Yummy Cake

Today is Nina's birthday and we just ate her Lemon Raspberry Cake and boy was it delicious. While the basic design was the same as the last Lemon Raspberry Cake we got, the presentation lost a few points because the proportions of the decorations were a little off and there was a clump of slivered almonds tossed randomly in the center of the cake. We sexistly concluded that a man had decorated this particular cake. Nonetheless, you know the cake is delicious when my boss Greg asks to take home a slice for his wife Helen. I was helping Nina and Greg transfer the leftover slices of cake off of paper plates into plastic boxes when I turned to throw out the used paper plate that once held Helen's slice. Greg subtly admonished me by asking, "Are you throwing that away? Don't I get the frosting?" The amount of frosting left on the plate was truly inconsequential, but then again the frosting was sublime.

Moral of this story: Do not throwaway Greg's frosting, it's an offensive act of blasphemy.
