Cranberry Island Kitchen
We started baking on Little Cranberry Island years ago. At first, it was just something to do on foggy days; then it became something we looked forward to, and planned for. We thought the mussel shapes would add a little elegance to our Whoopie pie recipe, and the clam is humble, but delicious, just like the island Buttermilk cake that has it’s shape. Of course we had to make something in a lobster shape. We had just read Trevor Corson’s book, The Secret Life of Lobsters, and lobster is so much of what makes a Maine island. We’ve never outgrown the habit of collecting shells and seaglass, and for us it’s a natural process to combine our recipes with the magical forms we find at the shore.
