Pies and Tarts by Martha Stewart
Many good recipes, presentation ideas, and directions.
Verna's Cake Decorations
Verna's, on Massachusetts Avenue in North Cambridge, is an excellent and economical source of most commonly needed needed cake, pie, and candy making and decorating needs.
Upton Tea Company
The Upton Tea Company (1-800-234-8327) has a wide selection of fine teas. We particularly like some of the lower-tannin Darjeelings, such those from Makaibari, Arya, and Namring, which complement many sweet and savory items. (Of course, the tea will differ from one vintage or flush to another.) We also recommend, with complementary flavors, Huan Shan Sunset tea, a blend of an exquisite Keemun with peach.
