Cake Zine is an independent print magazine that explores society through sweets. They’re open to pitches for their eighth issue, Spoiled Rotten, exploring extravagance, excess, and decay: “Tell us what you think is stale, overripe, and curdled—in the fridge, on the menu, or in our culture. Or extend your gaze from the trash to the compost pile to share how new life can come from rot or how culinary ingenuity can be borne from ingredients past their prime. We're looking for both what's lost and what’s gained when things go bad.” To learn more, refer to their post and call for pitches.
Deadline: March 25th, 2026
