Cake
Boss.
Relationships
are like cake. Be it tiered, creamed or
sponge. They come in an assortment of flavours
to cater or suite different palates. Some
love chocolate and some like vanilla. I dabbled in household management in High
School, better known as Home Economics and I was taught the importance of the
right ingredients and most importantly the right quantities. “You have to
measure correctly in order to get the best results” I was taught.
The top five
baking ingredients for making a cake are flour, sugar, eggs, butter, leaveners (something
that helps a baked item to rise). These are necessary to ensure that your cake
is not a complete flop. I’ve been baking cakes for a long time now my favourite
being death by chocolate of course *licks lips*, and I can tell you I have left
out some of these ingredients and that has resulted in disaster more than once.
So I decided to use what little culinary skills I possess to help myself and
those I know to rival Buddy Valastro the acclaimed Cake Boss and create a masterpiece
that put his to shame.
Like any
good recipe we require ingredients, hope you have a pen and paper ready, LET’S
BAKE!
We will
need the following:
1.
Flour_
Communication
2.
Sugar_
Respect
3.
Eggs_
Reciprocity
4.
Butter_
Realistic expectations
5.
Baking
Powder_ Intimacy
The
flour represents communication which is a vital component in any healthy relationship
because it provides the structure and body like in a cake. Communication forms
the basis of any good structure and without it the other ingredients will be of
no use because an unstable structure will collapse eventually. A solid foundation is means being able to
discuss, in a calm tone, from the beginning the things you both want and don’t want
and understanding each other without blowing up in each other’s faces.
The
sugar is a sweetener which in baking maintains a complex role in baked goods
because it contributes texture. This represents respect which is the core of
any good relationship. A man and woman who have respect for themselves will
respect each other. Respect is indicated in behaviour, how a person treats or
rather handle themselves and secondly in speech, that can be seen in the way a
person speaks to you or most importantly what they say about you when you are
not around.
The
eggs acts as the binding agents in any recipe, in other words they hold all the
ingredients together and this is reciprocity. Reciprocity or cooperation in a
healthy romantic relationship means give and take. This means a partnership
based on compromise, letting the other partner win from time to time if that
means making the other person happy. This entails unselfishness and not always
wanting to be right but submitting to making someone’s happiness a priority. It’s
better to lose an argument than to lose someone to one.
Oh,
butter! In baking butter adds flavour and can help keep foods fresher for
longer this is true with realistic expectations. Realistic expectations means understanding you
are both imperfect and that things will not always be sunshine and roses. This
means being open and honest with each other, laying all your cards on the table
so to say about the things you do expect and NO ladies men cannot read minds.
If you are expecting something darling breathe and let it out.
Last
but not least my favourite, baking powder which you guessed right is INTIMACY….*sweats* Baking Powder like any good dose of intimacy
reacts with the other ingredients and produces bubbles that cause the mixture
to RISE *sweatsprofusely*. They
say intimacy is not about sex but it is being comfortable enough with each to
share each other. Well we all know we can only truly share each other in the
nude, the rest don’t count. So Ms_Curvy means trusting each other and baring it
all with no reservations, except protection of course lol.
Bon
Appetit
Compliments
to the chef..
