EAT
THIS
Win Hearts With
This Crepe Cake
BY KRISTEN AIKEN
HERE’S a secret about
baking that most great
bakers keep hidden,
but I’m about to blow
it for all of us. Here it is: it’s not really about the baking. For those of
us with even the tiniest bit of anxiety, shyness, or fear of rejection,
baking is a profound expression of
our affection. It’s the least creepy
way to extend a heartfelt message
without saying a word, whether
that message is, “Hey, I really like
sitting in this newsroom with you
all day,” or, “Hey, I’m secretly in
love with you and maybe want to
have your babies.” See? It’s a totally non-creepy, non-verbal way
to say something that could potentially be very awkward. Baking is
a safe haven for your heart and a
substitute for your words.
