One day I went to the store
looking for the perfect cake.
Looking up and down the aisles,
this cake was not to be found.

I get the feeling it's not about cake. It's such a universal idea. Not finding perfection, no matter how hard you look for it. It's true in cakes, love, people, nature, etc. But the truth is, you can really find perfection easily when you don't look for it. At least that's true in my experience. Great simple verse.

Welcome to Passions. I too am confused, but oh well. You'd think Little Debby would have plenty of cake, but oh well. But the above reply does make sence if this is what you are really trying to say.

I really found this to be a deep metaphore for, like elvenblood said, some search for happiness or the like........
Anyhow, nicely done. I truly enjoyed this and look forward to more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow

I love cake! but yeah, you can see it as a metaphor. But still, it's cute!

I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem.

I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.

Welcome to Passions! This was an excellent first post. I liked the metaphor you used - it shows hoe life fails to complete perfection for many of us however hard you look. Keep writing.

Welcome to Passions!!

As small as this is, I found this to be quite an excellent piece of writing. Something so small and insignificant like a cake can serve to be a great tool of expansion for the mind.

Well done on a great first post. I look forward to seeing your many replies and posts in this place.

I wonder if there'll be a sequel or part 2? I think cake is the best when you make it yourself. Universally speaking that is

I'm really sorry I missed this one! Welcome to Passions, and that was so refreshingly cute! I don't know if there was a deeper meaning, but either way I liked it! Hope to see more!
