A strange little side quest
Between one round of Kawaii Cake and the next, this is worth knowing: Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home. The timeline takes another interesting turn: By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Kawaii Cake feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
