You left out the book where I first “met” you—Paris Sweets! That little book still holds a special place for me, even though I have them all. See you next month in NY. Already have my tix!

Can’t wait for the new book to be released! I hope there will be tips included for how to store & freeze cakes - sometimes I get the itch to bake a cake but not enough people around to eat an entire cake!

Congratulations, Dorie! I'm on #teamcake and I love, love, love the title Kitchen Cakes. It reminds me of our down home Kitchen Parties in Atlantic Canada, where the whole gang gathers casually around the kitchen table for music, laughter, good conversation, a strong cup of tea, and something homey to eat. I'm sure the cakes in your new book would be exactly what would be brought out for one and all to tuck in to.

Paula, I love the scene you just set. It would make me so happy if one of my cakes found its way to one of your Kitchen Parties - xoD

That's something you can count on, Dorie! I'm making your Molasses Spice cookies this afternoon (my husbands fave), and tomorrow is your Everyday Bread from Baking with Dorie. I've made it about elebenty-hundred times now and it comes out perfectly every single time.

I’m very excited to hear this I can’t wait to dive into it! Just a few days ago I made your Swedish Fika Cake for the first time from Baking With Dorie. It is so incredible it’s my new favorite.

Thank you, Shira. And didn't I see your Fika Cake on Instagram? It looked really nice - xoD

Expand full comment

Yes, how sweet of you to notice! I just finished the last slice which I had wrapped in the freezer, the taste and texture was very well preserved. The Fika Cake did not have freezer recommendations so I looked at other recipes of yours and I notice that you sometimes recommend freezing and sometimes not. I’m wondering if you test freezing as part of your process?

I know this will be a very successful project. So many love to bake.

Alas, me, not so much.

What’s your take on an appetizer book? So many times we go to the usual ones we are used to. But different ones that aren’t complex would be so helpful. Ones we would have never even thought of trying.

Just a thought.

Sunny, this is interesting. I'm committed to cakes now, but appetizers and appetizers that can become part of a kind of pick-up/picnic meal are favorites of mine. I'm trying to think of a book that's just apps and I'm drawing a blank now - xoD

Pajama cakes!! These are my favorite kinds of cakes too; and I know this will be a treasure!! I love that you wrote here about titles, I find them such torture because I always want something poetic and yet my (smart) agent and editors know something more straightforward will better serve the book. I’m excited to see here this one lands Dorie!! Xx

P.S. hi to darling Mary Dodd, you are both so lucky to have each other. 🤍

Titles! They're so hard. I once had a proposal for a book sit on my desk for too long - I'd done all the hard stuff, all the figuring out stuff, all the writing, but I couldn't think of a title. And then, as you know, the title we start with isn't always the one we finish with - lots of smart poeple weigh in. It's a process! Hugs to you, wonderful Sarah - xoD

A comment on Modernist pizza, which is a wonderful tasting dough; however, you might suggest that people rub a little olive oil on the rounds as they rise, both rises. I didn’t and mine stuck badly to the plastic wrap with just the floured rounds. Love Around my French table!

Thanks for the tip - I'll pass it along to my husband, the pizza-maker - xoD
