Bird Bakery’s Sweet Nest in Alamo Heights By JOHN G. BLOODSWORTH
Photography Jon Alonzo
6 | may 2013
As a small child, Elizabeth Chambers spent hours in her grandmother’s Alamo Heights kitchen watching her mixmaster blend aromatic spices, sugar, butter, flour and other key ingredients that were the successful secrets to the cakes, tortes and delicious desserts served to rave reviews at private parties throughout the city. When the model, actor and journalist expanded her repertoire of talents to include baker, Alamo Heights was where she chose to feather her nest. Elizabeth’s maternal grandmother Maureen Carnathan, ran a well-respected catering business in San Antonio for almost 20 years. Many of Bird Bakery’s made-from-scratch cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pecan squares and lemon bars originated in her grandmother’s kitchen, but Elizabeth — a seasoned baker herself — spent six months adapting recipes and tweaking ingredients to make all of the delicious morsels her own. “My grandmother was such a strong woman and her recipes were part of her character,” said Chambers. Elizabeth’s grandmother’s culinary talents never would have been the motivation to open Bird Bakery if it had not been for her mother, Judy. “I have gotten all of my grandmother’s recipes from my mother and I learned all of my cooking from her,” Chambers stated. “If I need tried and true recipes, I will go to my mother.” But cupcakes were not always her calling. While a high school student in Colorado — where she moved with her mother after her parents divorce — Elizabeth began to model, spending four months in Tokyo, appearing in commercials for clothing lines and food products. As a student at the University of Texas, Elizabeth was cast in The New Guy, The Rookie and the television series, Going to Cal-
ifornia. Writer/director Thomas Hayden Church cast her in his independent film, Rolling Kansas. Graduating from the University of Texas, Magna Cum Laude with a degree in journalism, she continues to report for E! News Now and Access Hollywood. While in Los Angeles, Elizabeth met her husband, actor Armie Hammer. The two married in 2010. “We really are a husband and wife team,” says Hammer. But he gives credit to Elizabeth for her amazing creativity and countless hours of planning and execution. “She does not rest until she has achieved perfection in a new cupcake flavor or roll-out of a new breakfast item.” When not in the bakery, the talented couple, who have homes in both Los Angeles and Alamo Heights, can be spotted around the neighborhood at some of their favorite eateries including Paloma Blanca and Cappycino’s. You may spot Armie on his Vespa pulling
into a local Whataburger for his Texas fix of a tasty burger with jalapeños. This summer, jalapeños will not be the only thing heating up the local scene. Many are buzzing about Armie’s title roll in his latest feature film, The Lone Ranger, the new Disney film also starring Johnny Depp as Tonto. Locals attending Fiesta’s spectacular Battle of Flowers Parade got a good glimpse of Armie as Parade Grand Marshal and Elizabeth riding in the 123rd edition of the event where Fiesta began. Those behind the scenes were exuberant over the couple’s role in recent Feista activities. Not only did they lend their celebrity status to the occasion, Bird Bakery donated boxed lunches to a group of Wounded Warriors and their families attending a special pre-parade picnic and parade watching celebration held in Maverick Park. “When I heard that Armie Hammer had accepted our invitation to be the Grand Marshal of the 2013 Battle of Flowers Parade, I was elated,” said pa-
rade chairman Donna Vaughan. “He and Elizabeth are the most charming, engaging and caring couple, and were a pleasure to work with on this year’s parade.” It seems that Alamo Heights is a little nest that these two talented bird’s have settled into. And that is truly a feather in our cap.

Casa de colores Color, texture, form and function enhance artistic residence
By ROBYN BARNES Photography AL RENDON
The world is not black and white for artist Veronica Prida and her husband, Omar Rodriguez, also an artist. Vibrant with the colors of Mexican folk art, nature and personal exuberance, their Alamo Heights home displays the couple’s love of art, textiles and living. It’s like a constant casa fiesta. Once you cross their threshold, you’ll never look at four walls the same way again. It’s easy to see how these celebrated artists arrived at creating a home from a vivid palette. Veronica’s Prida Design Studio is home to her one-of-a-kind furniture designs reflecting her interest in the huipil, the indigenous dress of southern Mexico and Central America. Her clothing designs are worn by women all over the world. For six months of the year, she works at designing and embellishing the magnificent robes, gowns and crowns for Fiesta royalty, heading a team of seamstresses who produce the couture that helps make Fiesta famous. Omar is a health care executive who never had formal art training. As a child, he never used any medium beyond a crayon or a marker, and then he picked up a paintbrush in the middle of life and became an overnight sensation. Collected internationally, his paintings are exhibited in private, corporate and academic collections. His portraiture was shown in the 2006 Ford and Smithsonian exhibition of Retratos: 2000 Years of Latin American Portraits at the San Antonio Museum of Art. The couple discovered the home by accident 16 years ago. At that point, the house was on one level and had been made into a duplex with a chopped-up floor plan and two entrances. Working with an architect and a contractor, they gutted the home and then transformed the shell into a three-bedroom, two-bath home with an open floor plan suitable for their relaxed lifestyle. Interior walls and wooden floors are painted in the vibrant hues of Mexican folk art, and the eclectic furnishing are international in origin.

La Vie En Rosé
The dog days of San Antonio summers are fast approaching. Many San Antonians find cooling comfort in a cold brewski or an icy margarita, but we can now look forward to the new ‘IT’ summer drink ... dry rosé wine! Dry rosé has been quenching European palates many, many summers, but among US wine consumers it is a very recent, yet rapidly growing trend and even with our traditional beer and tequila culture, San Antonio is no exception. So what is rosé wine? Rosé is a wine that comes in various hues of pink and can be produced by one of three methods: blending of red and white wines; brief red grape skins’ contact with the clear grape juice (most common); saignée — an early stage technique of extracting a certain amount of pink juice from the tank of red wine. The red grape varieties most often used in making a rosé wine include: pinot noir, syrah, grenache, merlot, malbec, cabernet sauvignon, tempranillo, sangiovese and zinfandel. Dry rosés combine the lively freshness and crisp acidity found in white wines, yet maintain the delicious aromas and depth found in reds. Rosés come in all shades of pink and span the gamut of red fruit aromas depending on the grape and country of origin. If sweeter

wines are more your speed, look for pink wines labeled as “blush,” a term used for rosé wines that fall on the sweeter side. Rosés also make a wonderful summer drink because they are a catch-all for food pairing! Rosés can stand up to the acidity of summer salads and even to those grilled meats at summer BBQs. Take a bottle of rosé with you to your favorite Thai or Indian restaurant because rosés love spicy foods. Any foods you would want to drink a beer or margarita with, sub in a pink wine and live la vie en rosé! Must-try dry rosés for this summer? Support local business! Look no further than the Texas Hill Country for some delightful pink summer sippers: Hilmy Cellars - 2012 Rosé of Tempranillo Spicewood Vineyards - 2011 Rosé of Merlot Pedernales Cellars - 2012 Dry Rosé Blend Cecilia Barretto is co-owner of wine shop Vinously Speaking. She has a masters in wine business from the Burgundy School of Business in Dijon, France, and also holds a level 3 advanced certification of the WSET.

78209 THE ARTS By MARK RICHTER
T
he arts in San Antonio always
seem to be a good subject of con-
versation. As well they should, es-
pecially in a city that boasts of such a diversified demographic of ethnic cultures and economic realities. It takes talented leaders and creative
directors that ultimately dictate the pulse of a city’s arts collaborative. They are required to produce with
impossible funding scenarios, scrutinized when things go bad and
artists anywhere. Just five
years past, the local theater scene was in very amateur
status, with only a few theater groups producing li-
censed shows. Let’s hope
that the owners of Blue Star will not forsake the very
treasures that made the lo-
cation into a retail success.
Today, the theater scene
is growing not only in

constant support of business lead-
ity and diversity of produc-
goals. Arts organizations need the ers, city government and volunteers
willing to give of themselves for the betterment of the vision of the city. Our city is in the middle of an
exciting cultural renaissance. In the past 25 years, there has never been
such a unity of arts groups and a
wealth of local artists. One only has to travel into the Blue Star and
