Folks Who Get It: Warren Brown Is The Martha Stewart Of Pastries

Talk About A Brother With Mad Skills

Cake connoisseur Warren Brown, the African American lawyer-turned-baker who owns a popular D.C. bakery and hosts a Food Network show, has a new book, "CakeLove: How to Bake Cakes from Scratch."

This black man is making me hungry. Big time!

Brown loves developing new recipes and products that are sold through his bakery and café or included in his new cook book, CakeLove. His career path has been anything but normal, and that adds to a lot of the excitement in the sweets he creates.

He completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University in 1993 with a BA in History, and graduate studies at The George Washington University in 1998 with a Juris Doctor and a master's in Public Health.

In 2000 Mr. Brown left his career as a lawyer litigating health care fraud on behalf of the federal government to pursue a dream and start a business. Sensing that people wanted better cake, he founded CakeLove in 2002. With a lot of hard work, positive word-of-mouth advertising, and direct marketing, Mr. Brown has grown his business from a moonlighting project into a thriving retail business.

In 2006 he was recognized for his entrepreneurial passion by the Small Business Administration and given the Small Business Person of the Year award for Washington, DC. In 2005 and 2006 his bakery CakeLove won the best bakery category in the Washington Post's Best Bets readers poll.

Mr. Brown has been recognized for his entrepreneurial spirit and featured by a number of media outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, People Magazine, Southern Living, Black Enterprise, Inc. Magazine, The Washington Post, and many others.

He also owns Love Cafe and hosts "Sugar Rush" on the Food Network.

In his new pastry cookbook, Brown discusses making 50 cakes, including pound, butter and sponge cakes, cupcakes and various glazes, frostings, meringues and fillings. Brown will have samples of confections to tempt your sweet tooth.

Black Chef Rock Harper Showed Everyone Who Was Boss In "Hell's Kitchen!"

Although this news is over a week old, we have to give it up to Rock Harper for being crowned the winning chef on FOX's 'Hell's Kitchen'. His wife, Tamara, and children, Elijah (7) and Leah (4), were all present when the 30-year-old Black man was given the great news.

Rock was previously the executive chef at B. Smith's restaurant. His new gig, as head chef at the new Italian restaurant in the Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa and Casino in Henderson, Nevada (outside Vegas) will pay the brotha $250,000 a year.

Much respect Mr. Harper. Now, what's for dinner???

LATIFAH IS A BLACK WOMAN WHO TAKES HER BURGERS WELL PAID! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

For those of you who don't know, FatBurgers is a L.A. phenomena that has gone global.

And now it looks like our resident queen has decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Queen Latifah, aka Dana Elaine Owens, has just lockdowned a FatBurger franchise in Miami. You go grrrl!

Not that the New York born raptress needs any more fries to go with that shake if you know what I mean, but we do applaud her business acumen.

Latifah, 37, is starring in "Hairspray," but it looks like what she'll really need is a hairnet!

For your next franchise Dana, how about "Salads To Go?"

ATTENTION ALL BLACK FOLKS: WE ARE WAY TOO BIG!

EW!!!!

With over two-thirds of Americans now overweight, 70 million over fifty pounds and another 70 million over one to forty-nine pounds, it just may take a combined effort of a diet pill and a diet compatible with that pill.

In February 2007, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals announced the FDA approval of the weight loss Orlistat in the form of a lesser dosage, 60 mg capsule, sold over-the-counter starting summer 2007.

It will cost 60 cents a capsule taken three times a day with each meal. The company recommends it not be used as a true stand-alone weight loss method, but only in combination with exercise and a diet that is reduced fat that contains about 15 grams of fat per meal.

Bacon Popcorn: You Know You Ghetto If...

Slap that sliced up hog in a large saucepan or dutch oven. When the bacon's sizzling hot and crisp, remove it and add popcorn kernels to the grease. When the corn is finished popping, season with pepper, a little salt, and the crumbled pieces of bacon.
