Cake Joy

Wouldn’t it be interesting to bake

With loads of care and icing a cake

Imagine the very detailed process

How long, I will let you guess

First, take a sheet of paper and pen

Design your desired cake then

Fill it with a rainbow of colours

After all this is yours.

Throw in the eggs and beat till fluffy

Add in the sugared flour, stir till puffy

Pour in the batter, but don’t fill the mould

Place in the oven, bake till its gold.

Mix the colours with the cream

Of the various shades that you can dream

Next, take the base and level your cake

To what you speculate to be the perfect shape

Then, place the base on a cake bowl

On a turn table place this bowl

Slather the rich cream generously

Spread it with a spatula evenly

With piping tips and couplers

Sit decorating it for maybe…hours

Draw a fountain or a glade

Then look back and edit what you made

But don’t eat it when it is done

Share it with those who have none

Whose joys will know no bounds

And this will warm your heart

With the joy of helping, sharing and caring

  13. Sahana – we liked ur poem and tried the recipe but we got stuck on first few steps and could not figure out why? “Throw the eggs and beat till its fluffy”. I did throw the eggs but could not beat it. 🤔
