WORK today was good. Our photocall went well, I used a camera and managed to remember to remove the lens cap, while taking half decent photos, and there was cake. Oh, did I mention the cake? And this wasn’t just a cake, it was a masterpiece!
In fact, despite the press story today being a good one, and a lot of time and effort on my friend Kay’s behalf to get the event together in the first place, it was all about the cake.
Forty hours and a lot of patience and skill went into this baby, and it became the focal point for the entire afternoon.
When I think about it..of course it was! Think about any big happy event in your life and I bet a cake is involved somewhere along the way!
Birthdays, Christmas, christenings, bar mitzvahs, weddings and anniversaries..they all involve a cake, and you can guarantee when it comes to cutting the cake, or blowing out candles, the cameras will come out to mark the occasion!
So effectively today that’s all we were doing! We were celebrating the end of the first phase of a building programme - and as it’s a celebration, clearly there has to be a cake.
It did look way too good to cut up. I was a little mortified when the call was made that it had to be eaten, but I suppose that’s what cakes are for at the end of the day!
I think I ate a small estate on Wollaton Vale and a short stretch of the A52. Yes, that’s what I said. If you look at the cake in detail, you’ll understand my ramblings.
Right, I’m off to try and shake off this sugar rush!
