Cake Quote by Antonia Lofaso
“My mom would have 'ice cream parties' in her bedroom when my dad had to work the graveyard shift. She would snuggle us in her bed and give us toasted pound cake with ice cream and fresh fruit. My dad would come home to find us all asleep in one bed with scattered bowls and spoons everywhere.”
