My ex always said that the making of cakes was not in her mid-European cultural background. My mum was a great baker of all things cake but as she died 18 years ago, if ever we wanted one in my family, I had to make it. That explains a lot.

Just to add my ex now bakes cakes. Jake had nothing to say except that his Lemon Syrup Cake is better than mine. I agree.
