Thursday, July 14, 2011
OK friends, I know its been a while. We've been very busy at Peacecake! We are doing gluten free catering now. With so many choices in our line of sweets ....it was a natural. We've also been very busy with our fresh baked cookies. Lots of baking going on these past weeks ,and our website is ever changing to reflect all the yummy additions we'll be adding for the fall.
But, for now, I want to let you know that we are taking a well needed break from baking and wrapping up cookies. We are heading out to the west coast to eat our way through the streets of San Francisco.
We will be searching out for good and tasty finds, fresh ideas, old friends we haven't seen in a while, and some inspiration to get us rejuvenated again. Everyone needs a break now and then !
Be sure to follow us on Twitter as we take you through the daily adventures of the city by the bay. You don't want to miss one descriptive morsel of yum ! We begin our journey Monday, July 18, so be sure to follow us.
Oh yeah, we had to close shop, but when we come back, we'll have some excitingly delicious wonders awaiting our fabulous fans......YOU! Thanks for always being there!
Stay tuned ..............Peace out for now~

We just opened our store on Etsy, and its easier than ever to click, order, mix and bake. We have just added our gluten free line of baking mixes to start. Oh yes, we have our vegan mixes coming soon, but it will be a little while longer before we add those. We've been very busy working on a new line of goodies that are not quite ready to share.

Melting chocolate.........be in control!
Some folks have asked this question, "Whats the best way to melt chocolate?". Ok, so I thought I would give you a few options. First, chop or grate the chocolate because it will melt much more evenly this way. Below are four options for melting. Here ya go!
1. You can melt it in a heavy saucepan on very, very low heat stirring constantly. However, you must be super vigilant to avoid scorching. Chocolate can be very tricky.
2. You can melt it in the oven at 200 degrees F till its stirrable and soft.
3. You can melt it in the microwave in a glass bowl for a minute or more. You must keep an eye on it here though.
4. This is the best way to melt chocolate. I prefer in the top of a double boiler, over some simmering water and stirring constantly. You have more control here, which is the best way to melt chocolate . Being in control.

Once you have determined you need to be eating gluten free, its important to read labels to be sure you know exactly whats in the foods you are eating.
The following are frequently overlooked foods that may sometimes contain gluten:
Thickeners
Soy Sauce
Seasonings
Marinades
Coatings
Broths
Candy
Croutons
Soups
The above sometimes can have hidden traces of wheat and /or gluten. Don't take a chance. You can always get in touch with the manufacturer to be sure.
