Sugar lumps when it meets moisture.

"It takes me about a year to use a pound of sugar, since I don't like it, so keeping it good for when I NEED it is critical."


My Family would just die if that was our sugar for the year.

Hey Karen,
great to know that sugar counts as a "wet" ingredient. Never quite understood this.. this means its use will not change the chemistry of the baking (aka solidity of the outcome)?

I don't bake much, but I am quite curious about what holds our cakes up... I guess its the eggs and flour? any good books on the subject?

Well, Michelle, I am in a warm climate too (spring, summer, and February) and I don't get weevils.

Yep, Patty, you are right, but I don't buy packaged foods because of my anaphylaxis.

What holds a cake up is primarily air.

Here's chemistry 101 for pound cakes. His
articles on fried chicken, barbecue and
venison are incredibly funny.

In Hawaii I kept my flour in the freezer
to avoid pests.

Whoops I was sleeping and forgot to give the
link. Adding it gave a link that doesn't
work, so here it is again.
