Daily News | For a lawyer by day, baker by night, a 7UP pound cake side hustle is an exercise in healing
Cassandra Burnett has a lot going on. The 42-year-old Norristown native is in her 17th year as a practicing attorney, supervising 12 lawyers as an assistant section chief for New Jersey Attorney General’s office. She’s a Girl Scout mom, an adjunct professor at Camden County College, and the founder of a women’s empowerment conference.It starts at her childhood home.
On those days, the Rhodes kids would form a mini-assembly line, measuring out ingredients and whipping up cake batter in various bowls. Burnett remembers beating flour into the batter with a wooden spoon, how it would get harder to mix with every spoonful. She remembers graduating to hand-powered mixers. “We were cooking with gas with that.”
“That’s one of those moments where I understood the power of emotion when you’re cooking or baking,” she says. “I’ve always been a sure-bet type of girl,” she says. “I don’t play lottery. I don’t gamble. Who does that?”, a tribute to her mother’s beloved pound cake. The idea was born out of a memory of a conversation Burnett had with her mom, a few years before she died. Rhodes had always resisted the idea of selling her cake; she told those who wanted to pay, to buy the ingredients instead.
