Every baker should know how to create a moist and decadent cake. The real challenge is making cake light in all sense of the word. There is a shift in culture away from the sugary treats of the past to healthier options. We all still want treats, but we also go to the gym and some of us would rather not have to go for 3 hours to burn off a piece of cake.
September is cake month because it is my birthday month! I am really serious about birthdays and love having the honor of making my own birthday cake. I have found such joy and relief in making my own cake. Why? Well I don’t have to meet anyone else’s standards or expectations. Whenever I say “yes, that is cake.” then I am done and I don’t have to worry if anyone else will like it or if it is good enough. It is perfect when I say so.
For this month we have some challenges. Thankfully, for my birthday, my SWEET husband has given me lots of baking tools to make everything a little easier. We are going to explore, dive deeper, and try new types and flavors of cake. Wish me luck!
