RE: This Cake is Divine! My Views on Religious Discussions (or Any Discussions, Really)
Great post. Yes to all of that.
Unfortunately cake is used by many different people, for many different reasons. Sometimes even to make something inedible look good from the outside. As you point out, the problem is not with the cake itself.
Thank you for this post, I really love cake but never thought about how well this metaphor actually fits to describe this problem!
Is there any occasion where cake doesn't fit? Especially pretty cake with strawberries on top? ;-)
Maybe only when I've already had a piece of chocolate cake and a piece of Limburgse vlaai with apricots... In all other cases: bring on the pretty cake with strawberries on top! ;-)
Or Smurfentaart. Noby, you haven't lived until you've tasted Smurfentaart. It's vlaai actually, filled with apricot jam, topped with whipped cream, topped with white chololate curls. Do they have that in the Netherlands?
Decadent food goals
We call that abrikozen-slagroom-vlaai, and yes. It even includes the white chocolate curls. Why would you call that Smurfentaart? Weird Flemish people! Ans yes, it's always my first choice whenever I get to have my birthday. (Unless Schwartzwalder-kirsch (without the kirsch) is available)
