Listen "Community Cake"
Episode Synopsis
Nostalgia is a huge factor in the baking traditions in the African American culinary canon and the keepers of southern cake and desserts recipes are preserving that legacy for a whole new generation. In this episode, I talk with Chef Colette Knight (@gudgudpudin) of Atlanta-based Gud Gud Puddin about her family legacy of hospitality service and how she’s using her new specialty dessert company as a rebirth of her professional life and her passion for community building as well as pastry artist Arley Bell (@arley.cakes) of Richmond-based Arley Cakes whose practice pairs social responsibility with entrepreneurship to model the possibilities for this era of civil rights activism.
