It's mostly gluten content, or lack thereof, that makes cake flour. Less gluten makes for more tender (non-yeast) baked goods.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So, it's not just how fine it's ground. Interesting.
Nope. It's all about the gluten content. Cake flour is lower in gluten than bread or all purpose flour.

Ginger, curse your sudden but inevitable crossposting.

All is well that ends in pizza.
You're just glutens for punishment.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My, it's quiet here.
This evening we've been invited to my boss's house for dinner. This should be interesting...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Odd Discovery of the day: I have no paperclips in the house. Sadly, I need them enough for work that I may have to make a special trip out of the house for them, which will require getting dressed.

Huh. What affects the gluten content? Is it that there's something other than flour in flour? Like the cornstarch Cindy mentioned?

Have any colored paper stationery (or magazines, for that matter) that you could use as dividers until you have to take them elsewhere?

Ooh, the magazine thing is a good idea, Matt. I looked unsucessfully for colored paper, but didn't think of the magazines.
Yay, I can stay in my Jammies!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Have you no bobby pins, Lee?
Right. Like ANYbody has bobby pins anymore. What do people use for lockpicks these days?
