Let Cake Month Begin
According to the Venerable Bede, February, or Solmonath, was the "month of cakes" for the Anglo-Saxons, when they offered cake to their gods.
Some people seem to translate it as Mud Month or something to do with sprouting cabbages but we won't worry about that.
So, off we go - a month of cakes, starting now. Why not start by baking this Betty Crocker Colorvision cake from the Fifties, above, which seems to be made of spam.
