You know,
All week long I eat very healthy.
Ridiculously healthy.
Boringly healthy.
But have I forgotten my favourite delicious foods?!?
ARE YOU CRAZY?!?
So, on Sunday, I loosen up a little, and I make something that I LURV.
AND I LOVE CAKE!
I FREAKING LOVE CAKE!!!
But not just any old cake. It has to be GOOD CAKE. You go ahead and make your boxed cake mix cake, and still call it cake. Fine....for you.
I'm talking about light, fluffy delicious cake that tastes like butter and sugar and vanilla, with a fluffy, sugary, buttery icing.
THAT is what I want. And I wanted that stupid cake ALL WEEK.
But why make just any old cake?
Why not make...
BLUE CAKE!!!
Actually, that was totally The Man's idea. I held out for a long time, because--blue cake? What? Am I FIVE? No. I am not. I am a grown woman.
Meh. He wore me down.
But WHO CARES ?!? IT'S CAKE! CAAAAAAAKE! WONDERFUL SWIRLY ICING AND SUGAR-CRAMMED HEAVENLY CREATION!!!!
CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!
TAKE A BITE...
DO YOU HEAR THE MUSIC???
YOU ARE EATING CAAAAAAAAAAKE
WHO CARES ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT SWEET, DELICIOUS
CAKE
There's only one little problem...you never eat that way usually...
...and you're FORTY now...
One good-sized slice of cake now equals immediate gut-rot.
Sorry.
Whoo! That was boring.
Hahaha!! I had one of those cravings today so I know exactly what you mean.... :) The pictures are lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss Gee! Those cravings do NOT go away!!
DeleteI'm having a cake day on my blog, too! Ha! Only mine was actually a giant Rice Krispies Treat, and Funfetti cupcakes. You don't hate on Funfetti, do you??
ReplyDeletedamn it Jenn, I keep forgetting to come by and check out YOUR cake day!! Hellz no I don't hate on Funfetti! I don't even know what it is, but how could anyone hate something with FUN in the name?
DeleteYIKES - blue cake!!! I LOOOOOVE the Queen of Cake. Hope her tummy feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteAll hail the Queen!

WE appreciate your comment Sarah. OUR tummy does feel better, as WE have returned to our regular, joyless, austere way of eating.
DeleteSpeaking as a former editor, I'd end the book with the delightful picture of the Queen of Cake. Reality does not make as good a story. :)
ReplyDeleteGrandma
Reality does indeed bite, Jeanne. It does indeed.
DeleteNOOOOOOO! The Queen of Cake must eat cake, and enjoy it, otherwise it's just no fun! Although blue cake has to be the most fun a cake can be, surely? xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh I enjoyed it Curtise! It was DELICIOUS. However, it did not enjoy me, apparently.
DeleteI make coconut cake, convince myself that it's healthy (because it's "natural") and then proceed to eat the entire thing in one evening.
ReplyDeleteOH my god. I love coconut cake. Ever see "The Barefoot Contessa"--AKA Ina Garten? She makes a coconut cake that makes me weep.
