I love that orange cake. There’s nothing like the tang of that citrus.

Miz Jan, Mam, stopped by the house Saturday to drop off a piece of her Orange Cake for Wife Lila and me.

I think she was fishing for compliments after being schooled, not by trash-talking Leslie, but – the ultimate insult – by a banker.

Let the record reflect that the Orange Cake did, indeed, taste orangey.

She was at a disadvantage in the contest going in. She might have been a food editor, but anybody whose job it is to cook books like a banker will find baking cakes child’s play.

(Of course, if you get CAUGHT cooking the books you’ll either (a) get a huge bonus or (b) hope that someone like Jan will let bygones be bygones and bake you a cake with a hacksaw blade in it.)

I’ve always hated it when cookbooks and TV shows seemed more interested in how food LOOKS than how it TASTES.

But the two photos in your post prove the stylists’ point. Your cake looks like something anyone would be eager to dive into, no matter what it tastes like. On the other hand, that cobbler looks like something the cat dragged in, even though it may be the best tasting cobbler on the planet. Ugh.

Jan, that cake looks awesome! I look forward to hearing how it fared against the other options.
