Well firstly, my plan was a flop last night. I ended up sleeping at 2 am and hadn't quite finished both assignments. For some odd reasons, I work best under pressure during the lecture I have to hand in the assignment. I managed to sort of complete both thankfully.
And so I didn't blog about that chocolate cake I had yesterday and today. My mom's friend brought it over when she came to visit us on her day off. Everything was made of chocolate! It was amazingly delicious... I used to know how to describe food thanks to a humanities class I took in college named: The Wisdom of Cuisine.
Let me attempt to do so...
Well starting from the top, the first part I saw after I had cut off the ribbons of the box and opened the lid. The first thing that had popped into my head was: "soooo muchhhh chocolaatteee". And Then I drooled over it noticing the oval shaped chocolate decor on which was inscribed: "Congratulations" placed neatly in the middle of the round cake. How sweet, I thought. My mom's friend said from afar: " Although, the shop offered other varieties, I bought this one because I know girls like chocolate. Moreover, the chocolate icing outlined top of this magnificent piece of art was covered with chocolate flakes :-) I opened the box from the sides and noticed that it was covered entirely with... chocolate icing of course! It was iced upon vertically using a star icing cone as for the outline on the top. I brought over a knife, almost ran mind you (dangerous!) to cut pieces of the cake for everyone. As the knife slid down to the bottom of the carton support at the bottom, I found out it was indeed a sponge cake. It's lightness was troublesome for the task at hand. I struggled as I juggled the cake between a cake spatula and the knife. It was then that I observed the interior of the cake! It just kept getting better and better as more chocolate was discovered! The layered cake was separated by chocolate icing yet again!
Just between you and me, I took the biggest portion :P The cake was just as wonderful as its appearance (if that was convincing...). Again, it was so thin that I devoured it rapidly without acknowledging it. That is until it had vanished and a feeling of bloatedness took over my short moment of triumph...
I want to see the picture !!! NOW !!! I want to eat chocolate cake !!! Maybe monday :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!
