According to the London Times, baking cakes is "the new rock-n-roll," in the UK. According to a recent survey, more than one-third of Britain's 25-year old and under population (many of which are males) are regular cake makers and "consider it a 'sexy' activity, rather than a drudge." The paper credits celebrity chefs, the recession and good cake mixes that are easy to whip up.

Here in the U.S., cooking shows such as Ace of Cakes and the onslaught of stylish cupcakeries springing up across the country has shown us that cake-making is far from being old-school. Making cakes can be hip, fun and, well, rock 'n roll.
