mom and dad would herd me and my brother into the living room to hug her and say hi to grampa, where she would open a glass chicken on the mantle that had orange circus peanuts in it that were so hard you could barely bite into them. Then we were told to go outside and play. I never saw any more of the house than the front room. granny allways had a funny smell about her, looking back now I think it had something to do with the still in the back of the chicken coop, the only building us boys were not supposed to play around. but boys will be boys, They actually used a montgomery wards catalogue in the outhouse also. we used to give the peanuts to a blind pony the neighbor had, that grampa allways told us was ours. We did this at least once a month till her passing...... still can't eat one of those dang circus peanuts to this day
It seems to me that with those multi-layer cakes, what you're actually getting is a boatload of icing. That has zero appeal to me, but if it turns your insulin crank, okay.
Dried out turkey and stale cookies lol. My grandma, bless her heart, would prepare the Thanksgiving turkey a couple of days before Thanksgiving to get a head start, then on Thanksgiving she would warm it up in the oven. It was less than palatable. She would also make a huge supply cookies and freeze them for when the grandkids would visit. 2 or 3 years in the freezer did not make them better.

Beans and cornbread.
Every time we visited, she'd make both so we had something to eat after traveling.
Makes me smile every time I think about it.

Cake without icing is just bread,,,
The icing is thin and somewhat runny when applied to the cake. It does not build up very thick. I have seen some folks go as high as 13 layers.
