Food Instagram creators launched a zine, and it’s very sexy
), to seductive , to downright smutty . Here, Abarbanel and Bush explain why cake is ideal for this kind of exploration.
As you write in the intro, society has come to equate “a piece of cake” with things that are easy, or even by extension, simple. Why do you think that, historically, we’ve seen cake with this kind of dismissive approach? In terms of those complicating factors, why do you think there is such a strong connection between cake and sex?
TB: I studied history in undergrad, so I think about cake historically. I was reading cookbooks from the mid-20th century and thinking about the ways that women’s sexual roles can be prescribed through food: where making food is not only a domestic duty, but a metaphor for the right kind of sexual behavior. There are all these recipes for a happy husband, or “this is the cake that’s gonna please your man.
TB: A lot of people that want to buy this probably already spend a lot of time thinking about cake in different ways, but I do hope that people will think more about the intentions behind wanting to have cake and marking an occasion in the first place. Maybe if you’re somebody that only bakes cake for the people in your lives’ birthdays — which is something that I do like to do — you also can make cake for yourself.
AA: After working on the zine for the past three months, it’s like my Instagram is only cake. As not a reluctant baker but definitely an infrequent baker, I would think [at first] that I’d be more intimidated to make a cake after seeing so many people do it professionally and have such a unique perspective on it.
