Ode to Cake

Today I went to a local bakery and had a piece of three-berry cream cake that was so delightful that I contemplated the idea of holding a wedding just so that this bakery could make me a cake and that I could serve such transcendently amazing cake to my friends and family. (When I got married when I was 24, my mother chose the bakery. I got to choose the cake flavor, but it had to be from her bakery. We have an adage in my family: whoever does the payin' does the sayin'.)
