An hour and thirty minutes later, the cake was finally done.
Calla stood in front of it, staring at her work with a tired but proud smile. The cake was covered in a smooth layer of frosting, and on top she had placed sliced strawberries, a few blackberries, and some melted chocolate she had drizzled over it. Right in the middle of the cake, she had written “Happy Birthday, Rico” with chocolate.
It wasn’t perfect. Some of the letters leaned a little to the side, and the “y” in birthday looked slightly crooked. One side of the frosting was also a bit uneven, and the chocolate drizzle had wandered off where she didn’t mean it to.
