Cake isn't only a Dessert

Earlier in the summer a young man I never met died in a car accident. I know his sister and through her heart, I feel I now know her bother, Alex. She started The Twenty-Six Project in honor of him.

In her words: So here's what I'm asking: let yourself be drawn outside of your comfort zone for the next 26 days and serve where you can, with what you have. Start tomorrow or start next week, but commit 26 days to serving however you can.

In time, I plan to post a few of what I call Alex Moments.

I attended an engagement party. In lieu of a store bought card, I wrote something to complement the pedestal cake dome I gave as a gift.

Cake isn't only a Dessert

I think life is a lot like cake.

Its tiers are layered with all kinds of experiences filled with predictability as well as the delightfully unexpected. It can be sweet or tart or crunchy or smooth. A cake can be beautiful with a bedazzling exterior, but always remember it's the filling that holds it together.

Sometimes cake tastes so good that too much can become a problem. One must pace, stop to savor. It's important to also know that even the merest crumb is as delicious as a whole slice, and should be tasted with thanksgiving.

Cake can fall flat if not properly handled, or get stale if ignored... but remember that it's flexible - that one can make adjustments to the recipe when needed.

Remember to share your cake with those who have none. This is important. And miraculously, any slivers given to others will self-replenish. That's how powerful and trustworthy the recipe is.

Oh, and always remember to thank the Chef. He nourishes us. He stirs in all the right ingredients - He carefully measures each step even when we forget.

So, I'm wishing you many, many delicious years filled with the stuff in life that's stirred just right to make the perfect cake.

Bon Appetit!
