Cake is one of those things that is constantly in every ones lives....why we have this strange infatuation with a food that resembles a sponge I will never know... Bunt cake, fruit cake ,cheesecake, chocolate cake or red velvet cake the list goes on....not only is it a delicious thing to eat but it also has many sentimental meanings as well as very appealing to the eye. We use cake to celebrate, birthdays, Christmas, Easter or anniversaries you name it .... cake has lots to do with tradition...a wedding wouldn't be a a wedding without the wedding cake. Its layer upon layer of sweet, chocolaty, sugary goodness and we all can't seem to get enough . Cake is not always all sugar, spice and everything nice, people eat cake when mourning the loss of a loved one, set out at funerals to those missing their friend or family.That's not all, handfuls of cake are consumed daily by broken hearted woman everywhere..... come on ladies we all can't say we haven't had a nice cry with a large stock of chocolates and cake at hand. As we all know too much of a good thing is not good for you... well this reminds me of my sisters boyfriend, he was over for dinner one night and my mom and I had baked a very nice chocolate cake, I cut the pieces a little unevenly and decided to give him the biggest one... he never made it past nine he had to go home and puke his guts out....I know what your all thinking " Poor boy must have had food poisoning!" sadly the answer to that would be no, he simply just had too much cake, ( p.s. . I'm actually a good cook and baker ). The fact is people just don't stop when they should and even though the cake tastes wonderful we should all know to stop at some point right? Maybe its because cakes are so beautifully decorated that we don't, or the delicious taste that envelops our mouths every time we take a bite, all i can say is the comfort and happiness that comes along with a nice slice of cake is one you cannot buy...... or can we? It is sold in stores after all...
