Very lemony lemon cake
I’ve made lots of lemon cakes over the years – simple ones baked in a loaf tin, round ones filled with lemon curd and covered in buttercream icing. I wanted to make one that was intensely lemony, a bit more grown-up than most. This is it. You don’t have to ice this cake – the icing does make it sweeter. If you prefer a more mouth-puckering lemon experience, dust the top with icing sugar before serving it and leave it at that. Source link

Welsh cakes recipe
I’d never tasted a Welsh cake until I went to St Dogmaels local producers’ market for the BBC, some years back. I had them hot off the griddle with butter. They’re fragile and melting and much better than any scone. They’re also easy, quick to make and inexpensive, so just right for rainy-day weekend baking (when you bake a cake for someone else but want a treat for everyone in your house too), or even a midweek pick-me-up.

Celeste Perkins makes maximalist cakes for artists around L.A.
This story is part of Image’s October Abundance issue, reveling in indulgence, maximalism and the deliciously impractical. On a Wednesday evening in August, Celeste Perkins walked into El Atacor #1 in Cypress Park holding a towering three-tiered cake, frosted in American buttercream and airbrushed in oversaturated hues of red, green and blue. Thick, excessive piping created an otherworldly texture on the cake’s surfaces. Metallic candy pearls gleamed under the fluorescent lights. The dessert’s colors and exuberance took inspiration from the playful, acid-dream paintings of Angeleno artist Isaac Psalm Escoto, also known as Sickid, for whom the cake was made.

That evening, a member of the latter group caught his eye on Perkins’ cake and started to get excited. “Cut the cake!” the stranger called across the room to …
