Let them eat cake.
If only we could.
And we can. Eat it ourselves. Often.
Especially during pandemic times.
We’re inside a lot with a sweet tooth.
Some industries are completely disintegrating, going bankrupt and being devastatingly altered forever while a few are thriving.
The cake industry is on the financial sweet side of things.
Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays.
Pandemic times or not, still a lot of those events going around.
At the informative site wthr.com they post, “Sales of ice cream cakes at the Westfield Dairy Queen tripled during the month of May, and that has the store’s cake manager Diana Schwartz both proud and scurrying to find other cake artists to help satisfy the exploding demand.”
Sweet.
A little surprising. We thought so many are short on money? Perhaps indulgences on small guilty pleasures can be justified. We sure can.
Eight to 14 inch cakes on average range from $45-$75.
That’s a lot of ramen.
For many of us growing up, the basic and most popular cakes were chocolate and vanilla cakes. Boy has that changed.
According to thekitchn.com, here are ten of the most popular cakes in America and not a chocolate on vanilla cake on the menu:
The 10 Most Popular Cake Recipes of 2019
- Do-Nothing Cake.
- Chocolate Bumpy Cake. ...
- New England Spider Cake. ...
- Instant Pot Cheesecake. ...
- Pumpkin Dump Cake. ...
- Sweet Potato Pecan Cake. ...
- Classic, Foolproof Angel Food Cake. ...
- Easy Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. ...
Very interesting. Are any of the above on your top ten list?
Please don’t forget vegan cakes.
Vegan cake is cake made without eggs, dairy butter or dairy milk. Each of these standard ingredients is easily replaced by plant-based substitutes, such as banana or flaxseed for eggs, non-trans fat margarine or oils for butters and plant milks for milk.
“My music is like a baby pink frosted cake with sprinkles, but when you cut into it, there's a gooey, dark chocolate center.”… Melanie Martinez
In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of bread, but cakes now, as you can see, they cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate, and that share features with other desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards, and pies.
Particular types of cake may be associated with particular festivals, such as stollen or chocolate log (at Christmas), babka and simnel cake (at Easter), or mooncake. There has been a long tradition of decorating an iced cake at Christmas time; other cakes associated with Christmas include chocolate log and mince pies.
Given how cake has provided the world with so many wonderful memories, bringing us together in good times and bad, we are happy to see that eating cake continues to brighten our spirits.
