If this were about cake
and just that and fondant
with matching figures on top
pouring sugared acceptance
like libation into those small pans
I’d say buy another
somewhere else
and don’t demand it
but this cake is less rolled icing
and more symbol
which tastes bitter to some
as they bake it
and far sweeter
to simply eat.

Beautiful use of metaphor, lovely poetry Susan.
Aw, thank you!
OH, I don’t know. Fondant usually tastes pretty terrible.
So do most food colorings….
Stick with white.
Or chocolate.
Yeah.
Definitely chocolate.
I detest fondant. Actually, I don’t care for frosting at all. I prefer glazes, if anything.
Sometimes, I make an exception for chocolate 😉
I rather like the metaphor here as well as the literal intent. Pay no attention to Johnny. Chocolate? Bleeeuuuurrrrgggghhh.
LOL, I hate frosting of all kinds.
🙂
brilliant
Thanks, Paul!
