TASTE OF THE TOWN
NOTHING BUNDT CAKES
Love at First Bite Artisan Bundt cakes crafted to perfection
N
By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter
othing Bundt Cakes are so special you will always remember when you had your first one. When you take that first bite and taste the moist, fudgy cake with its delectable signature cream cheese frosting, you know you’re hooked. Holly Waud tried her first cake in California and knew she had to bring this incredible franchise to Oregon. These aren’t like any Bundt cake you’ve had before! Nothing Bundt Cakes features the tastiest cake flavors generously adorned with rich and creamy frosting and are perfect for any occasion, or even just because. The Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise was founded in 1997 by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz in their home kitchens and has since grown into a brand that values high-quality ingredients, hand-crafted recipes, and the warmth of genuine hospitality. Holly Waud opened Nothing Bundt Cakes in Happy Valley almost ten years ago and owns that bakery, in addition to the Tualatin location (with a partner). As a franchise owner, she’s called a “Bundt Boss.” “What I like best about the cakes is their consistent quality,” says Holly. “It’s great to offer a good product that people can count on.” Cakes come in over ten delicious flavors, including monthly featured flavors like lemon raspberry and an always-available gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. “My most popular is white chocolate raspberry, followed closely by chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet, and lemon. Chocolate chocolate chip is the original flavor,” Holly shares. “And we’re in pumpkin spice season, which people go crazy for.” Each cake is amply frosted with rich and gooey signature cream cheese frosting you’ll want to eat by the spoonful. Sizing options are designed to help you customize your order to fit any occasion or gift. “Eight-inch and ten-inch cakes are available individually or as a two-tier. Personal Bundtinis are sold

by the dozen, and Bundlets are sold individually and serve one to two people,” explains Holly. Adding some themed aesthetic to your cakes is a must and Nothing Bundt Cakes will adorn them with fun and colorful decorations for any occasion, including holidays, birthdays, retirement parties, weddings, baby showers, corporate gifts, sporting events, and more. And these aren’t your typical cake decorations. “Because it’s a Bundt cake with a hole in the middle, we build the decorations on the cake. We use colorful flags and big bows.,” Holly says. They also have in-store candles, cards, and gift items, making it a one-stop shop. “If you were in a pinch to provide a gift to someone, you could just stop by, and we could either decorate a cake for you or make a threeBundtini tower, hit you with a greeting card, and you’re on your way,” says Holly. Customers can order in person, via phone, online, or through third-party delivery apps like Doordash and Ubereats. Unless it’s a major holiday, most items can be ready in as little as one hour. This is the ultimate convenience for a lastminute party or gift!
In true Bundt Boss fashion, Holly perpetuates a warm and friendly environment where people want to be. She has many long-term employees and regulars she’s known since opening. “It’s honestly just so nice to be part of the community, make connections, get to know people,” Holly says. Giving back to the community is also a priority. “We do a lot of donations and fundraising with schools and other local organizations. If interested, they should contact us at clackamas@nothingbundtcakes.com. My GM Ruby and manager Jill will be happy to work with anyone.” Whether you need a ten-inch cake for a family birthday or a dozen Bundintis to bring to your work party, the perfect combination of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth cake frosted with decadent cream cheese frosting of
Nothing Bundt Cakes will brighten the day. “Anytime I’ve shared this cake with anyone, they’ve been happy to receive it. And it’s not a gift that gets dusty. If you’ve gifted someone this cake, they will eat it,” says Holly with a laugh. Nothing Bundt Cakes is located at 9895 SE Sunnyside Rd. Suite G, Clackamas. Please give them a call at 503-659-3888, or visit their website at nothingbundtcakes.com.

Driving Away Hunger Car donations = 580 meals to neighbors in need
while providing a wonderful opportunity for men and women to receive vocational training while in our New Life Program. Then, when the vehicle is sold, 100% of the proceeds go back to providing shelter, meals, and life-restoring programs available free of charge to those in need. Last year Portland Rescue Mission provided 261,358 nutritious meals and 47,045 nights of safe shelter, as well as serving 295 men, women, and children in short and long-term programs.

ince 1949, the goal of Portland Rescue Mission has always been to give hope and restore the lives of people who struggle with hunger, homelessness and addiction. Our Drive Away Hunger vehicle donation program plays a huge role in doing just that, as each car donated provides an average of about 580 meals to neighbors in need. More often than not a hot meal at our Burnside Shelter is our first opportunity to meet someone, learn their name, hear their story, and explore what additional support and services we can offer to help them become healthy and self-sufficient. When a vehicle is donated to Portland Rescue Mission’s Drive Away Hunger program our staff will work alongside program participants to ensure that the car can pass a 70-point safety inspection. This increases the value of the car, providing the highest possible tax-deduction to the donor. It also ensures that whoever purchases the car gets a safe, reliable automobile all the

HISTORY
THE HISTORY OF COFFEE
The Humble Bean to Bold Beverage From 9th century North Africa to your local cafe By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
A
s rain falls from the skies of the Pacific Northwest, so too does coffee pour into the cups of local residents adding pep to their step and steamy, warm, comfort to lift the spirits. But where did coffee come from in the first place, and just how did it become one of the most popular beverages around the world? While no one can definitively pinpoint precisely when coffee was invented, nor the name of the first person to roast coffee beans, grind them, and mix them with water, historians agree that coffee originated in the areas of modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. Legend tells of a 9th century goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed that his goats, after eating coffee berries, became so energetic that they barely slept all night. Kaldi reported his discovery to the abbot of a local monastery who brewed a drink with the berries which increased alertness for the monks through their long hours of evening prayers. It wasn’t long before word spread to the nearby Arabian Peninsula of the miraculous drink, and traders R12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
eventually Clement himself, after tasting the new beverage, introduced found it pleasing. Instead of banning coffee, he coffee bestowed his blessing upon the drink. With the throughout Pope’s blessing, the green light went on for coffee the region. throughout Christendom. Illustration of Kaldi While As for the Americas, coffee crossed the Kaldi and the coffee drinking monks are Atlantic in the 17th and 18th centuries from anything but a historical fact, it is known Europe. In North America, coffee arrived in the for certain that by the 15th century, New World from the British via New Amsterdam coffee houses had spread throughout the — later renamed New York by the American Near East. From Turkey to Egypt, these colonists. One event in particular that served establishments became not only places as the impetus for coffee culture in the United to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, but popular States was the tax on tea levied on the colonists spots to socialize, listen to music, play by King George games, and learn of current events. III. The subsequent As for Europe, historians point to Boston Tea Party that the Siege of Vienna by the Turks in 1683 erupted as a result as one of the key events instrumental of this tax spurred in the spread of coffee to the West. In many Americans to the aftermath of the war, coffee from abandon tea for coffee, the Turks made its way to Viennese to the point that locals who became enamored with the Thomas Jefferson later new beverage. As time passed, coffee proclaimed coffee as houses emerged not only in Vienna, but “the favorite drink of throughout Austria and neighboring the civilized world.” countries as well. It is the Austrians who The Caribbean, are credited with the addition of milk Central, and South and sugar to coffee. America owe their Around the same time, the beverage coffee industry to a young French naval officer, Gabriel also arrived in Italy, likely through Venetian traders who ranged throughout de Clieu, who smuggled a seedling from a coffee plant in the Middle East and North Africa. the Royal Botanical Garden in While coffee provoked suspicion in Paris (the plant had been a gift from some, such as the advisors of Pope the Mayor of Amsterdam to King Louis Clement VIII who went so far as to XIV) and transported it across the Atlantic call it the “bitter invention of Satan,”
to the island of Martinique, despite attempts by a saboteur to kill the plant, an attack by pirates, and severe storms at sea. This hardy seedling went on to parent all the coffee trees cultivated throughout this part of the world — a region that has become one of the premier coffee production areas on the planet. Brazil’s famous coffee owes its start to Francisco de Melo Palheta, who was dispatched by the governor of Brazil to help mediate a conflict between neighboring French and Dutch Guiana. Arriving in Cayenne, the capital city of French Guiana, part of Palheta’s mission was to smuggle some coffee plants which were closely guarded by the French. As the story goes, a romantic dalliance between Palheta and the wife of the Governor of Cayenne led to her passing a bouquet to a Brazilian officer containing a coffee seedling concealed among the flowers. This seedling was supposedly the progenitor of Brazil’s coffee industry. Whether the romantic part of the story is true or not, it is documented that Palheta was successful in bringing thousands of coffee seeds and several plants back to Brazil. Gabriel de Clieu By the 18th century, coffee had grown to be one of the world’s most profitable commodities. Consumption and popularity in the U.S. grew, particularly during the Civil War, and enterprising businessmen such as brothers John and Charles Arbuckle grew wealthy selling pre-roasted coffee by the pound to cowboys in the West. James Folger, who peddled coffee to gold miners in California, also profited greatly. Big name coffee brands including Maxwell House and Hills Brothers quickly followed suit. Following World War II, instant coffee was developed, simplifying the coffee-making process, though not necessarily improving the flavor. With the emergence of Starbucks in Seattle in 1971, the quality of coffee available to the consumer improved through better sourcing and preparation techniques. Consistent, quality coffee became available to people across America, with beverages tailored specifically to the palate of each individual customer. Today, the coffee revolution has evolved. Small, independently owned coffee shops are taking it to
the next level. A focus on sustainability, local roasting, and fair trade beans are at the forefront of the new movement. Sourcing, roasting techniques, and brewing methods are all aspects of the equation that today’s coffee entrepreneurs are relentlessly improving in their drive to bring the highest quality coffee to market. So, the next time you’re enjoying a steaming coffee beverage — whether it be a latte, mocha, cold brew, espresso, or just a plain old cup of Joe — know that the history behind the humble coffee bean, and its evolution through time, was a long and arduous journey filled with lively characters, distant places, and enterprising individuals who treasured this miraculous bean of the tropics.

MEET THE ARTIST
ISABEAU WAIA’U WALKER
From Teacher to Full-Time Musician ‘Bright gloom’ indie music makes lasting impression
I
By Dennis McNabb, Staff Writer
sabeau Waia’u Walker is all of those things and so much more, all wrapped up in one perfectly imperfect package. Born in California and raised in Hawaii as a Kanaka Maoli wahine (Native Hawaiian woman), where her family returned to shortly after she was born. She moved “temporarily” to Oregon to attend Warner Pacific University, but fell so deeply in love with the local community she never left. It’s a fortunate turn of events for us, because after a lifetime of considering her talents to be avocational, she recently retired from teaching to commit full-time to the pursuit of her passion: music. A ubiquitous presence in her life since childhood, music was, and is, simply an integral part of Isabeau’s Photo by Mary Putulin identity. It’s a key aspect of her culture. It’s in her blood. Her entire family sings and/or plays an instrument, and those songs that they “performed” during family gatherings not only planted the seeds of her inspiration, but also helped to inform and develop her unique sound. Make no mistake, Isabeau has “arrived.” One listen to her most recent output will quell any doubts about that. Much like the legendary “Road to Hana,” it has been a long and windy road. Tentative steps were initially taken in the early 2000s. Isabeau recorded an EP, but the songs were experimental, a little rough by her current standards, and she had yet to find her voice. A second EP followed a few years later. That one was better, but still more of a learning experience than an actual representation of who she is as an artist. It wasn’t until 2020, when she put out her 3rd EP and first official release, entitled “Better Metric,” that she discovered her sound. To announce her arrival in grand fashion, her track, “Woman” from that EP made OPB’s list of top songs in 2020. Of course, COVID hit at the same time and all of her plans to tour and promote the album were instantly scrapped. That could have derailed a lesser creative, but instead she utilized that time
10 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
to write and record her “first full length, “The Body,” which came out in May of 2022. A highly personal and emotional album, the songs on this one delve deep into what it means to be a woman, to reconnect with the physical body as well as the spiritual and to embrace every facet of what that entails. Taken directly from her journal, her lyrics provide a window into the soul of an incredible woman and an amazing artist. To paraphrase from her website, Isabeau is “bright gloom.” Her songs are “soothing and soft while powerful.” They are “accessible while complex,” “sweet [while] aching.” There is a duality that reverberates through the layers of her music which brings such tension and depth that it invites repeated listenings for full digestion. Beautiful and devastating, her haunting and ethereal voice makes a lasting impression, no small feat in today’s musical landscape. And this is just the beginning. With the support of her producer, Ryan Oxford, and manager, Dan Cable, Isabeau has returned to the studio and began recording her second full-length album. She also has a crowdfunding campaign—to support paying the artists involved—launching next month. Do yourself a favor and seek out this local rising star. You can stream her music on Spotify, follow her on Instagram @ beaubeaubarina, or watch her amazing collection of videos on Youtube. If you want to support the cause, you can find her on Patreon.com\Isabeau. And don’t forget to watch her live shows! She performs both as a solo act and also with the band, Y La Bamba.

SEASONAL
THE HISTORY OF SANTA CLAUS
The Magical Legend of Santa Claus 1600 years in the making
A
By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
s the holiday season rolls around, Santa Claus assumes center stage. But where exactly did this rotund, jovial old man in a red suit originate, and how did he become the iconic symbol of Christmas that he is today? In truth, the history of Santa Claus is a fascinating tale that intertwines folklore, legends, and a sprinkle of entrepreneurial ingenuity. Santa Claus, as we know him today, traces his roots back to a number of historical figures, each contributing to the contemporary version we know and love. Perhaps the earliest inspiration for Santa Claus was Saint Nicholas, a Christian bishop of the 4th century, renowned for his acts of kindness and gift-giving. In time, Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, archers and brewers, among others. In the British Isles, a character known as Father Christmas emerged during the mid-17th century and was frequently depicted as a bearded man garbed in green, symbolizing the spirit of the season. By the 18th century, however, the concepts of Father Christmas and Saint Nicholas merged, resulting in a hybrid figure that blended elements from both traditions. The American version of Santa Claus began to take shape in the 18th century. Influenced by Dutch and German settlers, the name “Santa Claus” evolved from the Dutch term “Sinterklaas.” During this period, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (commonly known as “The Night Before Christmas”), a poem published in 1823, played a pivotal role in shaping the modern image of Santa. This poem described Santa
12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
as a rotund gift-giver in a red suit who utilized chimneys rather than the front door for his Christmas visits. The poem, attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, established not only Santa’s magical nighttime journey around the world delivering toys to children, but specified his vehicle of choice as a sleigh powered by eight reindeer with specific names and attributes. Also introduced in the poem was the idea of Santa monitoring children on his “naughty and nice” list and filling stockings accordingly. The classic image of Santa Claus in a red suit with a white beard was tweaked further in the 1930s due to a marketing campaign by Coca-Cola. The company’s advertisements depicted Santa as plump, rosy-cheeked, and garbed in a red and white outfit and hat. Although Santa had been portrayed in robes of other colors prior to this marketing campaign, CocaCola’s version of Santa Claus was embraced by the popular imagination and remains the image we associate with him to this day. As the holidays roll around, and images of Santa Claus abound, know that, like so many things in life, Santa has evolved from his ancient origins as Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas, to the iconic figure of Christmas cheer crafted by an imaginative poet and creative corporate advertising. One thing is for certain, whether you’re a child or an adult, the holidays would not be the same without Santa, his reindeer and the spirit of the season that he represents to so many around the world!
“The Muppet Christmas Carol” (1992) Like all Jim Henson movies, “The Muppet Christmas Carol” is an instant classic. Full of many upbeat musical numbers, funny animal characters, solid jokes, heart and humanity, this is a family-friendly take on Charles Dickens’ 1843 novel “A Christmas Carol.” In the classic story, Ebenzer Scrooge, played here by a curmudgeonly Michael Caine, has grown into an old, lonely miser near Christmas. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future visit him on Christmas Eve and show him the folly of his ways — choosing money over love, family and friends — and the dire, lonely future that awaits him unless he decides to change. This movie is equally funny and heartwarming as it is a sobering wake-up call to the things that matter most. Also starring Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Steven Mackintosh, Robin Weaver and more. Rated G — 5 & up due to some scary visuals.
“Home Alone” (1990) By far my favorite Christmas movie, Chris Columbus’ “Home Alone” is a hilarious and heartfelt movie about family and redemption. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), troublemaker and the youngest child in a large family, always feels forgotten and resented, and that’s even more apparent when he’s left home alone while his whole family flies to Paris for Christmas. Instead of panicking, Kevin relishes his time alone and becomes more independent — watching inappropriate movies, eating junk food, shooting a BB gun inside, but also grocery shopping and doing laundry. Eventually he runs into local cat burglars Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), who plan to rob his house. And that’s when the fun and chaos escalate into what I consider the greatest prank scenes ever filmed. Scored by John Williams and also starring Catherine O’Hara, John Heard, Kieran Caulkin, John Candy and more. Rated PG for violence and coarse language.
“The Grinch” (2018) Yet another Grinch movie begs the question — how many do we need? Apparently a few more, as this iteration inhabits its own little modern world and adds to the everexpanding Grinch mythology. Narrated by Pharell Williams and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch, the story is simple — the Grinch hates Christmas and the Whos want to make it bigger and brighter than ever, much to his annoyance. A nod and protege to Ron Howard’s “A Grinch Stole Christmas” with a scene-stealing Jim Carrey, this movie is fast-paced, quick-witted and incredibly scored. The music, however, is a very modern take, done by Pharrell Williams and including a combo of classic Christmas, pop, hip hop and acapella. Because this is fully computeranimated, the movie has no limits and is a true visual spectacle. Also starring Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Mindy Sterling, Angela Lansbury and more. Rated PG for brief rude humor.
Stream these movies where available, or rent from your local movie store, library or rental kiosk.
