A Cake Extravaganza

Baking has become a national pastime as we stay close to home and try our hand in the kitchen. Perhaps you’ve pulled out grandmother’s recipe in hopes of creating one of those tall, luscious, lighter-than-air confections all on your own. We’ve teamed up with Swans Down® Cake Flour to assure your cake will be a showstopper, whether you’re serving it for Friday night supper or Sunday brunch.

For cakes with a featherlight texture, you’ll want to use Swans Down® Cake Flour. It’s 27 times finer than all-purpose flour, and experienced Southern bakers have been using the brand since 1894. We have five of our most scrumptious cake recipes—from fluffy coconut to heavenly raspberry—for inspiration. To serve yours in style, pull out that vintage cake stand, pretty dessert plates, and heirloom silverware. Surround it all with lovely linens and gorgeous blooms, and let the compliments flow.
