Usually, I prefer to be number one, but I guess I can make an exception this time.\" He grinned. \"What's in here?\" He snapped the red-and-white -striped string on the white bakery box and opened the lid. A little greedy, too, I thought. Wanted to enjoy life now. He downed the cupcake in two bites- all moist devil's food with a dark truffle center, spread with a white-chocolate-and-coffee frosting I made with confectioner's sugar, the easy kind of buttercream. He grabbed a napkin to wipe the crumbs from his lips. \"That was some cupcake, Cupcake.\" And I knew I had gotten him right. Strong, dark, and handsome chocolate truffle- that masculine \"shoulder to lean on\" fix that women loved. Risk-taking devil's food. Gregarious white chocolate, because it's boring alone, but good with almost any other ingredient.

Antique wood-and-glass display cases had mottled milk chocolate-brown marble countertops. Antique iron-and-glass stands would make the future little cakes (under their glass domes) pop up and down on the counter like jaunty hats. From the top of the left wall of the bakery, Gavin had hung a canvas curtain and arranged a display area in front of it. Both the curtain and display would change each month- as would, of course, the colors and flavors we showcased. The idea was to sell not only cakes, but also cake stands, serving pieces, plates, paper napkins, and other goodies, so once your little cakes got home, they'd look as good as they did in my bakery. One-stop shopping. On the right, Gavin had arranged a seating area with dark bentwood chairs and cafe tables. It looked like a tea salon in Paris. I sighed with delight. But I wanted to see where I would spend most of my time. The work and storage areas were screened off in the back, although I would have been happy to show off my two Vulcan convection-ovens-on-wheels and the big stainless steel worktable with the cool marble slab at one end for chocolate work. The calm milk-chocolate plaster walls, stainless steel, and white marble made the workspace look like a shrine to the cake baker's art.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judith Fertig" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judith-fertig/the-walls-were-painted-a-robin-s-egg-blue-antique-wood-and-glass/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d6/judith-fertig-22510_bakery_the-walls-were-painted-a-robin-s-egg-blu_2427920.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d6/judith-fertig-22510_bakery_the-walls-were-painted-a-robin-s-egg-blu_2427920.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3d6/judith-fertig-22510_bakery_the-walls-were-painted-a-robin-s-egg-blu_2427920.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The walls were painted a robin's-egg blue.
