The Stinking Rose. Cake.

I have a unshakable childhood memory of being home sick from school and watching Suzanne Somers on the Dinah Shore show talk about how she put garlic on ice cream. Perhaps that is what made me the person I am today, with clear boundaries between garlic and dessert. Not everyone has learned this lesson. Pictured here, a garlic cake with onion frosting that won first place at a backyard garlic festival. Not pictured: shallot cream puffs, ramp cookies, and scallion macarons. YET. —Snacktime
