliatelle dough.

7

The sfogliatelle dough felt incredible, like cool, soft velvet.

It’s hard to believe this dough was made from just flour and water with a little sea salt. Amazing! It had a cold velvety texture and was super drapey and soft.

8

Checking the thinness of the sfogliatelle dough.

The dough is almost thin enough! We had to take that little strip from the pasta machine and stretch it to 7′ by 2 feet. It hung over the ends of the table.

9

Not too many holes in the dough. Yay!

Sfogliatelle dough, stretched and thin enough with not too many holes. My son Noah and I are elated that we did it.

10

Spreading shortening by hand and rolling the dough.

Beginning to roll the dough. Noah spreads shortening completely across the dough as I roll it.

11

Continuing to roll the sfogliatelle dough.

Continuing to roll the dough. We cut the two foot roll into two pieces and put them on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator to bake the next afternoon.

12

Slicing the long roll of sfogliatelle dough.

The roll of sfogliatelle dough is sliced 3/4″ thick for the beginning of Lobster Tails.

13

Pressing the dough out like a telescope to make the cones for filling.

Pressing the dough out like a telescope, the dough is formed into a cone.

14

Piping the pate a choux pastry into each cone of sfogliatelle dough.

Pate a Choux (Cream Puff dough) is piped into each cone of dough. It was quite a challenge piping filling into all the bent ones. They looked like mummy-strangled popovers, with filling oozing out all the cracks.
The suspense is building, isn’t it? All that flaky goodness is surely going to be something amazing? Well… see the next photo.

15

hahaha our super crispy and flakey sfogliatelle are all wonky!

Ha ha ha ha! All our Lobster Tails burst! They look seriously deformed. We were ROFL over them. But they actually are extraordinarily light and crispy with a blizzard of shattering crumbs with each bite.

16.

A sugar-dusted, crispy, light, amazing Sfogliatelle, recipe from The Cake Boss cookbook.

Sugar-dusted Lobster Tail. Recipe from the Cake Boss cookbook. 3 days to make, 7 luxurious minutes to eat, 8 seconds to lick the fluffy, Italian Cream Custard Filling and last crispy crumb off the plate.

I took a small container filled with the best of the sfogliatelle to Buddy Valastro’s show. He was so charming and entertaining and awesome! A genuine good-hearted soul. After his show, we stood in line for our chance to meet Buddy and get a picture taken with him. The line moved fairly quickly.
As soon as it was our turn to meet Buddy, I opened my bin to show him my attempt at Sfogliatelle. The first thing he said was “Those smell good!” He picked one up and held it and studied it and said “It’s so light!” I was so happy! I asked him what we did wrong to make them all burst at the seams and he told me we rolled the dough too thin, to keep it thicker next time and to not push the cone out too much so there was more overlap of the strips. I got the impression that he would have loved to talk a lot longer about making good sfogliatelle but other guests were waiting in line for their photo with him. I would have loved to talk for hours about pastry! We got our picture and I walked out feeling so encouraged. It was a fantastic experience.

Meeting Buddy Valastro after his Cake Boss show in Raleigh NC 2011.

For years I kept one sfogliatelle in the freezer because “That’s the sfogliatelle that was touched and blessed by Buddy Valastro!” haha That was the only time I’ve ever made sfogliatelle but I’m thinking of giving it another go.

I raise a toast to the true Cake Boss.

The tiniest book I ever made – Blue Flowers

This tiny book, less than a quarter inch square, is titled Blue Flowers.

The tiniest book I ever made was titled Blue Flowers.

The tiniest book I ever made was titled “Blue Flowers” and included tiny paintings and descriptions of blue flowers. In order to qualify for “micro mini” status, it had to be under 1/4″ square.

I shaved the blue suede as thin as possible so the edges could be folded with less bulk.

I shaved the blue suede as thin as possible so the edges could be folded with less bulk.

I think I made 7 copies and traded them with book making friends. I have one copy but don’t remember where the other copies went. Each book with blue suede cover and gilded page edges was tucked inside a tiny blue flower.

The text was printed using a laser printer. When the pages were cut apart from the sheet of printer paper, I had to be careful not a single breeze blew over my worktable since I couldn’t see the text and would have to use a magnifying glass to put them all back in order again. I was glad when I had all the pages stitched together!

Each book had a headband made of silk ribbon.

Each book had a headband made of silk ribbon. The gold ink used to gild the edges was sticky so I used an exacto knife to carefully cut the pages apart so they wouldn’t stick as the ink dried.

I made the paintings on each page using a magnifying glass and a brush that had only 3 hairs in it.

The paintings were so fun to make! Some day I hope to make a tiny book about Pink Flowers. But that will have to happen soon before my eyesight ages even more.

Free Idea – Books & Eats Restaurant

Oh I wish there was such a thing!!!!!!!!!
Restaurants are great for socializing. Food and friends go together perfectly.
But sometimes, you just want to eat something amazing and READ something great at the same time.
Thus, the perfect restaurant would be eat & read, or Books & Eats.
Picture this…

Bohemian decor with super comfy chairs and customizable lighting at every table.
Great, knowledgeable staff, all lovers of books and food.
Shelves of books on every wall.
Once seated… snippets of possible conversation…

White shirt bowtie waiter: “Good evening! Would you like fiction or non-fiction this fine evening?”

“Non-fiction,” you say, a bit tired, brushing at the paint stains on your jeans. “Perhaps something inspiring. Can you recommend a good book?”

“Family or Business?”

“Business,” you respond. “Well, perhaps both. I’ve reached an impasse with a new venture and need inspiration.”

“Why certainly!” says the waiter. “We have a very fine non-fiction, vintage 2002, by Steven Pressfield. The War of Art, Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles.”

“That sounds perfect!” The book title sounds intriguing and you’re already encouraged. It just feels good to have someone want to help, even if their help is hit or miss. “What do you recommend to go with it? I’m in the mood for a good dessert.”

“If you want to go citrus, I highly recommend a slice of Lemon Orange Cheesecake with Vanilla Bean Kumquat topping. The mixture of sweet and tang is inspiring and the touch of bittersweet is the perfect finish. It’s the kind of dessert that you enjoy leisurely, savoring each bite and letting the flavor sink in.”

“And how long do I have?” you ask.

“For this particular all-together-yum, we allow 30 minutes. But you are welcome to purchase the book when you leave.”

“Great!” you say, as you lean back in the padded chair and check your watch. The food and book show up within two minutes so you get a full 28 minutes to enjoy the exquisite dessert and inspiring read.

Yeah, I’m there. Today.

Books & Eats, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield and Lemon Orange Cheesecake with Vanilla Bean Kumquat topping.  #alltogetheryum

Four Little Bunnies – a charming Easter tale from 1935

19 Saturday Apr 2014

My granddaughter loves this little Easter book from my childhood. We photographed this last year.

Enjoy!

Four Little Bunnies
by Ruth Dixon
Photographs by Harry Whittier Frees
Published in 1935

Four Little Bunnies-1

Four Little Bunnies

Four Little Bunnies-2

Four Little Bunnies – Story by Ruth Dixon – Photographs by Harry Whittier Frees

Four Little Bunnies-3

Dedicated to all the little bunnies who posed for the pictures in this book. NOTE: These unusual photographs of real bunnies were made possible only by patient unfailing kindness on the part of the photographer at all times. –

Four Little Bunnies-4

Once upon a time there were four little bunnies. Their names were Fluff, Puff, Muff, and Algernon. This is the way they looked when they were all dressed up. –

Four Little Bunnies-5

They lived with Mother Bunn and Daddy Bunn. Mother Bunn taught them to play quietly. She taught them to eat all of their dinner. And she taught them never to sniff at nice spinach and carrots. Daddy Bunn taught them to look before they hopped. –

Four Little Bunnies-6

One day at breakfast Algernon licked the cocoa off his whiskers and said, “Tomorrow is Easter. I’m going out to find Mother Bunn a present!” “So am I!” cried Puff and Fluff and Muff, licking the cocoa off their whiskers. (Mother Bunn was upstairs and could not hear them.) –

Four Little Bunnies-7

“That’s a good idea!” said Daddy Bunn, who was frying himself just one more pancake. “But don’t forget to do your work before you go.” –

Four Little Bunnies-8

So Fluff said, “Yes, Daddy,” and took her broom and pail of water and scrubbed the floor. –

Four Little Bunnies-9

And Puff said, “Yes, Daddy,” and took his lawn mower and cut the grass. –

Four Little Bunnies-10

And Muff said, “Yes Daddy,” and hitched up Henrietta the hen to the little red cart and brought back twelve eggs from the hen house. –

Four Little Bunnies-11

Algernon said, “O.K., Daddy.” (He meant well though he did use slang.) Then he put on his old checked trousers and he got out the soap and washboard and a big tub of water. And he rubbed and scrubbed and rubbed and scrubbed and did all the family washing. –

Four Little Bunnies-12

When they were through their work the four little bunnies kissed their mother and daddy. Then they went hippity-hop down the hill from their hollow-tree home. Mother Bunn waved good-by to them from the window. –

Four Little Bunnies-13

And Daddy Bunn waved good-by to them from the front door. –

Four Little Bunnies-14

Then Mother Bunn and Daddy Bunn put their headphones over their ears and listened to the Market Reports on the radio. (Though Mother Bunn liked the Cooking Hints better.) –

Four Little Bunnies-15

The first thing Fluff and Puff did was to hurry down the hill, hippity-hippity-hippity-hop. And the first thing Muff and Algernon did was to ride down hill on a scooter. The kitten next door went, too, but hopped off by her favorite tree. (She climbed up that.) –

Four Little Bunnies-16

At the foot of the hill, Puff and Fluff and Muff and Algernon met their friend White Rabbit, standing in his doorway. “Bless my whiskers!” cried White Rabbit. “You are just the bunnies I am searching for. Will you look after my babies this afternoon?” –

Four Little Bunnies-17

The four little bunnies stood still. “It’s a good deed!” whispered Fluff and Puff and Muff. “And we can find Mother an Easter present later.” “O.K.,” said Algernon, and he said it very loud indeed. “Thank you,” said White Rabbit. And he went over to the hammock to take a nap. –

Four Little Bunnies-18

“Thank you,” said Mrs. White Rabbit too, as she put on her best hat. –

Four Little Bunnies-19

And then she went next door to the wedding of Miss Snowy Ears and of Mr. Cottontail. –

Four Little Bunnies-20

So Fluff took care of Millie and Tillie Rabbit. She let them swing in their swing — high-and-low and high-and-low. –

Four Little Bunnies-21

And Muff and Algernon took care of Teenie and Weenie Rabbit. They took them out for a ride in their gocart. –

Four Little Bunnies-22

And then fed them some nice spinach soup. White Rabbit woke up. He thanked the four little bunnies again for helping with the children. “You’re welcome,” said the bunnies. And they started down the path. –

Four Little Bunnies-23

Pretty soon they came to Big Bunny who was tied to a post. “Please rescue me!” said Big Bunny. “Some naughty boy tied me up, so I can’t get away.” “I will!” said Fluff and Puff and Muff. And they gnawed the rope that tied him. “O.K.!” said Algernon. And he gnawed the rope. –

Four Little Bunnies-24

Thank you,” said Big Bunny when they had gnawed the rope loose. “I am the Easter Rabbit. Come to my house and you may help make Easter eggs.” “Goody! Goody! Goody!” said Puff and Fluff and Muff. “O.K.!” said Algernon. Two rabbits hopped by, carrying eggs in a basket. All the bunnies followed them. –

Four Little Bunnies-25

At the Easter Rabbit’s house they all put on work clothes. Then Fluff poured colors on the hard-boiled eggs — blue and green and red and yellow and pink. “It’s fun!” cried Fluff. –

Four Little Bunnies-26

Then Puff dipped the candy eggs in chocolate. “It’s lots of fun!” cried Puff. –

Four Little Bunnies-27

Then Muff helped another rabbit squirt chocolate icing on the white eggs. “It’s lots and lots of fun!” cried Muff. –

Four Little Bunnies-28

Then Algernon squeezed white icing on chocolate eggs and made pretty pictures on them, too. “O.K.,” said Algernon. –

Four Little Bunnies-29

Then all the bunnies helped pack up the Easter eggs into wagons to take to children everywhere. They all worked hard. –

Four Little Bunnies-30

The Easter Rabbit gave the four little bunnies all the eggs they made. Then they piled these into airplanes. “Let’s – – ” began Puff. “Take them home – -” said Fluff. “To Mother!” said Muff. “O.K,” said Algernon. –

Four Little Bunnies-31

Algernon made more eggs than the others. He made a candy rabbit, too. My, he was glad to take them all home! –

Four Little Bunnies-32

When the bunnies got home there was Daddy Bunn giving Mother Bunn an Easter bouquet. So they gave their present. Mother Bunn kissed them all. “What dear, thoughtful little bunnies!” she cried. “I hope you will always be as good as you have been today!” “We’ll try!” said Puff, Fluff, and Muff. “O.K!” said Algernon. (And that meant he would try, too.) –

The table was set with an exquisite pedestal chandelier. Delightful piano music wafted through the door. The King, the Prince and the Princess looked over the royal menus.

At the Queen's Restaurant, the table glowed from the light of the beautiful chandelier and candle on the table.

“What would you like to order?” asked the Queen.
"What would you like to eat?" asked the Queen.

“What would you like to eat?” asked the Queen.


“I want a fruit tray,” said the Prince.
The King watched as the Queen ducked under the table to pick up a menu.

“I will have steak, a sweet potato and peas,” said the King. “I would like Sesame Chicken, please,” said the Princess.
4 Queens Restaurant-5
There was a commotion over by the door as the guests finished reading the menus.
5 Queens Restaurant-3
“WHAT?” the prince and princess yelled, “There is a horse looking in the door!”
A horse peeks his head through the dining room door!

“Oh dear, oh dear!” said the queen as she rushed to the door and tried to get the horse out of the room. The Dragon was a bit distracted but he continued playing piano music to calm the diners.

“I must hurry to cook the food!” said the Queen as she entered the kitchen. “At least the cake is done. It looks great!”
The beautiful decorated cake in the Queen's Restaurant kitchen was ready for serving.

The queen went up to the garden where she picked herbs and fresh oranges from the tree.
9 Queens Restaurant-8
The kitchen bustled with activity as the meals were made.
10 Queens Restaurant-9
Many meals were made ready for guests.
11 Queens Restaurant-10
Soon the King was eating his delicious steak and sweet potato and peas. The Princess thought her sesame chicken was delicious and the Prince enjoyed his fruit, especially the watermelon and strawberries. He also got some extra food because he was still hungry.
12 Queens Restaurant-12
“Would you like dessert?” the Queen asked. “Yes please!” they all said.
13 Queens Restaurant-15
“I have to use the restroom,” said the King. The Prince and Princess ate all their food until there were just crumbs on their plates.
14 Queens Restaurant-18
The Queen set the table with a plate of delicious chocolates, cupcakes and hot chocolate. The King had coffee.
15 Queens Restaurant-17
Meanwhile, the Horse and Dragon went upstairs to the tea room because they were hungry too.
16 Queens Restaurant-19
They looked over the menus and gave their orders to the Queen.
17 Queens Restaurant-20
“This carrot is delicious,” said the Horse. “This is very tasty chicken,” said the Dragon. “Next time, I will order four whole chickens and skip the peas.”
18 Queens Restaurant-21
Downstairs the guests finished their desserts. “Please refresh yourself in the garden,” said the Queen.
19 Queens Restaurant-16
Soon everyone was in the garden getting fresh air.
20 Queens Restaurant-22
Everyone had lots of energy because they ate so much dessert and didn’t want to just stand around.
21 Queens Restaurant-23
The Prince was fascinated with the fountain, especially since it had fish in it.
22 Queens Restaurant-26
“No, No!” said the Princess. “You must not get in the fountain!”
23 Queens Restaurant-24
The Prince wanted to catch the fish. The Princess ran to talk to the horse.
24 Queens Restaurant-27
The Princess fell over but then she got up and started running after the Prince and they decided to play a game of chase in the castle, going up and down the stairs. That upset the Queen because it was her restaurant so she locked herself in the secret room under the stairs so she would be safe while everyone was running around.
25 Queens Restaurant-25
And there the story ended because the lively game of chase throughout the castle required all hands so no more pictures could be taken.

[I bought the book, Princess Palace by Jacqueline East, years before my granddaughter was born. It is one of her most loved books.]
