The Bite:
imagePrefer to labor over eating cake, rather than baking it? Easy: Get Brooklyn's Sarah Magid to whip up a fancy-ish organic cake for you (or pick one up ready-made). SM uses local ingredients from NY farms like Hawthorne Valley and Red Jacket Orchards and decorates 'em - dark chocolate with espresso buttercream, vanilla bean, or carrot - with snowflakes and metallic icing or colorful-sugary bird nests and flowers (see photo). She also tackles the Twinkie: Behold the Goldies - organic dark chocolate sponge cake filled with vanilla cream and topped with dark chocolate ganache and schmancy edible golden powder. Down a couple in one sitting? Piece of cake.
Wanna Try: 
Cakes by Sarah Magid, available at Jan & Aya, 99 Franklin St., Brooklyn. Map It (718-609-1404). The Goldies, $6 each. Ready-made cakes, starting at $20. Custom cakes, email Sarah here for an estimate.

Cocktail Fact

A Twinkie will explode after 45 seconds in the microwave.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters opt for an organic cake instead of a nonorganic one for dessert, we'll keep the weight of 100 bakers in pesticides out of the environment.
