Can I be bold enough to say that in my world, cake and art are one in the same? Like art, cake has the ability to draw people together in awe and wonder. It’s a delicious human creation that speaks to signs of the time. In the 21st century, cake has become a symbol for mortal emotion. Whether generations are coming together to sing and celebrate around a birthday cake, or a group of girls are slicing into a “Galentine’s Day” cake to bask in the joys of singlehood. Cake is a constant compliment to any event. And don’t get me started on cake flavors – there’s one for every mood (and time of day).
