Stefin and Andrea get together for a quick chat about the Listener's favorite cakes, appreciate those who see cake as a mere vehicle to deliver frosting, award their Blue Ribbon Award to the November cake winner, and explain why dogs bark and cats meow in their podcast.

Andrea and Stefin discuss the shocking suggestion of purchasing a pie for Thanksgiving, leaf lard and why you need it in a pie (trigger warning: vegetarians), review their delicious cold chocolate snacking cake, and theorize on a baking bits conspiracy.

Listen as our hosts rave about cranberry upside down cake, update their progress on homemade eggnog, share some memorable baking fails, and announce next week's challenge - chocolate snack cake.

Andrea and Stefin sing the praises of Pumpkin Spice Buttermilk Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, delight in the magic and mystery of Baker's Joy, and get revved up for both Cranberry Upside Down Cake and homemade eggnog. They also realize they're worlds apart in recipe-keeping technology, though not in their love of a vintage cookbook or recipe card.
