Rec: We The People Cake I’ve always wanted to try this, but the occasion never presented itself

The last time I was invited to a Fourth of July party I was getting over Covid and was so fatigued I couldn’t bring myself to make food.

I will say I’m a bit leery after trying her pumpkin pie and disliking it, but then I decided I grew up on that Libby recipe and that’s really the one I like best. No shame.

Oh my. This could be an all-day 3rd of July process cake. What a lot of work. But beautiful.

I like the Libby's recipe as well.

Do you remember the Libby's jingle? Last time I wanted to make a pumpkin pie I went off the supermarket hoping that Libby's still existed so I could get the recipe.

Maria, the lettering is actually quite easy. You do need a printer to determine your lettering. Here is an example I did back in 2011 for our library volunteers (the theme was (obviously) "our volunteers are royalty" and the color theme was purple and green.




I'm not Gisene so...and this was a one-shot deal for me. But the volunteers were impressed and the UPS guy who showed up while I was putting the cake out just stood there and finally asked me if I had carved out the lettering.

This is beautiful!!! And I see you added icing. That was the other thing about the we the people cake, it had no icing and I’m all about the cake being the delivery system for the icing, lol (unless it’s a coffee cake). Those volunteers must’ve felt very very special with a cake like that! Great job!
