Admittedly, how often are you making Bundt cakes?

It's time to sit down, be honest, and ask yourself: How often am I making Bundt cakes in my everyday life?

Probably not enough, which explains some of the general disappointment people feel around you. Now you can improve everyone's mood by borrowing baking pans of all sorts from the library of all places. Specifically, the Carnegie-Stout Public Library in Dubuque, Iowa.

Sure, Dubuque is a bit of a haul for most Americans to visit to borrow a pan, but it's worth it in the end once you realize Bundt cakes en masse are about to come out of your kitchen.

Carnegie-Stout Library Director Susan Henricks tells local TV station KCRG it's all about reaching out to locals. "We're trying to meet people where they're at. Getting them to come in and see what we are like," Hendricks said.

What they're like is deliciousness. Library Bundt cake deliciousness.



If you're wondering why I keep capitalizing the word "Bundt," it's because the word was trademarked by Nordic Ware in the 1950s. "Bundt" is just an Americanization of "bund," which etymologists aren't even sure is authentically German with regard to food, since "bund" largely refers to a federation or alliance. An alliance of deliciousness on our taste buds, perhaps.
