i visited a friend and she suggested we get a slice of cake from her favorite bakery, and it felt incredibly cool in an aspirational ina or martha way.
i think this should be somewhat mom and pop, and wow wouldn’t it be great if it were your little secret you’re sharing. i guess i’m saying no milk bar. would actually be more impressed with a really good grocery store cake, such as the attached safeway red velvet that is only good in slice form and not the whole cake because it’s made differently despite what multiple bakers have said.
i haven’t actually landed on my favorite local cake, but it’s absolutely a goal and would be such a good look.
all that said… if you have a favorite cake please share
