Cakes are delicious! I chose to do cakes because I enjoy watching cake decorating shows, and seeing the different designs of the cakes. I also enjoy eating cake. I enjoy watching shows like Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, and the Food Networks challenges which have to do with cake. I also like seeing the disasters with cakes. When I write this I mean that I like seeing cakes fall, get crushed, and anything else that happens to cakes. I also like seeing the workers fight or yell at each other. One thing I don't like is that when I watch it I get really hungry. I also start to crave cake. So this is why I like cake.
