Since I'm a passionate dessert lover, I've tasted various kinds of desserts in my life. Here, for my first post on this blog, I'd like to talk about this special made-to-order cake in celebration of my 18th birthday a few months ago.
My birthday was on June 27th, just a few days before July 1st (when the College Entrance Exam taken place), so I was actually a little bit nervous about the coming-soon exam. My mom also knew about this, and she wanted to do something for me that both to congratulate my becoming an adult and to release my anxiety about the big exam. As a result, she went to a bakery nearby and ordered this special birthday cake for me.
It was a HUGE SURPRISE when I opened the paper box and saw the cake. I was like, "OMG what's this in front of my eyes!!!" It was so beautiful and creative, like a work of art.
As you see in the picture, there was a slogan made of dark and white chocolate to cheer me up in both on the exam and in my future life.
There were also something amazing on the top of the cake---two puffs shaped like swans! It was so elegant and exquisite that I fell in love with them at the first sight : ) My mom told me that these two swans symbolized a big change in my life---to become a grown-up! Just like the stage when the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan~
When removing all the decorations on the cake, I found another surprise. There were various kinds of sliced fruits on the top, including strawberries, kiwis, peaches and pineapples! It was colorful, creating a joyful atmosphere of celebration.
I was really touched when receiving this precious birthday gift from my dear mom. She racked her brain for the cake merely to give me a special present on my 18th birthday. Needless to say, the cake tasted wonderful. It was indeed the most unique as well as unforgettable birthday cake I've ever had.
