Things have been a little crazy the past few weeks— we moved to a bigger, badder kitchen with a way better sound system. Life is good.

But before the move, we had the chance to be part of the Pride Week party at StoryCorps, a non-profit oral history project in Brooklyn. StoryCorps records conversations between everyday people and archives them at the Library of Congress— it’s the largest collection of its kind, and it is awesome. You may have seen their recording booth in downtown Manhattan, or heard their broadcasts Friday mornings on NPR. If you haven’t, spend a little time here: storycorps.org/listen.

To help raise awareness for StoryCorps OutLoud, an initiative to record and preserve LGBT histories across the country, they threw a wicked garden party and invited us to make the cupcakes. We brought over red velvet with vanilla buttercream and candied pecans, and chocolate with salted caramel.

Thanks to StoryCorps for letting us party with them for such a good cause. If you live in New York, bring a friend or family member to their booth and record your own story.
