Synopsis: When three generations of African-American women decided to open up a bakery in Philadephias up-and-coming Norther Liberties district, they had no idea of the accolades soon to come. TLCs Best Food Ever called Brown Betty Dessert Boutique the second best bakery in America. A feature in Rachael Ray magazine named one of their cupcakes as one of the five best in the country. Theyve since expanded to two new locations and moved their original bakery to a brand-new and much larger spot nearby so they can meet the growing demand for their treats. As interest in popular bakeries in cities around the country seems to be on the rise, the time is right for a cookbook from Brown Betty. More than just a cookbook, it will chronicle the stores which brought this family together, and put into context the evocative recipe names like Alices Two Step (an almond poundcake with caramel buttercream) and Strawberry Letter (a strawberry poundcake with caramel buttercream). The desserts beautifully walk the line between old-fashioned and contemporary. Youll find pouncakes, layer cakes, cheesecakes, pies, cookies, brownies and more, but with surprise twists like blackberry buttercream or dark cherry filling, making these like nothing youve tried before, all captured in stunning photography which reflects the spirit of the bakery.
