Cake

<p><strong>Every milestone we hit is punctuated by cake. </strong>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 <strong>when I turned 30 amidst a global pandemic</strong> there was no cake in sight.</p><p>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.</p><p>You won't find recipes in this book but instead <strong>slices of my life.</strong> 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.</p>
