Working at Southern Living for almost 20 years, yes I said 20 years, I finally feel like I can make my son's birthday cake.  I tackled this great quest by making a 3 layer vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. I made 45 fondant Legos. It only took 3 days to make those bright Legos. I was so proud of my self and my son was proud too. There was nothing left but smiles on their faces Now I am making cakes for my friends and have lost the fear of baking a birthday cake. Check it out. BulletRead More

A Cornbread Confession

Posted by: Marian Cairns, September 9, 2009 in In the Kitchen

Cornbread-foccacia-sl-1918542-s I use to carry a secret as I walked the halls here at Southern Living. I don't really like cornbread, I know absolutely shocking! A member of the THE test kitchen that doesn't like cornbread?!?!?! It took a culinary epiphany to realize why, I have been doing it all wrong. I felt like Micheal Keaton in the movie Mr. Mom. He's in the car pool line for the first time and there's a knock at the window by an angry patrol mom........"SIR, SIR YOUR DOING IT WRONG hello sirrrrrrrrr your doing it wrong," as she bangs recklessly on the woody station wagon window (he is entering the car pool line clearly going in the wrong direction) O-M-G! I was totally him, behind the wheel of some pitiful quick bread.
