Like a Tart or a Pie, a Sponge Cake can mean Tea Time but it can also very well mean an occasion of some sort, may it be just a Sunday, a Family reunion, a Birthday, an Anniversary. It symbolises a celebration either big or small. It is sheer indulgence and usually a crowd pleaser especially for the sweet tooth within the Guests or the Family.

Cake is a four letters word like Love and like Care. Of course one can mention hate when a Cake is tedious to do or fear when you are afraid to f*ck it up at one stage or another. There are also four letters words after all. But one must always remember the good time they had, having a Cake or sharing it.
