I Have to Call You Back, It’s On
If you’re a DCist regular, you know that we’ve posted once or twice or thrice or more times about Warren Brown and CakeLove. We find ourselves here yet again, with Warren stepping up to washingtonpost.com’s chatters to discuss the local furor that is his refrigerated cake. We thought about live-blogging the chat, but decided that was too meta for us; we’re opting for the post-incident run down instead.

Fortunately for all of our sanity, the chat was tame enough. The intractable debate between the “let it sit and warm” and the “need to eat it now” camps on the cake made little headway. Warren again “invited” us to let it warm up, likening it to the process of chilling white wine (a poor analogy, for those of you studying the LSAT). Rabble rousers continued to poke at him about how it isn’t realistic to wait (all of whom are apparently starving to death). We just like cake, and think all of it tastes pretty good cold or room temperature.

The chat wasn’t all hissing and scratching, though. Turns out CakeLove2 is opening up in Silver Spring in the next few weeks, and Warren will continue to travel all over creation with his Food Network showSugar Rush. He’s eyeing opening a place friendly to people with special dietary needs, and he knows a good recipe for seven-minute icing.

While we’re skeptical about the primacy of his cakes in the D.C. market, we certainly applaud him for striking out to bake up some goodness, butter, fat and all.
