Writing-Be Descriptive!

Did you know that October 10th is "National Cake Decorating Day?" Doesn't that sound fun?

Imagine that you were going to create and decorate a cake to represent you and your personality. What would it look like? What colors would you use? Why did you pick those colors? What kind of decorations (edible or not) would be included on the top? Be as descriptive as possible! Good writing should paint a picture in the reader's mind and that's your task for this blog topic. Are you up to the challenge?

The inside of my cake would be yellow since that's a bright, happy, cheery color. I would make a creamy light blue icing because that's my favorite color and is soothing to the eyes. Lastly, I'd include multi-color sprinkles on top. Sprinkles are fun and always make me smile. Like my cake, I think every day should include those things: happiness, fun, and smiles!

Now describe your cake to me! How delicious and wonderful can you make those words and images?

My cake will be inside full of chocolate, why? because when I feel happy or sad this glorious taste push me back in track or enhance in great degree my joy. Talking about the icing would be extremely creamy and soft like whipped cream topping, so the color will be white as snow. I like the purity and serene view of this color. To finish my cake I will put on some edible: flowers, animals like dogs, horses, bears, to give some life to my cake, I will finish my decoration with a river of chocolate fudge. I love animals and the natural world. I think this world will be happier if they stop to see and appreciate this planet provided by God.

The colors in my cake would be pink and blue because I associate these colors with happiness and well being. Blue is also the color for peace and tranquility which is similar to the way I feel everything should be. The inside would be chocolate because chocolate is rich and flavorful like my personality! The topping of my cake would be pure whipped cream that is a white color because. That is perfect to even everything out.

My cake would be a scene at the beach because it relaxes me. The sand would be crumbled gram crackers, they are delicious. The ocean would be a tourquois color icing and in the middle would be a sunset red icing reflecting the sun setting. Sunset red is a calming color to me.

My cake will be vanilla with banana fillings. My colors of icings will be red, yellow, and green. I chose these colors because they bring out the best of me. I would top off the cake with a traffic light design because my children don't know when to slow down. I would love my cake because my kids make me go bananas.

I would create a cake that has multiple layers each with a different flavor. For instance, tier one coconut rum cake, tier two Carmel-filled strawberry cake, and chocolate lava on the third tier. I would do this because I am so multileveled myself and filled with different things. On the outside I would have to cover the entire cake with butter cream frosting and each level would be covered with Butterfinger, Oreo cookie, or chocolate chip pieces, and topped with an edible poem. All of this sweetness is because I am sweet, and the topping is for me to remind me of the beauty of life and how it can be summed up in one little note.

The inside of my cake would be yellow, simply because I love the flavor. The outside would be topped with whippped cream. There would be figurines of Tinker Bell on top. The rim of the cake would be purple and white. I would give it to my grand-daughter just to see her little face light up. She loves Tinker Bell!
