Have you noticed all the white cakes on magazine covers this month? Southern Living always has what they jokingly refer to as the Big White Cake on the cover of their Christmas issue, but Taste of Home and Tea Time have followed suit this year with their own white cakes.
Southern Living's cake comes with a bit of a twist this year. The recipe for the cover cake is included in the magazine, but so is a variation on the cake from Publix.
And Publix has an ad in the new Southern Living that is simply one of the prettiest teatime images I've seen all year. Isn't this gorgeous? It caught my eye immediately as I flipped through the magazine. I note with interest that the ad says, "For tasting tips and ideas, visit publix.com/holiday tea." Click there now if you want to see another version of this lovely photo.
So this year, Publix has partnered with Southern Living and included in the December issue this little foldout leaflet, which has the recipe for a variation on the Big White Cake, an organic option with cranberry filling. There's also a gluten-free option, which is available online here along with the organic cake recipe.
And lest you think I'm only promoting Southern Living, I'm stepping outside the South to let you know that the December issue of Food Network Magazine hasn't forgotten tea lovers either.
Matcha Palmiers, anyone?
Or Chai Meringue Drops, perhaps? I'm going to be doing plenty of Christmas baking in the days ahead, and it's so nice to have so many great new recipes to try. Have you tried any of these yet?
The Chai Meringue drops sound good. I’ve got the family favorites to bake and a few new treats to try.
ReplyDeleteThat's really IS a beautiful photo from Publix with the old silver teapot. I haven't done any holiday baking yet, but I do love looking at all the pretty food pictures in the magazines. And my sister in Chapel Hill is a great cookie baker, and she has sent me a box of her wonderful treats, so I'm eagerly awaiting that in the mail!
