Red Velvet

Cakes never made me cry, or get emotionally involved; but today, one cake did.

It's three gorgeous red layers of cake, sandwiched and covered in white icing.

The icing is soft, yet stiff enough to hold its shape. It's sweet, but not sickeningly so and creamy- it just melts in my mouth with an aftertaste i want to remember forever.

The cake itself is a work of art- it's red, like the color of passion. The taste is impossible to describe- the cacophany of flavours: there's vanilla, chocolate and something i cant quite describe.........tastes a little like happiness and contentment. Like comfort and warmth. The texture is of crushed velvet, luxurious and rich.

Together it's Love.

I can't quite understand how a slice of cake can make me feel so happy and yet so sad at the same time. The cake itself was orgasmicly delicious; but it was what it made me feel that made it a miracle. It made me want to Love, to want Love and to not give up on Love. It felt like the universe is saying- Love's here, eat it, find it, cherish it............and yet, i felt so sad because i had all this Love, and no one to share it with.

I've got a cupcake version of the cake in my room now. Love in a paper casing. Love comes in all shapes and sizes, huh?

Oh honey... info like that must be jealously hoarded. That way, only you'll have the perfect wedding cake!
Hmmm... I just rethought that last statement, and since you were in the mood for sharing some sugar (pun, I'm so clever... really), maybe you should share that info. :)
