Ode to Flutter

Thou still generous bride of pastriness

Thou baker-child with saucepan, sage and thyme

Souffle historian, who canst thus express

A floury tale more sweetly than our rhyme

What leaf-fring'd foodstuffs do you bake

Of deities, or mortals or both,

On Table or the trestles beneath Plate?

What women or gods made these? Your process bold?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to a taste?

Made this yummy sugar-free red velvet cake.


With my sincere apologies to Keats.

Recipe by Flutter. Leaves by Hollis.

  13. I really ought to try this, sugar free or otherwise, with a name like that it would seem impossible not to be good. And Flutter, well she does sprinkle everything with a special kind of magic.
