We got to thinking, we love cake....obviously....and we're obsessed with fiddle.... tunes, settings, players, paraphenalia, luthiers, string shops, techniques, sessions, fiddle camps, ephemera, festivals, gigs and trying to play at 116bpm. Sigh. Sometimes the fiddlers make cakes, and sometimes they just eat them. Shop Stewards : KAREN BROWN (Scottish and Irish Fiddle - inventor of the dog ear protector and scone mistress) HANNAH MARCUS (indie rockstress, Scottish, Irish and Old Time Fiddle - folk art baker). Join the Union, bake a cake, tell us about your fiddle, your session, your resource....the calories don't count if you practice a lot or dance while you're baking.It makes me wonder what other instrument/dish combinations could follow suit...clarinets and cabernets...cymbals and soup...but there isn't a thing I can think of to match fiddles combined with cakes. Fiddles and Cake, Forever!

Fiddles...and Cake!
If you have a distaste for either fiddles or cake, then I hope you can forgive me for this post, which I write to welcome (belatedly) the blog Fiddles and Cake, which also elected to be part of the blogger minima template club. From the Brooklyn Fiddlers Union profile page....

Hm. Maybe when I buy my new flute (saving, saving) I could think of flutes and fruit, since I apply my mouth to both?
Well, I hope the works out for your soon. Why don't you get one of those tiny Irish tin whistles in the meantime? I bet the plants would love it, and we could play Over the Waterfall (slowly.)

And it's right about time for Fiddleheads. Simple, with a little salt and butter. Oh, trumpets and crumpets. Flugelhorns and kugles.
