From the supplier: Eudora Welty uses cakes to describe the character of Southern women culture in her novel 'Delta Wedding.' Cakes are the perishable items that define women's domestic labor. Welty's cakes represent the cultural differences between black and white Southern women. The world of cake-baking marks the boundary between the feminine and the masculine worlds.
