When I wrote about the cupcakes earlier this week, I mentioned that cake isn't one of my favorite things. I believe my lack of interest in cake stems from a lifetime of cake disappointments.
I am frequently asked by well-meaning family members and friends what my favorite cake is, and I always say yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and they always make me chocolate cake with white frosting. This has been going on all my life, and my mother was the most frequent and persistent perpetrator.
By the time I was in college, I gave up on the cake, and when my birthday was approaching and my mother asked me what kind of cake I wanted, I asked her to make me pumpkin pie instead. That solved it.
