Everyone Deserves A Cake

As children, many of us were not fortunate enough to receive every single thing that we longed to have, to own, to eat. I lusted after the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake: oreo ice cream, chocolate cake. A person I know lusted for a Fudgie the Whale Cake made by Carvel. My brother, I believe, once got a cake in the shape of a cowboy boot. My mom made it special, just for him.

You'd go to your friends' birthday parties and pizza parties and see the other kids get the lusted after fancy thing. This didn't change the longing desire to have your own Fudgie or your own Cowboy boot, but you did satiate the immediate desire by devouring a delicious piece of Fudgie or boot for yourself.

Though some of us may not have received that very prized, very special cake that we so wished to received, it doesn't mean it's too late. Everyone Deserves A Cake. And I'll bake you, special, just for you.
