KCET has been airing some of his best episodes, including the one where he visits The Donut Man for those epic strawberry sweeties…

This was just yellow box mix fancied up using Prosecco instead of water…

Okay, I know I’m not fooling anyone into thinking this is a giant donut. It’s a bundt cake with strawberries.

Congratulations to all the Oscar Nominations – especially my fellow Wesleyan alums for Beasts of the Southern Wild! Gotta start brainstorming ideas for the food menu for this year…hmmm…maybe I’ll bake a King Cake – Bundt of the Southern Wild???

I never thought to add prosecco to cake mix before – what a great idea!

Prosecco in cake mix–that is brilliant!

Yep, I’m definitely going to have to make this cake because it’s hard to go wrong with anything bubbly added to a cake. :) Sounds delightful!

And, like you, I’m thrilled for Beasts of the Southern Wild! We lived in Louisiana for an extended period of time, and I actually photographed the premier of the movie in Baton Rouge for a local magazine. It was a lovely time, and it just makes me so happy that the move has been so well-received!

Beast of the Southern Wild is just the best movie — already my winner of the Oscar! And the girl……
