As featured on The Martha Stewart Show" & " The Today Show" & in " People Magazine"! Hip. Cool. Fashion-forward. These arent adjectives youd ordinarily think of applying to baked goods. Think again. Not every baker wants to re-create Grandmas pound cake or cherry pie. Matt Lewis & Renato Poliafito certainly didnt when they left their advertising careers behind pooled their life savings & opened their dream bakery Baked in Brooklyn New York a few years back. The visions that danced in their heads were of other br&-new kinds of confections... Things like a Malt Ball Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting which captures the flavor of their favorite Whoppers candies (and ups the ante with a malted milk ball garnish). Things like spicy Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits that really wake up your taste buds at breakfast time. Things like a Sweet & Salty Cake created expressly for adults who are as salt-craving ?as they are sweet-toothed. Which is not to say that Lewis & Poliafito sidestep tradition absolutely. Their Chocolate Pie (whose filling uses Ovaltine) pays loving homage to the classic roadside-diner dessert. Their Baked Brownies will wow even the most discriminating brownie connoisseur. & their Chocolate Chip Cookies? Words cannot describe. Whether trendsetting or tried-&-true every idea in this book is freshly " Baked.""
