How many times have you clicked on a Pinterest recipe link that takes you to a food blog that requires you to scroll through endless pages of photos, obnoxious ads, and paragraphs about the cat and the husband and the kids… before you eventually get to the promised recipe? In my experience, it’s just about every time nowadays. This brings us to my commitments to you, fair reader, as I begin this blog. The following are the tenets of Bundtcake.com:

#1 The Tedium

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a rambling food blog with tedious details about the author’s life and process. I mean, GIVE ME THE RECIPE, for flip’s sake!  I’ll try to include only the tedium that might make you smirk, or give you an idea about where to go for a drink or a donut when you’re in fill-in-the-blank town. Otherwise, we’re here to talk about cake.

#2 The Testing

Now, I would love to bake you a cake everyday and eat it and tell you all about it. I’d even love to remake the cake 6 times until I perfect every last measurement and minute. But off the blog, I’m trying to be mindful of what I eat so that I CAN eat cake and feel good about it. Because of this conflict of dietary interests, I am not going to test every recipe. In many cases, I’ll simply point you to recipes that some other blogger says he/she made and that look scrumpch. Don’t shoot the messenger if it blows.

#3 That’s Enough

We’re talking about cake, not public policy. Two tenets is plenty, don’t you think?
