Baking Two: Culinary Chronicles, Capers & Canards

The Last Fancy Cake

       Since I’ve told you about my dad, and his experience with baking. (he is better at cooking) I’ll tell you about cakes and my mom’s more interesting and refusal to make fancy cakes. When I turned four, my mom made me a birthday cake in the shape of a castle. It had the walls made of cake, with blue icing. Sugar cones for the towers with candy’s as windows and decoration. It was a big success, but took forever I later learned a few years back before I was born. For Easter, my mother made this giant Peter Rabbit cake. It had frosting grass and everything. After everyone ate it, she was pleased but only after did she make my castle cake before saying. “I’m never making fancy cakes again” Personally I don’t mind, I like to bake, maybe I might try to make a fancy cake. I mean it’s always been fun to make a cake, but in my opinion making a cake that someone will enjoy is much better. That’s what I like to do, is to give someone a cake. Then watch them smile and eat the piece, I see even though that cake may have been the last fancy cake. I mean, cake isn’t meant to be fancy it’s made to be enjoyed. Maybe someday I will make a few fancy cakes, but right now letting the last fancy cake lie, is what I’ll do. Right now, I’m fine with just cakes that are simple, and make people happy. RS~class 2
