Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

Cutting the Cake

That cake was so good (yellow cake with lemon filling). I’ve decided that all my birthday cakes for the rest of my life have to come from Central Continental Bakery in Mt. Prospect, Illinois USA. I had to make that long drive just hours after a record-breaking rainfall left power outages, blinking red lights at major intersections and flooded streets with cops guarding them, but I made it and it was worth it. I’d never driven in that area and had to use a map to re-route twice, but nothing motivates me like cake.

Central Continental Bakery is the one, I’m telling you.
