Also, this is entirely in keeping with McKay's 2009 album "Normal as Blueberry Pie - A Tribute to Doris Day." Doris Day recorded "Tea for Two" a number of times and also sang it in the movie "Tea for Two." For a clip of Day singing the song in the movie, youtube.com/watch?v=Om3ZHyBz5u4
The "bake a sugar cake" is a phrase from the old song "Tea for Two" of the 20s (from the musical "No, No, Nanette) which is all about getting married and having a family. McKay is obviously playing with the genre. It's irony. Irony is her trademark.
She's so beloved, everybody talks about wanting to marry Nellie. She's a very special talent. Extraordinary belle of the dreamers ball, here's to hoping she meets her soul-mate and gets her dream life for eternity. She's real, and she deserves it.
Positively LOVE her!!!!

@djvbb12 Good grief, what difference does it make? Unless it was a burka, then it might be worth investigating!

Oh man. Eargasms all over the place! The piano riff in the intro of this song is utterly, haunting and beautiful.

I think you guys have kind of missed the point.

@December165 I agree. She's too sarcastic and witty to be wanting to really "bake a sugar cake"
