The Unlovely Cake and Plain Jane Soap

Hmmm, you may think, what do cake and soap have in common? Well, in this case, quite a bit. This zucchini cake with caramel frosting is decidedly aesthetically challenged, especially before it was frosted. It was a bit lumpy and had a ridge that ran all the way around it, probably where the zucchini settled into the batter. But just one bite of this exceptionally moist cake, especially if that bite has a bit of yummy caramel frosting, and you will forget all about how homely it looks. LuraLu's Plain Jane soap is like that too. It is quite plain, with no colorants added and no fragrance, but it gives tons of rich creamy lather, and leaves your skin feeling great with out that tight feeling that some soaps leave you with. Because there is nothing in this soap to irritate sensitive skin, it is beloved by those who have eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments. No, it isn't a miracle soap that will heal you. If it was it would no longer be classified as soap. It would be considered a drug and I don't do drugs. It's what isn't in this soap that makes it so special. There is simply nothing in it to irritate you. Try it you'll like it, I promise. And that's just what I told my husband about this cake. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, and you shouldn't judge homemade cakes, and handmade soaps by their looks either. You may miss out on something wonderful if you do. By the way, one bite and my husband agreed, although he still says he would prefer an apple cake, and he still prefers his soap to be fragranced.
