CAN YOU TASTE IT?




   In my opinion there is no other food that induces joy more than cake. Think of birthdays, weddings, christenings, you name a special occasion, and cake is the high point of the celebration. Buche de noel is a favorite French cake made to look like a log and served only at Christmastime. Cakes these days are often works of art so beautiful it seems a travesty to eat them. There are reality television programs about cake making and pastry chefs become celebrities because of their skill at making fondant flowers and ornamentation. Wayne Thiebaud is well known for his paintings of cakes. 
   I really love cake, any kind except carrot cake. Cake makes me momentarily happy when I'm blue. I think I get happy just looking at cake.
