You'll notice that some of the archives aren't working right now, but we should be correcting that very soon. It's been a crazy few weeks for us here - after launching our new site our email was down for several days and then we had this little event for the Ace of Cakes book (you may have heard of this cable network show?

Feel free to email/IM/call us if you experience anything odd with online ordering or with any questions at all!

Baltimore, You Weirdo

Baltimore Magazine's Baltimore, Why the Edge? asks various Baltimoreans about Baltimore. From John Waters: "It's the extremes of Baltimore, the parts that aren't like anywhere else. It's the fact that people don't want to leave Baltimore, and they look at you peculiarly if you say you're moving to New York. They say, "Why?"
