Butter’s Fine Food and Wine to add ‘Butter’s Nook Cafe’ to Existing Store

Posted By Butters Fine Food & Wine on May 4, 2011

Butter’s Fine Food and Wine will be making some small changes to the store within the next 2 weeks. Chef Owner Kristy Stephens Ammann says the plans are in place to put couches and tall tables in the back of the store so customers can have a place to eat their sandwiches, sit down during a wine tasting, or enjoy a cup of locally roasted coffee.

“We’re hoping to give our customer’s a place to socialize, conduct business, or surf the net on their computers.  It’s going to be like having a physical offline version of  ButtersBook”  (the new online food and drink social networking site).  “Now our customer’s will have a place to sit down for an extended amount of time and enjoy the food and the atmosphere that makes Butter’s Fine Food and Wine so special .”

Butter’s Fine Food and Wine just added 2 Bistro tables to the front of the store on Saturday  and customers seem to be enjoying them already.

The name of the cafe is to be named Butter’s Nook Cafe.  Butter’s already serves coffee  from a locally roasted coffee company, but plans to expand the selection and have coffee available from open to close, and possibly serve one or two varieties of  cupcakes all day too.

Great Cakes Don’t Come Quick or Frozen- Why Make-to-Order Cakes are The Best

Posted By Butters Fine Food & Wine on May 3, 2011

There are lots of well known, great, successful cake companies out there.   Most seem to have a quality product.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind when you are thinking about great cake.

#1- Great cakes take time to make-  Plan ahead.  Great cakes made from scratch aren’t going to be hanging out on a self waiting for someone to adopt them.  Typically, if a cake is the kind of cake that you can walk in an buy, it’s not as fresh as it could be. Sure, it’s convenient, but the quality will undoubtedly be compromised.    Fresh cake means that it will be as good as good as the skills of the baker that makes it, but it also means planning ahead to make sure the bakery has time to prepare the cake. This will ensure that you have a freshly made cake when you pick it up.

#2- Most cake companies that are producing a large number of cakes will bake off the cakes ahead of time (not the frosting) and freeze them.  Although this may help the bakery to produce the cake more easily and rapidly,  this method can dry out a cake and give it some off flavors.  Seek out a bakery or cakery that doesn’t freeze the cake ahead off time, or if they do, make sure that they use some kind vaccuum packaging with a high quality material that will lock in moisture .

Stick with these 2 very basic rules of thumb and you’ll always get a cake that is as good as the baker can make.

 

 

 

There’s a New Social Network in Town: ButtersBook… This Time it’s all about Food & Drink

Posted By Butters Fine Food & Wine on May 2, 2011

ButtersBook.com entered the Social Network scene 2 week ago, but this time it’s all about Food and Drink.  The creator says that it was time for a new social network, one that is dedicated to just that.

ButtersBook is designed to be simple, but flexible enough to allow users to discuss and share all they love and know about food and drink.  The cost is free, like most social networks.   Users can upload their own profile picture and there is a special email address assigned to each user so that  a photo of a dish, a beer, wine, cocktail, dessert,  etc. can be emailed to your account.   Users can then rank the food or drink, say if they “liked” it, allow others to do the same, and then discuss the food or drink item.

Users are allowed to “friend” each other, as seen on other sites too.

There are even login abilities using your existing Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or Google accounts after establishing a ButtersBook account, as long as the email address that you use at ButtersBook matches the email at Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or Google.

Updates are happening everyday and there are plans for a mobile device platform.  The site is already functional on the Ipad.  ButtersBook has also registered a Facebook account (www.facebook.com/buttersbook) and a Twitter account (www.twitter.com/buttersbook) in hopes of finding social networking foodies that would like a social networking site that is dedicated to just food and drink.

Foodies, food lovers, food critics, food writers, food bloggers, restaurants, bars,  chefs, brew masters, wine makers, bakers,  and anyone or any business in the food and drink industries are encouraged to join as either individuals or as a business.

Several well known chefs, restaurants, and food writers have already joined, as well as the Los Angeles based film company known as Generation Awesome, under their short skit series called ‘The Bartender Hates You”.

A link to join the has been provided below.
