Friday: Roopa Special!

Tonight, if you order any dessert at Dirt Candy then you’ll get a free order of Roopa’s amazing Thai Eggplant Chocolate Cake with Thai Basil ice cream! It’s part of our week-long Cake and Ice Cream Birthday Fiesta, to celebrate Dirt Candy turning two years old.

MonkeyBday

This monkey is only one year old.

Ha, ha, monkey. We are older than you.

Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello is a longtime Dirt Candy customer – and a scientist! and a baker! – who cooked an amazing Family Meal for all of us when Jesus was having his Family Meal-free August. Now she’s created a cake for us based around Asian flavors and with a chocolate chili cream filling that is amazingly delicious, and I’ll be serving it all night long.

BunnyBday

Grrr…this bunny thinks it can tell us

what to do because it is older than us.

Roopa chronicles her cooking adventures on her blog, raspberry eggplant, that has her explanations and thoughts on tonight’s dessert. The one thing you’ll learn from her blog? Roopa has more science than us.
