be surrounded by it and, yes, we love to eat it! We have a simple "Philosophy of
Cake":
"A CAKE IS A PARTY, A BIRTHDAY, A WEDDING.
A CAKE IS WHAT IS SERVED ON THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE."
"Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert.
There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the
cake. No, really, I couldn't, she says, and then gives her flat stomach a
conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer
looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is
better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn't a person with
discipline, that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake
never made anybody fat. You don't eat the whole cake. You don't eat a cake
every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is
delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that is
safe, uncomplicated and without stress."
