Each issue of Cake Zine tells stories inspired by a different adjective-inflected foodstuff. Previous issues have taken their lead from ‘Sexy Cake’, ‘Humble Pie’, and ‘Daily Bread’, and this seventh issue turns its attention to ‘Forbidden Fruit’.

 
In this issue:

• Orange Crush becomes a dysfunctionally luxurious reminder of growing up with an alcoholic father
• The synthetically fruity, jittery, sickly high of drinking jaba on a night out in Nairobi
• An annual trip to Orange World in Orlando provides respite from the oppressive heat and homophobia of home
• The inequality and exploitation that sees Barcelona’s fruiterías staffed by young men earning a couple of euros per hour
• And the perfectly sweet, sour, but suddenly precarious pleasure of mango Juul pods
