What is the Deal With Cakes?

(Taken from my book of essays, written June 16, 2011)
What is the deal with cakes? It seems to me that people are overly fascinated with them.
Cakes for weddings, cakes for birthdays. Cakes for parties and festivals, cakes for pets. Cakes for new mothers. Cakes for reunions, dances, going aways, and home comings. And then sometimes cakes for no reason at all.
Having a cake is not, in fact, a bad thing. Cakes are delightful. But everything should be used in moderation.
Meg thinks that "Chocolate cakes are the best!"
But I disagree. I prefer... Um... well it depends on the day. But one combination which I find quite delectable is a red velvet with cream cheese frosting and raspberry filling. Yum!
Cake can be very delicious. But not when you eat it excessively. It's just too much sweet, all in the one place. I prefer snacks to be more salty and savory. Doritos, corn nuts, cheap dollar store cheetos, bugles (especially the nacho cheese flavor), cheezits... I would take any of these over a slice of cake any day. Well almost any day. I, being a [teenage] girl will sometimes find myself with an undeniable craving for sweets. But... more often than not I find myself craving some chips or even a burger. I guess everyone's different...
Yes?
