Descriptive Writing

I have written a few short pieces of text about food, and I have tried to be as descriptive as possible. Warning: Lots of descriptions of yumminess to follow - may cause severe hunger and cravings for sweet chocolatey food (it happened to me, and I'm the one who wrote them)!


Chocolate Cake 

A large, gooey cake with swirls of glossy ganache, sandwiched together with chocolate cream, soft and squidgy. The sponge cake is moist and dark, still slightly warm from the oven, the outside coated with more chocolate cream, smoothed on and covered with little crumbly pieces of chocolate biscuit. In one delicious bite, you get a small amount of bitterness from the chocolate, along with the cool creamy texture of the filling, and the ganache melting in your mouth. What heaven!



Lemon Drizzle Cake

Soft, moist and refreshing cake. Lemon zest running through it in bursts of citrus flavour, complemented by a crunchy lemon sugar topping that dissolves slowly on the tongue, in hits of both sweet and sharpness. Pale icing piped across the top gives a look of simple beauty, inviting you to help yourself to a generous slice. The sponge is moist, but not soggy, and is wonderfully squidgy. One of  your 5-a-day in a cake!



Marshmallows

Soft pillows of white deliciousness. A small squidgy cloud with an icing sugar coating, leaving lightly crispy edges. Slightly sticky, and with a guarantee for a great time munching. Toasted marshmallows still have a little bit of solidness in the centre when they are perfect, but have strings of gooey sweetness leading from stick to mouth. Golden brown and set, with the crust on top sticking to your teeth as you bite in, this is a must for a perfect night camping out!

Here are some cakes that I've made:

Plain iced fairy cakes that I made for a friend's Bonfire party - all the children loved them!

Chocolate and blackberry muffins, with blackberry icing. We had millions of blackberries at my house, and I found this recipe to use them up. They were delicious!

Lemon traybake with a lemon water icing, which I made yesterday. Very simple, but they are so tasty there are only 5 left already!
