Baking cake is the literal definition of 'Labor of Love'. All the ingredients must be grown, harvested, milled, process, clabbered or laid before you amass them. Then you consider the knowledge to read, comprehend, and execute someone's hard created (or your own) efforts to take these already exalted ingredients and make something delicious. Not essential nutrients and vitamins to be healthy snd live, but to treat. To spoil. To seduce. Cake is it Y'all... Phew! It really gets to the heart of me. 💖 It's the holy communion of affection. Think about Birthday cake. Wedding cake. Cakes to celebrate milestones. Cakes to cheer a wounded heart. Cakes to delight a child. Cakes make the intended feel seen, feel special, feel honored. See..... AFFECTION. This is a great historical love letter to American Cake classics, their origins, and there true Merit. Get it. 💖😋💖 HoneyChild P. S. It has excellent words from one of my favorite Food Historians, Dr. Leni Sorensen. #heritagecooking #americanbaking #cake #cakeladies #ediblejoy #baking #momaisbuttercakewithwalnuts #1234cake #coconutcakeisivy #jellycakeiswilma #btscakeismommieelse #citruspoppyseedisedie #ginaischeesecake #aliceistresleches #nickowissisturtle #cupcakestoo #germanchocolateisvicki https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cDo45HTnJ/?igshid=bg1r86gsxe47
