Noelle Blizzard, owner of Philadelphia's New June Bakery, shares with us her recipe for what she calls the 'best birthday cake ever' - a sour cream confetti cake with homemade Swiss meringue buttercream.
"Everyone was baking at home," she says. "You know, banana bread, I had a sourdough starter going, we were making cinnamon buns. I just kept baking and one day I turned to my husband and said: 'I think I want to bake all the time.'"Here's something else that's a little unexpected.
"I took the legs off of my dining room table and put commercial risers on them," she says. "We no longer had a dining room table. I lined all the walls with shelving." "He was like, 'This is new June. June is when we will only eat at new restaurants. We will only make new recipes. We're going to branch out. It was like an adventure," she said."Growing up in Italy, during World War II, his first jobs were in cafes," Blizzard explains. "He worked in Italian bakeries.""He says he cooked for Frank Sinatra at old dining tables in Las Vegas," she says.
"It's very 'pinch me' to know that I live here, and I started a business here," she says. "I have this community in Philly buying cakes from me. It's very, very special."
