Yeah, it's really big. And, you know, for me personally, in Black culture, cakes go back. I mean, it's a, you know, it's a way to tell stories. There's folklore and there's legend that go around the baking of cakes. And it has a lot of history tied to it. So cakes are really important in Black culture. And I think that does, you know, kind of go into Southern culture as well.

I agree. And I think like a one bowl simple cake, like oil based, you know, all the great olive oil cakes that are out there. I just think those are so easy. And I think really, I mean, it's just to me, if it's especially those kind of cakes, to me, that's as easy as making a box cake. you know, and you know what you're putting in.
