ShoeBoxOven Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 If we can only get her assistant Steve to agree on musical taste--and to keep him away from the ladies--hopefully you won't have to look too far. Ha! I doubt anyone can keep go-go from my GodBrother. As far as the ladies, I think he is under your tutelage...uh-oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Landrum Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Sad News...this is the last week for LSO at the Arlington farmers market for the season Hopefully we'll get updated on where to find those rediculously good cupcakes during the winter. If we can only get her assistant Steve to agree on musical taste--and to keep him away from the ladies--hopefully you won't have to look too far.

mame11 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Y'all... The Shoebox Oven is open for business through Amazon.com. Plus, if you order by December 23 at 10 p.m., you can have delicious treats delivered for Christmas on Christmas! Here is a link http://www.shoeboxoven.com/ I picked up a stash of Pao de Quajio last week. Hate to admit, I already need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeBoxOven Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thank you NCPinDC! Wish Amazon.com was an investor. But not so. One can actually buy straight from www.shoeboxoven.com. And on the site there are some of ShoeBox Oven's favorites (some from Amazon, others from artists the Oven likes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia R Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It was good to see the update on Shoebox in the Cupcake article today. "I can't imagine how much money it costs to have a storefront," says Krishna Brown, owner of ShoeBoxOven.com, a Silver Spring-based online bakery. "I didn't have the funding to support an actual infrastructure, but I didn't think that should stop me."Brown, 32, began selling her baked goods at the Arlington Farmers Market last May and had so much success she quit her full-time job doing Web design for the Peace Corps to open ShoeBox Oven in November. Now, each morning at 2 she takes over the kitchen at Ray's the Classics restaurant in Silver Spring and whips up desserts for wholesale and individual retail patrons. In the months she has been open, individual sales have fluctuated between four orders a week and more than 30 a week. The desserts are delivered the same day they are made, and pickups are available at both Ray's restaurants (the other is Ray's the Steaks in Arlington). While 85 percent of her business is for pickup or delivery, she has shipped by two-day mail to destinations as far away as Albuquerque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a story that everyone who is a member of the Don Rockwell community is a part of, and should be proud of; Don and Krishna especially. Let's keep it growing.

Pat Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Walking by the Marvelous Market next to Eastern Market this afternoon, I noticed something on their outside sign about Shoebox Oven products. It was super busy there, so there wasn't an opportunity to inquire inside about what that meant. I looked around and didn't see anything, but it was fairly late in the day. Whatever items there might have been were gone, or I may have missed them. Does anyone know more about this? I'd love the opportunity to pick up some baked goods from Shoebox Oven.

mame11 Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 It has been too long since I have been able to partake in the Shoebox Oven's baked goodies. The first week she was at the market I got there early but yet too late to get anything. Since then I have either been on the road or unable to make it. This morning I was lured to Arlington by fig danishes. It is clear that in the past year the Shoebox Oven's skills have improved, because what was good is now great. The sausage puffs had a much better texture than they did last year, with a nice amount of filling. I didn't even heat them for them to be good. The quiche with spinach and asparagus was delicious and a perfect summer breakfast treat. The fig danish was in fact a brioche with figs and orange pastry cream. It was good, but I actually prefer the version from last year which was more simple and had no cream. Seriously, get to the Arlington market when you can, early enough to taste the Shoebox Ovens yummy delights. Her range has expanded this year to include cole slaw and savory pies.

laniloa Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Picked up some Amor and the Samurai at the market yesterday (thanks for the recommendation CF). These are GOOD. I love the combo of chocolate and chile. Put it into a rich but light, crunchy crust with custardy inside cake and I'm a very happy camper. I rationed these to one every 3 hours and made the drive home in one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it gets everything a little to sticky when eating it that way while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a 12 hour drive, what's a 15 minute detour to the grocery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcpolicywonk Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've had the Champagne Chocolate and the Armor and Samurai and they are sooooo good! I'm a fan of chocolate and chile (love the sweet/smoky/hot combo) and the champagne chocolate is pure decadence. I haven't been to the market in a few weeks but I've got to get there early or there isn't much left. Glad to see that the bakery is doing well. I'm long overdue to pick up some treats.

Lydia R Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Congrats to Krishna for her cooking spot on TV9's Saturday Morning show today. I only caught the end of show sign-off when they tasted her Lemon Madeleines. Not sure if they'll upload the video of her cooking spot, but here's the recipe link.
