My cake?
Made after the deadline
Laced with Jim Bean
Red and White Label
Ran out of Brandy
Crumbly, Messy
Drunken
Wrapped hastily
In cheesecloth and foil
Still yummy, rich, decadent -

Nice rationalization at the end.
And, regarding permalinks, The code can not be put in a comment as the comment would interpret the code and not display it. However, if you send an email to mdmcculley@reachone.com I can put it in a reply.
I’ll tell you what I really loved about this poem. The descriptions can apply to the cake of course, but you can turn it round in your mind and have them describe the “baker.” It makes for delicious imagery!! This was fun.
I thought your cake description was like the cake we made, sort of.
