Sugar, honey, sweetie
- these are the words we use for the people we love best. Love is sweet
indeed, and our occasions of love are always enhanced by pudding,
pie and sugary treats. Holidays center on include a
bountiful display of desserts. On Valentine's day we shape our treats
like hearts. For a wedding, that solemn
occasion of love, we build tier upon tier of frosted cakes.
Love and sweetness
go together, but there is rigor in a dessert. Good baking is exact and
indebted to science. While we may throw a roughly chopped carrot in
the stew, the apple for a tart is sliced slowly and evenly. Desserts
are embellished by swirls, mint leaves, whipped cream, sometimes more
sugar. A swirl takes effort, as does the exact placement of a leaf.
Mothers sing a love song with every
dessert.
