tiA-B-C Bundt

Sorry it took so long to post this, but as you can see below, the site was hacked and it caused small hiccup in the progress (and desire to even think about) anything bundt-related!

Now that we're back up and running, Tia enlisted the help of her friend Betty Crocker (mother of Lil Debbie and Duncan Hines) to create a delicious treat.  It was a vanilla bundt decorated with three colors of frosting meant to represent the A-B-C story lines of "Jerseylicious."  The cake was so delicious that no one sent back any notes.

THIS JUST IN: Bundt Blog Hacked!

Dear James,

On the afternoon of April 19th, there was a security breach on your blog. It appears your site has been hacked. The only way to fix this error and restore the site is to bring a Bundt cake to the office on the morning of April 23, 2012.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and are doing what we can to prevent further security attacks.

Sincerely,

Web Administrator

A very von Trier bundt special

For our April 9 bundt presentation, story producer Eva Anderson decided to honor a classic film - Lars von Trier's Antichrist. An Alexa Prisco favorite, Antichrist tells the heartwarming tale of a crazed wife torchering her husband during a couples retreat in the woods.

Adorned with scissors and blood-red icing, this terrifying treat received critical acclaim throughout the office. Fans of the cake are already looking forward to the sequel.

Tamara's Earth Bundt

On Monday 4/2, Tamara made a delicious "Earth Bundt," inspired by Niki, the Salon Receptionist on "Chicagolicious," who has gone on record in interview with a bite as follows:

"Being green is important to me because the environment is important to me...doing our part as humang beings to sustain the planet.  We live here.  We have a responsibility to it.  Sometimes we view the planet as being something nebulous, when in fact it - it is a living, breathing entity.  The grass and the trees represent the hair...the earth is the skin, it has a heartbeat, a central heartbeat.  The earth even has a navel.  Most people don't know that.  And we, as the inhabitants of the earth, have a responsibility to care for our mother.  Hence mother earth."

Below you'll find Tamara's bundt.  Good luck finding the navel.  (And deciphering which country is which...)

Welcome to Bundter Games!

In the Bundter Games, there can only be one victor. Supervising Producer Brian McCarthy brought cake and entertainment to the Monday meeting, presenting a "monkey bread" bundt that towered higher than a Jersey tease, as well as a Hunger Games inspired trivia contest for all to enjoy.

Brian moderated the first annual Bundter Games, and they were a resounding success. Both Michael Green and Tamara Blaich were chosen at the reaping as tributes to battle over who would receive next week's bundt.

To survive the Bundter Games, tributes must arm themselves with Jerseylicious knowledge and answer a series of trivia questions about the show. Ultimately, Tamara walked out of the Bundter Games arena victorious.

And, as Bundter Games champion, Tamara will return to her Chicagolicious district with the highly coveted orange bundt pan and privilege of baking a cake for next week. Congrats, Tamara, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Lane's "Chicagolicious" Bundt

Story Producer Lane Holland jump started our week with a bit of bubbly baked into the bundt.

As the first bundtee of the soon-to-be-smash "Chicagolicious," Lane decided to regale the entire JL/CL team with stories of the freewheeling, free-flowing behavior of Valencia, one of the show's top stylists.  Apparently, Valencia likes to drink morning champagne (a bit of "Veuve") in lieu of morning coffee, as evidenced by Lane's delicious pink champagne bundt.  With a cheap bottle of pink champagne baked right into the mix, it was so delicious that not even the two pregnant women working in our office could resist a slice of alcohol-drenched cake.  (Whatever, pregnant women did way worse things in the 60's...)

Let the bundts begin!

The smell of fresh frosting is in the air, baking pans are clanking through the hallways and fellow coworkers are approaching their desks with palpable anxiety. All of this can only add up one thing: it’s bundting season!

Executive producer Blake Levin kicked off the festivities on Monday by presenting a strawberry shortcake in bundt form. The cake was adorned with an assortment of running figurines, signifying the “fun run” theme for Season Four of Jerseylicious.

Unfortunately, one action figure was unable to finish the race due to note exhaustion.
