            DEPRESSION CAKE

            This is a cake of many names: Depression Cake, Blue Monday Cake, Wartime Cake, WW2 Ration Cake, Wacky Cake or Crazy Cake.  Whatever I call it “The Big Guy” gets into character and struts his Blue Man face paint, his camouflage and army fatigues, practices his sad face or just plain goes full on madcap offbeat wacky! It’s just a roll of the dice. Drama all the time!
