You should say:
What kind of cake it is,
When you ate the cake,
Who you ate with and explain why you think the cake is special.
Honestly speaking, I have a sweet tooth and I’ve always had a soft spot for cakes and desserts. Of course, I know for sure that consumption of too much sugary food isn’t healthy at all and I’ve put on some weight recently, but I can’t refrain from trying a slice of cake whenever I am in a café or coffee shop.
The truth is I’ve tasted many cakes in my life, but the one that still sticks in my mind until now is a yule log cake made by one of my besties, who has a consuming passion for cake baking. That was the 1st time she tried her hand at this kind of cake and as usual, I was always the 1st one who had a taste of her experiments. Even though she had never made anything like that before, that’s still the best cake I’ve ever savoured in my life.
Everything about the cake was amazing, from the yellow sponge cake to the chocolate buttercream, and that’s not to mention the scrumptious icing or frosting made from fresh fruits like berries.
At first, I thought it would be too rich and creamy for me, but it turned out to be a lot better than I’d expected. What’s more, it wasn’t too sweet and the soft moist texture of the cake was such an added bonus, unlike other yule log cakes I had eaten. It just melted in my mouth when I had the first bite of the cake and needless to say, it was such an indescribable feeling.
My best friend was surprised too when she succeeded at the first attempt. She couldn’t believe that she was able to make it, and she was incredibly happy when she knew that I did relish every taste of it. I have to admit that the cake was just to my liking, and I’m so glad to have a chance to experience that delicious creation first-hand.
