Poetry Day: I Love You, Cake

Posted on March 7, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(I think this poem speaks for itself.)

You are the true centerpiece
To every wedding

 

You are the great reward
For living another year

 

You come in many sizes
And all are delicious

 

You come in many forms
Including rolls and sheets and towers

 

Your flavors are limitless
Even carrot is your type

 

You are not afraid of fire
Candles are your jewelry

 

You are our greatest friend
From the sinful dessert cart

    I do love a good slice of cake.

    At my niece’s wedding, they had a tiny cake that was definitely not large enough for the guests. Well, the guests were given freshly made doughnuts instead. At another wedding, we were given cookies and other small desserts.

    A great poem in honor of cake. Good job. Now I want a piece. No, make that now I want a big piece.

    Need not say I love cake, especially ones with lots of cream!

    But, what I wanted to ask is what kind of a cake are you hoping to eat for your birthday this year? Me, I have less than two weeks to make a forest fruit cheesecake, which is what I want this year. Previous years, traditionally what was had was chocolate biscuit cake, but I really want a change this year, into a cake that yes, it is a cake, but it also features fruit!
