Do You Want to Know What Fudge Is? Do You Want Me to Show You?

Then come on down to Bidon Ville Coffee & Tea on Saturday (March 8th)! This Saturday I'll be doing a tasting there from 11am - 4pm, instead of my usual post at the Tom's Restaurant line in Prospect Heights.

I apologize for my blogging hiatus. I hate a stale blog.....but I hate stale fudge worse.....and if I have to choose between what I'm going to keep fresh, I have to put Brooklyn Fudge first and the Brooklyn Fudge blog second. Hopefully I'll be able to do both at the same time, if I can just stay put. I may make a rare trip to Queens on Sunday. My confectionary and organic cosmetics cohort, Gretta, AKA cupcake addict/advocate, has invited me to a cupcake meetup in her neighborhood (Astoria). That's awfully far north for me, but I do make exceptions for cupcake business. Her roomate is a boy from South Carolina.....and I always look forward to getting together with another out and proud Southerner up here in the big city. While most Southerners in this town are closeted, the South Carolinians never are, which is nothing compared to how they act in the South. I lived in Winston-Salem, NC as a teenager, and still remember the convoys of South Carolinians with their gamecock flags that would dominate the roads whenever Wake Forest played South Carolina. South Carolinians have a need to express themselves, and Lord help you if you encourage them. I hate to sound like a cliche, but I can promise you two things about this Sunday: Cool Whip will be involved and "Steel Magnolias" will be repeatedly quoted.

I may bring Angel with a Dirty Face (the Brooklyn Fudge cupcake) to Queens. It's a white cupcake topped with Brooklyn Fudge ganache. I think I'll bring the Wasabi and Citrus versions; I call them Turning Japanese and Tangelina Jolie. As a matter of fact, I may bring them to Bidon Ville too.

Bidon Ville is located at 47 Willoughby Avenue, in beautiful Fort Greene, Brooklyn (the 'hood where I currently live). I'll see you there!
