Both Lavender and Scarlet get a devil’s food cake with pink frosting on their birthday in the book Switched at Birthday. This cake seems to appear many times during the book, and is clearly inserted by the author, Natalie Standiford, for a reason. At first glance, this could be overlooked as just a coincidence, but a further glance shows that the pink devil’s food cake is actually there to symbolize Scarlet’s and Lavender’s personalities. The pink devil’s food cake appears early on in the book, when Lavender gets her cake. “The cake was a store-bought devil’s food with pink frosting and an orange wax candle shaped like the number thirteen. I loved devil’s food but the candle was really ugly.” (pg. 23) The same cake also appears on Scarlet’s

While reading Like Water for Chocolate, I thought that how the girl named Tita was not allowed to marry the guy she loved and how she had to watch her sister marry him was interesting. However, I thought that the element was somewhat magical when she was making her sister Rosaura's wedding cake, and at the same time, she was thinking of Pedro whom she is in love with and he is now marrying her sister. As she was thinking of him, she began to cry. As she was crying, a tear drop went into the cake, and they were afraid that it messed up the meringue. I have not baked much, especially using meringue, but I felt that part was a little magical to me.

Almost every aspect of the original scene from the still frame of the movie is used except this crucial part has been altered to convey the meaning he is stressing. Although the object is changed from an apple to a “Big Mac” box it still has the same shades of red as the original. This color is typically used to symbolize stoppage or to warn of possibly hazardous material. Many would argue that changing such a small part of the scene would deem the new artwork as unoriginal and claim that Holmes stole the creativity of deceased Joe Grant, the artist behind the making of the evil witch. On the contrary, changing the apple to a more relevant type of poisoning to this day and age is one of the reasons why this painting is unique and original. This change draws attention to the overuse of and addiction to convenient fast food, and the harmful effects it has on our bodies. It also comments on the bad habits the younger generations are being overexposed to through communicating this message through the artwork of a children’s movie. This overexposure leads to it being a seemingly normal habit in the eyes of the

Why would someone prepare Baked Chocolate Ice Cream? Well, the idea of investing in an ice cream maker always made me cringe, and for a few reasons. The cost or functionality of a good machine, real estate, along with thrift. Considering high rent New York City as well as the accompanying small kitchens the conclusion is rather obvious. The reasonable options are the latter two of this list; thrift but moreover, real estate.
