A Strange Wedding Cake

Indeed, a strange wedding cake! This is real strange, I must say. You must absolutely hear this, I pray. Almond marzipan, on stands masked with black chocolate; Candy laces and ribbons made its beautiful garbs. I ponder; why in God’s name, eat all these carbs! Seriously, are these black Fondant roses I see here? Quite an evolution from our traditional bride’s pie! Well…what does this imply? Dreading a wedding life with dark future or does it symbolize breaking off with past lovers; Invited surely to take the party's leftovers! As the knife cut through innocent white, dark jelly oozes out and trickles down the levels, staining the spotless damask into perfect designs of devils! Red marmalade takes its turn to flow down into rivulets. The bride and the bridegroom poke a finger, each to share it and I hear a spine chilling screech… All I see is their demoniac grin as I make it to the exit! 22/02/17 Contest 'Relishing cake' by Julia Ward 8th prize out of 10 - Glory Judged 7/03/17
