My Last Piece Of Cake
Piece after of piece I have savored each bite with no regret. I’ve tasted all kinds of cake throughout my life, each being unique in its own way. Though some too sweet at times and others just right, I share a common bond with most people when it comes to delicious cake and that bond is simple, you love to hate each piece you get. Cause for every bite you take of that tasty cake, that cake takes a bite out of you. No matter the flavor, cake will having you feeling sick to your stomach if you have too much. I’ve finally realized that you have to indulge in portions instead of eating too much at once.
Back in college, I had too much cake and it showed. I was lethargic when it came to going to class, I never wanted to get out of bed and I simply wasn’t myself on the basketball court. I found myself being indoors constantly wanting cake all the time. Back then though, the only cakes I enjoyed were ones with chocolate and vanilla icing. There was a limited selection of flavors at the University of Southern Indiana, but once I was able to move out west, I found so many varieties of cake flavors at my disposal.
Out west, I was surprised to see how many different selections of cakes there were. For awhile I got hooked on Pound Cake. It surprised me how good this type of cake was, being that she was so thick in taste. I guess with all the butter that Pound Cake had, I was a sucker for her and I easily got wrapped around her little cake fingers the first time I had a piece. After a few months, I eventually got tired of Pound Cake and her thickness, so I switched to Red Velvet cake which was a big mistake.
Red Velvet was evil in a good way with her beet and cocoa ingredients. I mean from the instant I took a bite of Red Velvet, I was sprung literally and saw myself hooked for life. Red Velvet was classy in every way, she had a beautiful look, wonderful inside and a dynamic personality. Every person I spoke to had something good to say about Red Velvet and her reputation remained flawless. The major problem with Red Velvet, was that she was always all over the place and I had a hard time concentrating and she wouldn’t let me be myself, so like the other cakes, I eventually got tired of Red Velvet and had to let her go. Red Velvet was stressing me and causing me to gain weight, plus my metabolism became horrible, so I stopped and tried to find a healthier choice of cake.
I found a lighter choice in Lemon cake. I loved Lemon Cake the first time I had her and always wanted some. I would have Lemon Cake in morning, afternoons and even after a hard day at work. Lemon cake was so good to that I even had some of her after my workouts at the gym. I was happy with my choice in lemon cake because I was able to take breaks. I didn’t lust for Lemon Cake all the time and she would even let me go weeks without having her. Unlike Pound and Red Velvet, I was able to withhold my cravings for Lemon cake, because her taste and ingredients weren’t so strong to me. I had always had a thing for strong, rich cakes with lots of ingredients, but Lemon Cake didn’t possess any of those qualities and still I lusted for her all the time.
After a surprisingly two year obsession with Lemon Cake, I decided that it was best for me to try other cakes to see what was out there while I was still young. I ended up trying a few other kinds of cakes that had origins from other countries such as, Butter Cake from the UK, Coffee Cake from Germany, Lamington Cake from Australia, Tres Leches Cake from Costa Rica and Tiramisu from Italy. All were unique in there own way, but something justwasn’t quite right about these cakes and I eventually wanted something different.
As I got older , I got more stubborn in my own ways, I began to lust for my final piece of cake which I thought I would never fine. I had tried every type of cake you could want and still my stomach hungered for something original. That perfect slice of heavenly cake. I could picture it clearly in my mind how good it would taste and how no one had ever thought of its key ingredients. I saw in my mind a mixture of the best cake ingredients that would make up my final piece of cake. Knowing that I love apricot’s and cream, I looked at Sachertorte that had origins from Austria as a good choice, but I wasn’t so sure because I hadn’t tried her yet. I loved the thickness of Pound, the sweetness of Red Velvet and the look of Caramel and definitely wanted my final ingredients to possess some of them in it. I always thought cheesecake ingredients would make such a delicious cake, but cheese didnt matter that much anymore, so she didn’t make the cut. Lemon Cake’s ingredients were the best that I ever had, so of course I included her in my final batch.
So with the ingredients set and my cake recipe finished, I am looking for the best cake maker to give my recipe to. Someone who has the right touch and the best heart to make this perfect cake. Someone who has the experience and knowledge about bakery to make the finest cake ever created in my eyes and I have a name for her and it’s beautiful…..
Wedding Cake
GOD BLESS
