Mummy's plastic mango cake

Last Saturday, we celebrated Mummy's birthday with a mango covered vanilla sponge cake. Sigh, the mango cake looks amazing before cutting, like the ones you see in cookbooks. However, when Mummy tried to slice it, the mango layer peels off like a kind of plastic. It adheres stubbornly to the knife. After desperate attempts to save the mango layer, we have to be contented eating the sponge cake part only. Oh well, so much for a mango cake.

To Mum,
You are my invisible strength. Like an Ethiopian jewel, your beauty and grace inspires me each day. Thank you for persisting through the difficult moments, you are an epitome of a perfect mother. I am blessed because of you.
