A Sweet Seat at the Table: Honoring Black Culinary Legacy

A Sweet Seat at the Table: Honoring Black Culinary Legacy

In the kitchen and in the culture, Black women have always been the architects of flavor, tradition, and love. As we mark Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, I think of my grandmothers and aunties—women who poured their talents into meals, tablescapes, and community, often with little recognition but endless grace.

At Zora’s Sweet Tooth, every pound cake tells their story. From a cinnamon swirl passed down through generations to handwritten notes tucked behind spice jars, our recipes aren't just desserts—they’re receipts. Proof of value. Of labor. Of excellence.

Baking for this business is both a tribute and a testimony. It’s saying: We’ve been doing this. It’s packaging that soft power, seasoning it with resilience, and selling it with pride.

Let’s honor that value together. This week, I invite you to reflect on a Black woman who’s shaped your life with her presence—whether through food, love, or legacy. And if you’re looking to celebrate her with sweetness, our Brown Sugar Bourbon Pound Cake is the one—bold, deep, and unforgettable.

Call-to-Action:
Celebrate a Black woman’s brilliance. Gift her a slice. Tell her she’s more than enough—because she is.
