My parents’ home nearly became the scene of a small riot last week, and it was all due to my brother and a cake.

The life of a budding food columnist is rough, mainly from a planning perspective. Case in point: I wanted to make a Pinterest-worthy chocolate cake to celebrate Mardi Gras, but owing to Tuesday-morning podcast-recording schedules, the cake part of the dessert needed to be completed on Monday. To complicate matters more, I would be at my parents’ house that day to see my brother (Sibling No. 3) who was in town for a quick visit.
