Which
Cultures Make the Best Cakes? My husband says when it comes to
baking, nobody beats out the Greeks and the Jews. We all have our
preferences and there is not one person in the world who can say that
their specific food tastes is “the right food taste”.
Take
me for example. I grew up using Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines cake
mixes. The first time I ever ate a piece of cake made from scratch,
my mouth didn't know what had happened. It was the mostest bestest softest wonderfullest piece of loving joy
ever! Cake is love!
Needless
to say cake baking is not my forte. But I do love a great cake. It
would be right to say that cake loving IS my forte. 💗
Honestly!
If Queen Marie Antoinette had really said “Let them eat cake!”
and I had been in earshot distance, I would have been “Where?!!
Where??!! Where's the cake??!!”
Recently,
I've been coming across recipes shared by my online friends from different countries and also from food newsletters that I subscribe
to and it's got me dreaming and wishing I could enjoy all of these wonderful
baked delights without having to concern myself with the possible ill
effects of consuming too much sugar. Alas! There is diabetes in my
family line and I just don't want to take any chances.
Most
of the time, I enjoy cakes by just looking at them or maybe taste a teeny weeny sample. ☺
But
some cakes are far too pretty and unusual to eat. Don't you think? Like these incredible jelly cakes.
These gorgeous jelly cakes came from 'La Floraison' in Sydney Australia. Like a Japanese rainbow cake these confections are almost too pretty to eat.
Some
cakes are not even cakes. They're masterpieces. Works of art!
And then some cakes are dummy cakes. Dummy cakes? Yeah. New term I learned
when I found a wedding cake by LeNovelle Cake that somebody shared
via the Google Plus social network. Below is a photo of the most
extraordinary dummy wedding cake I've ever seen.
What about you? Do you 💗 cake?
