Model Answer 1:
My nephew just loved eating German chocolate cake whether there was an occasion for it or not. But an occasion makes it even more fun as you get to share it with your friends and families alike. The occasion was a birthday party of my nephew (my brother’s elder son who turned 7) about a couple of months ago, and we decided to celebrate it with a big German chocolate cake. It had to be a big cake as per the “order” of my nephew since he wanted to invite all of his classmates from his elementary class!
The search for the best kind of cake was in full force as I, along with my brother, started hitting the cake baking shops one after another. We even tried a few pieces of cakes ourselves in an attempt to find the best kind(s). Then, after spending a hectic 3 hours in the streets/shops, we found what we were exactly looking for, and immediately decided to order for one. The big brown German chocolate cake, with no less weight than 20 pounds, would be ready after one week. Finally, we were ready to celebrate the best birthday ever, at least my nephew thought so!
Was it a special cake? Of course, it was a very a special cake not because of its signature taste from the best kind of melted chocolate, buttermilk, whipped egg whites and coconut pecan filling, but because how it made my nephew and his friends feel special and happy. It was a heavenly sight to see a bunch of kids laughing, playing and enjoying each other’s company over a cake (my kind nephew didn’t forget to offer me a slice even though he was busy with his friends). Besides, it was a special cake to me because the cake was baked according to my specific instructions such as making the cake a bit thinner than usual, and not using too much sour cream in it for the purpose of ensuring a better taste.
So, how exactly did the cake taste? Well, you know that the cake tasted “awesome” when a bunch of kids asks for just the same kind of cake with the same taste every day!
Model Answer 2:
A cake is an inevitable part of a birthday celebration and without blowing the birthday candle and cutting the cake, a birthday party seems incomplete. Thank you very much for this great topic and I would like to share my experience of celebrating my mom’s birthday for which I bought a special cake.
It was my mom’s birthday in the middle of June last year, and I planned with my sister to make it special by rejoicing the day. My parents are very enthusiastic about celebrating our birthday every year but when it comes to revelling their birthday, they are quite adamant and gives different excuses. Last year, we celebrated my mom’s birthday without even letting her know about it. I and my sister went to a large bakery shop earlier that day and picked a 3-pound eggless truffle cake, which is my mom’s favourite, and we purchased the cake to surprise her.
In the evening a few relatives and two friends of mine came to our house and we asked my mom to come to my room. All the birthday arrangements including the cake and gifts were well hidden in my room. When my parents entered my room, a bunch of surprises were waiting for them. My parents became speechless and I was so happy to see their smile. My mother cut the cake and we sang the birthday song for her. It was a large cake considering the number of people and we all enjoyed it. Later that night we went to a renowned Chinese restaurant and enjoyed our dinner.
The cake was special because it was meant for the birthday of a very special person in our life – my mother. I have bought many cakes including birthday cakes on different occasions but purchasing a cake for my mother was something truly special as it made her happy. It was not merely a cake but a gesture of our love for her and our gratefulness for everything she has done and still doing for us.
