So you may not really be able to “chew your way to health” with Gooey Butter Cake, but you can’t tell me thousands of happy, peppy people wouldn’t clamor for just a sample.

I’m pleased to report that interest in St. Louis style Gooey Butter Cake continued to hold steady at my school’s annual fundraising benefit this spring. While the winning bid may not have hit the all-time high of $1500, the little homemade cake did sell for a respectable $1200, once again. But can you really put a price on it?

My apologies to Lucy…
