I Like Cake!

Last week, I got a craving for cake. Just plain ol' cake. You know what I mean. The kind of cake that you bought or sold at a marching band bakesale in high school. From a box. Topped with frosting from a can.

Do you know how hard it is to find cake in San Francisco? I didn't, until I started looking. Sure, you can find croissants and muffins and fruit breads and squares and triangles and bars, but not just cake.

So I did what any red blooded American male would do: I baked! It was from a mix. I could blame it on my convalescence or my own laziness, but really? The need for speed. So I bought the box of cake mix and a can of frosting, and, about 40 minutes later, cake!

Turns out, the expediency paid off. The taste of bakesale cake really took me back. And? At the risk of starting a gay-card recall from those who read my humble little blog? I liked it.

So much so, I made another one. This one was made with white cake mix, but I couldn't be bothered to separate the egg whites.

Time is the enemy who stands between you and your cake, chil'ren.

Time, or prideful vanity? The arbitrary nature of what consumer goods are "classy" and which are not is one of capitalism's many tools to create markets where none had been before. Let's all serve Duncan Hines at our next soiree, and tell the bourgeois insect that feeds on the life of the people to peddle its wares elsewhere!

Listen Ms. Betty Crocker! You continue to bake and that gay-card will have to be pulled.

NAH!!!

When are you coming to my place and baking? Heck, the 'cake' is made -- it just needs some of that sweet 'icing' spead all over it. Ok, shame! get the mind out of the gutter.

Fret you not, your gay card is perfectly safe. The very act of kitchen domesticity sort of things positively reeks of homosexualness.

Besides, what's wrong with cake from a mix? The brownies are even better. Trust me on this.
