Book Description
Carlo Cabriotti arrives in America in 1919 looking for the “American Dream,” finding it in the easy money and fast living era of Prohibition, culminating with his marriage to the beautiful Maria. But the untimely death of his wife shatters the dream and forces him to place his sons, Matthew and Vincent in an orphanage. St. Gregory’s Home for Boys is a forbidding place. The nuns’ discipline the youngsters as vigorously and harshly as any drill instructor, but the boys soon learn to adapt and overcome the adversity of their confinement. They join their classmates in adopting an “us against them attitude,” battling the system into which they were so rudely thrust. They begin to grudgingly accept the many minor disciplinary rules, but “getting away with a biggie” remains their primary concern. Crushed Cupcakes derives it’s authentic detail and strong sense of immediacy from the author’s experience growing up in a similar orphanage, as well as recollections of his father, who ran contraband whiskey out of Canada during Prohibition. Young adults will enjoy reading of the trials of Vincent and his classmates, adults will savor the true to life depiction of a vanished era.

No red velvet. Upscale bakery Robicelli’s has become a buzzed-about, in-demand purveyor of decidedly adult cupcakes. Nixing cutesy, pastel-colored dollops of fluff for real ingredients and rich French buttercreams, the husband and wife team have reinvented the cupcake craze for a more sophisticated palate, making each a small piece of the greatest cake ever made. Now their extraordinary recipes are available to the home cook. Now their extraordinary recipes are available to the home cook, including: The Laurenzano (fresh fig cake topped with goat cheese buttercream, fig balsamic gastrique, and crisp prosciutto flakes) The Brooklyn Blackout Cake (chocolate cake with chocolate custard buttercream, dipped in homemade fudge and rolled in chocolate cake crumbs) This book captures not only the Robicelli’s unique take on baking but also their edgy, unapologetically hilarious take on life, including how they survived severe economic setbacks to launch the country’s hottest cupcake brand— a venture begun with thirty dollars in borrowed quarters. Offering both cupcake recipes and a recipe for life that calls for a stash of “emergency cake,” Robicelli’s: A Love Story, with Cupcakes is a baking book like you’ve never seen before.
