German cake/Bakers chocolate CONSPIRACY! I'm so disillusioned. I bought a German chocolate cake from a bakery once for a friend's birthday -- holy moly, it was so expensive that I said the cake was the present. I'm no fool, wasn't gonna get dinged twice.
Well. I've always just assumed that Baker's chocolate wasn't about bakers because of the apostrophe. Marketing luck I guess. But as for Mrs. George Clay and her German Chocolate cake; that was some truly disappointing news. Makes me wonder about American tourists in Germany trying to find a piece of the "real" thing.
