Cake, the Favorite Dessert

When the smell of cake fills the kitchen and wafts through the rest of the country home, the whole family knows that something special is in the works. A moist cake with creamy frosting is something for all to look forward to.

Homemade cake is a treat anywhere, but it has special meaning on the farm. Many of the ingredients for cake can be found right there on the farm including the eggs, milk, and even butter.

 

Making Country-Style Cakes

Baking cakes from scratch is a country art passed down from generation to generation. In many farm households it’s a Saturday afternoon tradition. Baking a homemade cake from start to finish takes time, and in country life it’s a time to slow things down and focus on the small things.

To make any homemade cake in true country style, whether it's an elaborate wedding cake or a small one for enjoying with your coffee, start with the freshest of ingredients. Depending on the recipe for cake you follow, whether it's one that's been passed down from generation to generation or one you've just found, you will need things like large eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking soda.

Cakes for Every Occasion

Cakes are made special for many occasions or perhaps just for fun. Cake makes a tasty dessert any day of the week, and is a nice compliment to practically any meal.

Perhaps a baked cake may be for a sick neighbor who needs cheering up. Or it could be donated to a church fundraiser to raise money for a local cause. Sometimes country cake is baked to be taken to the fair and entered in the cake contest in hopes of winning a prize.

Cake is a traditional dessert for many celebrations. What’s a wedding without cake? And of course you’ve got to have cake for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other parties. You'll always find photos of cake, either of its original, untouched form or by the slice, in picture albums and scrapbooks documenting one joyous event or another.

Pumpkin spice cake is a delicious addition to the Thanksgiving turkey at the traditional holiday dinner.

The traditional birthday cake is never to be left out. Cupcakes are exciting when made especially for that special someone on their birthday. Kids especially look forward to their own birthday cake and birthday party celebration. Don't forget to take plenty of cake pictures while partying.

When you need to make a cake for a holiday such as Easter or Christmas, letting the kids help out in the kitchen when preparing and baking is a great way to not only make them feel important but spend quality time together.

 

Exciting Cake Themes

Themed cakes are always a hit regardless of the occasion and cake decorating has evolved into an art form all of its own. Some cake picture ideas are sure to please your guests.

The ideal subjects for country cake pictures include those of a farm or western theme with images of farm life like a tractor or barn.  If the person intended likes western themes, try making a cake in the shape of a saddle or cowboy boot.

Children's characters are always popular in cake pictures. The old Macdonald Farmer would make a fun design for a kid’s cake. Molds for cakes come in about every shape imaginable, so get creative with farm animals, such as a pig, horse, or cow cake! On that note, think about their favorite pet perhaps a rabbit, baby chicken, foal, or calf theme would be thrilling to your child.

Use the Best Cake Recipes

Country cake recipes are often kept secret. While some country folks are willing to share their tricks with everyone who asks, some farm women keep their own special ingredients private. Maybe they’ll only reveal their recipe to a select few, perhaps a favorite granddaughter.

Country Living Magazine frequently includes cake recipes that have been shared with their readers. And of course, don't forget that Taste of Home is always a great source of delicious recipes. And of course, now there are many websites with tons of recipes for the asking.

Shoot Fantastic Cake Photos

Be sure to take cake pictures during all stages of creation, starting with the kids helping to gather the ingredients and measuring what's needed, the mixing and blending. Finally, after baking and cooling, photograph the addition of the frosting or icing to create a one of a kind masterpiece that makes everyone proud. Keep the cake photos in an album for display and later remembrance.

For your photos of cake that you've baked, you may want the pastry itself to be the focal point, but don't be afraid to include a few props, either directly to the cake or close to it to add interest to the pictures. Fresh flowers are always the perfect addition whether they're showy fall varieties like sunflowers or chrysanthemums or spring and summer blooms like roses or daisies.
