Color Me Bad: Greens and Blues of the Week

Head over to Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie shop in Brooklyn to try their matcha custard (made with Ippodo’s matcha!) @birdsblack #regram #pie #matchacustard #ippodo #matcha

The week in which I fell victim to social media marketing. Despite being slightly irked by that matcha custard pie showing up all over Instagram, I also really wanted to eat that matcha custard pie showing up all over Instagram.

Then I got all caught up with the coconut blue punch that was so tangentially featured in the New York spread on Mission Chinese chef Angela Dimayuga catering a meal for the cast of Hamilton (am I the only human who knows nothing about this show and am indifferent to learning more?) that the recipe wasn’t even included.

We ordered a very special cake from @silkcakes in #foresthills so of course I had to get some delicious cupcakes and try some of their holiday treats! This is the green tea cupcake with blueberry buttercream #queensistasty #foresthillsny #queens #queensnyc #queenssweets #queensistasty #queenseats #food #foresthillsfood #heartofqueens

Oof, but Silk Cakes, the Forest Hills bakery with Smorgasburg Queens presence has a green tea cupcake topped with blueberry buttercream, uniting blues and greens in a single morsel. And the circle was complete.
