Why Cake?

Cake. Yes cake. I always get happy about cake. I dont know why. Maybe its the warm smell as it bakes in the oven.. the fun of spreading creamy icing or dusting of icing sugar, cocoa, or other topping... mmmmmm......

Its one of the first happy smells to enter into my brain as a young child.

Maybe its the fact that cake is associated with the happier things in life - a wedding, a baby, a birthday, a new job.

Maybe its the fact that my daughter is fascinated with "Happy to you cakes" and makes numerous cake replicas out of sand on a daily basis. Complete with a leaf or a stick as a "candle".

Maybe its the fact that I just love cake. Its sticky, sweet goodness.

Its almost my 3rd wedding anniversary.. I'm thinking of ordering a mini-replica of our wedding cake to celebrate. It was an awesome cake - marble chocolate/vanilla with bavarian cream filling, and butter cream icing, from the Orleans Bakery in east end Ottawa.

It was tasty.

Just thinking of that cake makes me happy.
