Food Descriptive Essay
Birthdays have been special over the years, what makes it special is not balloons or parties, but the desert! Every birthday that I can remember I have had a chocolate flourless, double layer cake with rich chocolate icing on the top. Its home made by my mom and it makes the day even more special because she made it by hand.
Since I was young, chocolate has been my favorite thing to eat, no matter what time of the day, I’ll eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and cannot resist it when I see it. Just the sight of a dark, scrumptious, chocolate makes my mouth water like a little kid at the zoo eyeing some cotton candy. I inherited my sweet tooth from my mom’s dad, grandpa John; he would cover loads of healthy food such as fruit and cereal with loads of sugar.
The warm inside of the chocolate cake when it first comes out of the oven makes my taste buds jump with joy, and the frosting is as smooth as malaises, rich with 2 pound of chocolate mixed into it. During the singing of the birthday song, I can see the wax from the candles dripping off and just can’t wait to blow them out so I can jump into the cake and relish the taste.
I don’t know what I would do without chocolate, but I’m sure glad I can enjoy it with my family the way birthdays should be celebrated.
