You cannot put enough milk and sugar in it to convince me coffee tastes good.

Me

So no coffee flavored ice cream? No chocolate covered espresso beans? No tiramisu?

Lina

Gag. God bless my mother but she bought a tiramisu cake for my birthday three years ago. She knows I loathe coffee. She’s had a nine month advantage on anyone else who knows me and she still got it. She just wasn’t thinking. Everyone else had cake but me.

Me

That stinks. Red velvet, chocolate, yellow, lemon, or carrot?

Lina

YES! But cake is just a vessel for frosting.

Me

Cream cheese, whipped, buttercream, or fondant?

Lina

Fondant is disgusting. Looks pretty tastes gross. Whipped is pretend frosting. Cream cheese or buttercream all the way.

Me

You could lose a finger in my family if you try to take someone’s corner piece. We all love frosting. Guilty pleasure.

I can think of another guilty pleasure I enjoyed. Her. I’d love to have several more helpings.

Lina

What’s your fave cake?

Me

YES!!! I haven’t met a cake I don’t like. Brownies?

I give her the same answer she gave me when I asked her what her favorite is. I don’t have one. I’ll take any cake offered to me.

Lina

Definitely. With or without frosting?

Me

That goes without saying. Fudge frosting all the way and no nuts

Lina

If I’m going to have brownies why would I go and have something healthy like nuts? I’ll eat an apple later.

Me

Caramel covered apples?
