Butter cream icing that pleases the palate
Her sugar high’s taller than the four-tiered cake
Will this one do? She has to cast a ballot
As another sweet mouthful our bride must take
Ahhh, red velvet cake, so moist, freshly made
Delectable milk chocolate between layers
Eat the figures on top; don’t be afraid
All smiles are these candy bride and groom players
On sugar she flies from one cake to the next
Stopping only to admire their shape
But it’s the red velvet cake with “love” in text
From this choice the young bride can't escape
Angel cake might seem more appropriate
With layers as white as her new wedding dress
But enthusiasm it cannot create
For the rich taste of velvet it doesn’t possess
