Dear chocolate cake,
It was love at first bite! You are what happiness tastes like and while your National Day comes only once a year on Wednesday, January 27, we love to celebrate with a slice on any occasion.
In fact, we would make ourselves sick over you, steal the last piece for you, even lick the bowl for you.
Whether layered, ooey-gooey, fluffy, decadent or frosted…we’ll keep coming back for more!
Thanks for all the good times.
