No doubt cake is good enough on its own. Cake needs no extra meaning or purpose. But I entertain myself trying to think of the ideal cake for the person, the occasion, and the message behind it. Like when we went to visit our friends J&J and their newborn baby Hazel. The cake had hazelnuts: because she is Hazel. Oregon Pears: for lasting friendship. Lemon zest: for good health. A small size to match her small size. A round shape to symbolize the cyclical nature of life. The perfect cake for a perfect little girl. Of course, I didn't think of it until after we met Hazel, so we ate it as Super Bowl cake instead.
