AWARE of Mama making her famous yellow cake with FUDGE icing, I could hardly keep my attention on my homework. Why do I have to write an essay on the THEME of civic duty right now? The smell from the kitchen is too tantalizing! I rummage around my school bag – maybe there is a stick of CLOVE chewing gum. Or something else that will take my mind off fluffy yellow layers with rich fudgy icing… mmmmmmm. I sigh, thinking of how the icing hardens slightly along the rim of the plate. My favorite thing is to run my finger along that space, believing that no one will notice. Aargh. How will I ever wait to get a piece?!
