every time i bake a cake for someone (which became my weekly reality) i save the scraps to make a smol test bite. test bites are great! not only for cakes! there is something endearing about taking the time to make a small version of any dish, with all the important components, just to try it yourself before serving to other people. like a quality control

so doable during the week or when otherwise busy. tastes pretty good most of the time. can be customized with frosting and fresh fruit. a reminder that things don’t have to be hard or perfect to be worthwhile.

I love baking cakes for people. Store bought cakes are so boring. What do they show? That you have fifty bucks and a half hour to kill? Who even needs a cake at all at that point. Cakeake isn’t about being a cake, it’s about thoughtfulness, decorum, and perseverance. I will exhaust myself and push myself to limits I didn’t know existed in order to make elaborate cakes for my friends’ birthdays. The funny thing is, I always run excessively late at finishing them, barely getting the frosting on… And by the time the cake reaches its destination, it inevitably falls apart. But they always taste good. People think they can’t bake, even people who like to cook think they can’t bake… And I guess I kind of just explained how baking is hard and I’m not great at it, but that’s exactly why you should do it! It’s good to not be good at things and who knows, you could be really great at it. And if you aren’t it’s still fun and makes people happy.

Bake for your family! Bake for your friends! Bake for birthdays and holidays and to mark successes! A real labour of love, and such a gift to feed people!
