I reached for a vanilla cupcake with glistening strawberry icing. They were freshly baked and the strawberry aroma filled the room. The scents of vanilla and strawberry danced in the air and drew me toward each edible rose colored jewel. I took the soft and moist cake in my hand. It still gave off heat from the oven. It was like holding a comforting, delicious pillow between my index finger and thumb. The icing was a bit melted and was somewhat shiny in the light. I took a bite and the smooth berry icing stuck to my teeth. The spongy cake was warm and comforting like a blanket covering my taste buds. The flavors united once again in a beautiful reunion of creamy strawberry and mouthwatering vanilla. Each bite was unadulterated bliss.
