National Devil’s Food Cake Day

Omaha Food Events Calendar — Tue, 19 May 2009 00:00:00 -0500

May 19, 2009
This rich, dense, chocolaty cake dates back to the early 20th century and was invented in the Southern U.S., originally made from beets and cocoa. Its signature red color set it apart from the earlier, fluffy white Angel’s Food Cake. Also known as Red Velvet Cake, Red Devil’s Cake and Waldorf Astoria Cake, this sinfully decadent dessert first appeared in cookbooks in 1902. By 1970 the cake’s popularity faded when red dye, which often is used to kick-up the color, was linked to cancer.

National Grape Popsicle Day

Omaha Food Events Calendar — Wed, 27 May 2009 00:00:00 -0500

May 27, 2009
Originally named the Epsicle, the Popsicle was invented in 1905 by 11-year-old Frank Epperson, who left a mixture of powdered soda and water in a cup with a stirring stick outside overnight. That evening San Francisco had a record low temperature and Epperson woke to find what someday would become his $60 million fortune. Epperson sold his frozen-flavored ice on a stick at an amusement park in Oakland, Calif., and was issued a patent in 1924. Today, the Popsicle, renamed by Epperson’s kids, is the No. 1 kid’s novelty brand. SOURCE: http://www.thereader.com/dish.php?subaction=showfull&id=1178129932&archive=&start_from=&ucat=14&
