being sick I miss out on a lot of things I would like to share with you or I’m late in posting. That is what happened when it came to sharing #Holidays this month. I’ve decided to combine Food Holidays celebrated on October 10th into one post.
Join my family in celebrate National Angel Food Cake Day #AngelFoodCakeDay, National Cake Decorating Day #NationalCakeDecoratingDay and World Egg Day #WorldEggDay because each of these Holiday go hand in hand when making desserts.
I wish my parents were here because they would have been excited to find out National Angel Food Cake Day is celebrated every year on October 10 because they both loved Angel Food Cake and the #Holiday is the perfect time to honor the light, fluffy, and fat-free dessert. Angel Food Cake is a Sponge Cake, made primarily from whipped egg whites, sugar, and flour, and Angel Food Cake has been a beloved treat in the U.S. since the late 19th Century.
