Behold the splendor of this Angel Cake made to Rita’s recipe by Evanio Alves in Rio de Janeiro! I’m so thrilled to have a reader in Ipanema, and he test cooks for me too! I’m so jealous of his cake, mine never looks like this…. I’m thinking I should buy a proper metal tube pan, [...]

Rita Hayworth’s Angel’s Food Cake
The plan tonight was to make a Claudette Colbert Cake for James Rumsey’s homecoming. But I suddenly remembered James saying he didn’t like lemony things so a Rita Hayworth Cake it is instead. It is smelling GOOD. Am very pleased to report a lovely date number 2 with Mr PH. He really is very charming. [...]
Claudette Colbert Cake
Ooh, I had an outfit a bit like that on Second Life. Been so long since I went there though I’ll have forgotten how to do everything I’m sure. I did enjoy meditating by the fountains with doves flying around though. Oh and I did like my little witches’ familiar – a little owl with [...]
Rita Hayworth’s Angel Food Cake
Oh my goodness Rita was so gorgeous. Here’s a picture for fans of “opera gloves” – there is a whole site dedicated to film stars wearing opera gloves somewhere in this crazy world that is the internet. There’s an Angel (Dust) Food Cake in the oven. I’m trying a new technique – cooking it on [...]
Claudette Colbert’s Claudette Colbert Cake
I’ve been putting off testing this as it looked like a bit of a challenge. It was, but it was worth it! Basically I made a Rita Hayworth’s Angel Cake then followed Claudette’s instructions for fancifying it with home made lemon curd filling and lemony frosting. Oh YUMSKI as my French colleague Marie-Agathe put it. [...]

Last time I tried to whip the [...]
Rita Hayworth’s Angel Food Cake
I am seeing my Shellac Sister Jean this evening and I’d forgotten that she had quite a success with the Rita Hayworth cake. We are DJing at Kokos in Camden (formerly the Camden Palace) and I’m going to ask her about her egg white whisking between discs. It’s the first time I have really felt [...]
Rita Hayworth’s Angel Food Cake
“We are all tied to our destiny and there is no way we can liberate ourselves.“ Hmm, but what does destiny have in store for me Rita, Rita Peanut Eater? I have a Rita Hayworth’s Angel’s Food Cake in the oven, to be followed by a Gloria Swanson’s Devil’s Food Cake. These are for a [...]
Rita Hayworth’s Angel Food Cake
“After all, a girl is – well, a girl. It’s nice to be told you’re successful at it.” I should say you were Rita! Extremely successful at it! I’m going to be channeling Rita’s spirit during my birthday week. I have bought myself a birthday gift – heated rollers – and will be attempting to [...]
What is Hominy?
“After all, a girl is – well, a girl. It’s nice to be told you’re successful at it.” My new (and most expensive ever) film star recipe book has arrived on my doorstep and I am beside myself with excitement. There are some super fab recipes in there including one (at last) by Rita Hayworth. [...]
