Nothing says Ā«Ā cakeĀ Ā» quite like birthdays. Since Live Through This,’ Hole’s iconic punk masterpiece is turning 30, we couldn’t pass up the chance to celebrate its anniversary.
Live Through This is turning 30
Hole was one of the most rebellious female bands of the ’90s alt-rock scene. Released 30 years ago, ‘Live Through This’ is a punk-rock classic.
Filled with powerful lyrics, harshly criticizing patriarchy and denouncing its abuses, this record is a feminist juggernaut. It captures raw emotions and angst like no one else.
At the time, it resonated deeply with listeners who felt misunderstood during their teenage years.
It still does.
Serving one of her most visceral vocal performances, Courtney Love cries her heart out in this record. The album’s blend of aggressive guitar riffs and melodic hooks set a new standard in the ’90s alternative rock scene, influencing countless bands and numerous fans, us included.
We just had to bake something to scream how much we love this gem!
Baking a Violet Cake
Who doesnāt want to be the girl with the most cake? To honor ‘Live Through This’, we’ve created the ultimate Violet St HonorĆ© cake!
Imagine this: a crunchy, buttery crust, light-as-air white chocolate cream filled with delicious crystallized violets and juicy blueberries, topped with beautiful choux pastries draped in a purple caramel glaze that shimmers like amethysts.
‘Live Through This’ was written for everyone whoās ever felt misunderstood or mistreated by life. That’s why we dedicate this cake to all the relentless fighters and dreamers out there, hoping it brings a touch of sweetness to their lives.
Courtney Love gave a voice to what so many of us couldnāt even whisper. And for that, we’ll be eternally grateful.
