After the American Century
To celebrate Obama's victory, I had the
local Danish bakery bake this cake. It is a specialty on the island of
Funen where I live, and tastes best with coffee. It is stickey
sweet, because that brown layer on top is not frosting but melted brown
sugar.
The bakery assistant asked if I wanted any text on it, and I said "Obama," and gave no more details. Possibly they thought it was boy's birthday cake, which might account for the charming drawing they did in white icing.
This cake was about six square feet (3 x 2) and demanded a hungry crowd. I started with a choir of 30 adults, who ate half of it last night. This morning my class nearly finished the job. There is a little left, but I am on a diet. An "Obamaka'er" is not a low calorie option. If I eat it to excess I will need Obamacare.
