Weekend agenda...

Must come up with the proper equipment though, and since I don't have any 10-15 ounce coffee cans lying around, I'll head over to A Cook's Companion on Atlantic Avenue near Court Street, Brooklyn, to see if they have any Panettone vessels. I've seen them at N.Y. Cake & Baking Distributor, 22nd Street just east of 6th Avenue, Manhattan, but I can't walk to that one. There's also a surprisingly great supply shop in Chelsea Market, and a hole-in-the-wall one on 17th Street, just east of Broadway.

p.s. You can buy bakery boxes at A Cook's Companion for only 50 cents, which is much less than half the price of buying them at the above. Party City, on 14th Street, Manhattan, also sells flimsy cake boxes, which are cheaper than the above stores, but still more than at my new local shop.
