Secondhand Confessions Season 1 Episode 26

Text us your confessions and stories.

In this episode, love and loyalty are measured not in words, but in slice of cake—served with a side of disappointment and dashed expectations. First, a woman celebrates one year of sobriety with her favorite berry chantilly cake, only to have her family steamroll the moment with gymnastics news and wine. Then, a stepmom’s homemade birthday cake becomes a battleground when her husband trashes it for lacking blueberries. And finally, a widower just wants to taste his late wife’s legendary chocolate cherry cake again, but when he enlists a bakery to resurrect it, his kids accuse him of selling her memory. Join us as we explore three stories where cakes aren’t just confections—they’re conduits for grief, validation, and the unspoken hunger for love.
