Join me for a journey through the end of old world cake to find what the first true American cake would really be.
Find out what is at the root of American cake mixes - and why it is essentially an American idea.  Just older than you think - much older than I thought for sure.

And a nice assortment of cakes you can try out to taste the early 19th century scene.
