<HTML><b>Dumb Cakes</b>

Dumb Cakes are a Christmas Tradition reserved exclusively for single young girls keen to know who their husband would be. On Christmas Eve, maidens would make a cake in complete silence, place it in the oven, and, at the stroke of midnight, open the front door . If they were in luck, they future husband would walk in the door and turn the cake.

<I>Would you really want to marry a stranger that entered young single women&#8217;s houses at midnight on Christmas Eve?</I></HTML>
