Romance is back, or rather I am back! As your Charlotte Romance Examiner, I apologize, but I had to take a brief hiatus to finish up my latest romantic suspense novel. Now I am back to shower Charlotte with tips on romance and offer escapism with my Chance Encounters articles. Perhaps I will even bring about the return of Leila of Lake!
They tell you to never go to the food store while you're hungry. Well, they neglected to mention that writing an article on an empty stomach can result in biased material. Today I would like to talk about alternative romantic gifts...the gift of cake!
With reality shows such as Cake Boss and Top Chef: Just Desserts to name a few, we see the incredible skills that can go into making something as simple as a cake, where a chef's only limitation is your own imagination. In Cake Boss, Buddy creates a lifesize replica of his wife...out of dough! How romantic is that?
You might ask yourself, will she be offended if I give her a cake? Does it imply that I think she likes cake too much? Is it not as romantic as flowers? Stop over-thinking! If the cake is intricate and represents something from the heart, she may not even dare to eat it. She may be so swept away by the magnitude of the gesture that she'll have it petrified, or exhibited in a museum.
Who doesn't like cake? Who doesn't like romance? Why can't we blend them for today?
