Can we get back to some good old fashioned Sandra Lee hating, please?
I love this clip. It’s her “semi-homemade” Kwanzaa cake assembled with store-bought angel food cake, store-bought frosting she doctors with a little cocoa powder and cinnamon, and corn nuts.
She’s got great technique, this one. Measure out your dry ingredients by shaking them into the measuring spoons above your mixing bowl. This way, all the extras just get incorporated right into the recipe. No mess, no waste!
There’s a Hanukkah version too. This one is a store bought cake with store bought frosting, but Sandra makes it semi-homemade by adding a string of faux pearls (with a reminder that you shouldn’t eat them).
Has anyone observed Ina Garten actually paying for anything on her little shopping trips . . . ever? Maybe they just operate on the barter system in the Hamptons.
I don’t think I can recall ever seeing her pay, now that you mention it. Probably has a revolving credit account with all the food related businesses out there.
