The Dessert - the Last Course of the Banquet

“Dessert can be very desirous, captivating the senses with its irresistible appeal. A decadent glace gateau can bring one to blissful heights. Yet, indulging further may lead to an unpleasant aftermath - a nauseous feeling that one never wants to think of the cake again. "Eat Me Up (and Taste the Sweetness of My Heart)" explores the innate human desire for connection and belonging through the symbolic image of a gateau. It's a reflection of my essence, and while the "cake" may not cater to everyone's tastes, it holds its own unique allure for those willing to indulge. Ultimately, I am not beholden to conform to others' expectations; my flavour, though unconventional, is authentically mine, and those who appreciate it will savour it to the last bite. ”
