Something about the word CAKE in big white stencil painted letters really does it for me, and feels very iconic. Even better to find it painted on the front door of a "cake safe" with its three original shelves inside--for storing three cakes, or three pies, or stacks of risque magazines! A rare one, with a front latch that closes and coule be locked to keep hands off those cakes or magazines, and a handle on top for taking it anywhere. And flip it on its side and take the drawers out and it's a lock box.
