In truth, she\u2019s allergic to yeast and eggs, and there is no cake without yeast or eggs in 1843 Victorian England. But the love of Elizabeth\u2019s life\u2014her husband, Alfred, who happens to be a chemist\u2014doesn\u2019t want her to keep missing out on parties and treats, so he turns to science for a solution.
