CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods?  It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear.  My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas.  Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas.  Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next CallThis is a beautiful venue, by the way…
