secret location varies
What a better way to preface a game day than with La Taquiza (if you're not tailgating, that is) and what's better than preceding that with baked goods?
The latest Treat Street bake sale was last Saturday on Carnation off of Micheltorena in Silver Lake. INK felt carsick after we missed a left and had to break out a map (!) and circle back around through the twisty streets. Plus it was an overcast morning, but that didn't put a damper on our pursuit of sweetness.
We bypassed the honeydew jigglers and Kiss in full face-paint cookies. UE particularly enjoyed the hand print sugar cookies. JM gave an unexpected high rating for the wheat-free apple blossom muffins. The UB40's, red wine chocolate caramel cupcakes with a sprinkle of sea salt, really tasted like all those things and worked well. The mini upside-down cakes, made with cornmeal, were tart with what may have been plum. There were doughnut muffins and moist "sarsaparilla thrilla" bundt cake. The butterscotch tarts were not butterscotchy enough. Salt n Pepa shorbreads were not too sweet, but the pumpkin whoopie pie was a sugary, creamy mess. . . that we loved. Olive oil cake had a nice texture. The lemon meringue cupcakes held up well to refrigeration and were still nice a few days later.
