The Cake Journey

A garden wedding is about to take place, a lemon cake is requested. A lemon cake should be easy to find, lemons are a spring's delight. A soft white frosting must be the cakes new dress, no hard chewy frosting to get stuck in the teeth. The cake journey is taking me to many cake shops, no~no way~cannot do~is all I am hearing. What is a friend suppose to do, all I need is one lemon wedding cake dressed with soft white frosting. At the start it all sounded so easy, a nightmare it has become. What am I to do, what will I tell the bride. She is counting on me her maid-of-honor, her lemon cake I must show up with. The cake journey will continue, I must find this lemon cake with soft white frosting. I need to find it very soon, this cake journey needs to end with a happy bride.
