CAKE is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit. Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some rich and elaborate) and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been so perfected and simplified that even the amateur cook may easily become an expert baker.
However all this information has absolutely nothing to do with CAKE in this instance, but useful nonetheless we think.
CAKE is a contemporary, forward thinking and edgy indie label which is an imprint of one of the worlds most successful and enduring independent jazz labels, CANDID.
We are currently spending our weekends selling cakes to pay for the website which is being built so for now we must all struggle though on myspace. So be our friend, leave us a comment, drop us a line, pop in for tea or do all of the above BUT make sure you take a good listen to our music. Its really good.
Ghosttown Promotions & Tin Angel Records Presents...
This Thursday 18th September BLACK CARROT: Exclusive Album Launch Support from DEAD COWBOY CULTURE @ The Tin Angel Record Shop, Spon Street CV1 3AX Doors 8pm ~ late
Black Carrot (Market Harborough) are a vibrant quintet who perform new-wave krautrock jazz madness that oozes rock with a psychotic edge. Fierce and abstract yet serving the concept of the song, their unique sound nods towards Beefheart and Pere Ubu but is shot through with flavours of New York jazz skronk, and the loosest, funkiest Krautrock.
"Black Carrot are truly inspired musicians" - Jean Hervé Peron/Faust Black Carrot release their second studio album "Drink The Black Forest" on Tin Angel Records on 3rd November 2008. To support the release initially they will be playing UK tour support for Baby Dee throughout late November early December in addition to their own headline shows in the Midlands and London.
