Cake: A Memoir, Not a Cookbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218239275)

Every milestone we hit is punctuated by cake. Baby Showers: Cake. Birthdays: Cake. Graduations: Cake. Weddings: Cake. Retirements: Cake. You get the picture. The major moments in our lives revolve around cake. When I turned 30 But when I turned 30 amidst a global pandemic, there was no cake in sight.

As I reflected on this cakeless occasion, it dawned on me-I've consumed countless slices of cake in my thirty years. POUNDS of icing. I can't even quantify just how much cake I've enjoyed throughout my life... but, did I try? You bet I did.

You won't find recipes in this book, but instead, slices of my life. Lessons in love, grief, friendship, and celebration. All of which surround cake: that spongy-sweet dessert that brings us together. One such lesson is found in the completion of the book itself; If anyone ever tries to withhold celebration from you, you can always ... let them eat Cake.
