Musings about the name of cakes
Imagine that you're asking someone what cake this is.
The person's reply would be, "Carrot Cake Lah."
Without looking at the tag, we would really think that this person who replied is probably too irritated or is using the singapore slang.
Humour was what flooded my mind when I spotted the cake while glancing through the glass refrigerator, hoping to find a nice chocolate cake. However, another aspect of this illustration was that we need to pause and analyse before jumping to conclusions in every conversations. :)
Here's another one...
Do you like blueberries? How about a 15 blueberries on a cheesecake?
15 roses means I am really sorry. What does 15 blueberries mean then?
Are you telling me that you're sorry?
First I thought about having a cake with 99 blueberries and how could the baker arrange it such that after slicing to it's usual 6 or 8 slice, one can still have equal number of blueberries on each slice. Little did I realise that as I googled about the meaning behind each number of roses, I linked it to blueberries and came up with the above.
That's all for tonight!! Time to turn in!! :)
If you have noticed, the cake has one blueberry missing. :P
