What is "The Best Friend Story"? What is behind this competition ? Well its simple .
4 days back while sitting down to eat dinner I was trying to figure out the perfect gift to give my best friend - someone who I had known for 15 years yet knew so well that I had rejected all the ideas I had thought of OR to be more precise, she had rejected all the ideas I had thought of. Finally came the idea of giving to her something for all the support she had shown me all this while for FLOC - spending the night with me to make a cake , tasting everything, rushing to my house every time I had learnt a new technique, giving constructive criticism which often ended up into a fight, coming at 11 PM to see a cake we had just completed and overall, for believing in us , basically a typical Best Friend. Thus to show how much I've valued everything she's done for me till now resulting in "THE BEST FRIEND STORY".
However, this was the gift. What kind of a cake do you give the person whose not only seen all your cakes but even helped on some of them ? Let me describe her for you - She's one of the most loyal people you will ever know , she's super stubborn , has gone back to studying after years of working , loves my family just like her own family , wanted to live in Paris for the longest time and when she visited it , decided she loves India, wants a firangi baby with an Indian husband and is the best secret-keeper in the world. Thus cakes I decided - an Eiffel tower, a I love Paris cake , a student surrounded by books with Masters in french written , a bottle of Wine , a picture of all of us , a picture of her and me , a scene from Paris printed and many more like this. Well guess what ? ALL WERE REJECTED and all by her.
It was now 3 hours before her dinner and we were forcing her to go for dinner with us thus I had only half an hour in which to think of an idea. Finally my brain cells worked and I decided to gift her messages on the cake , but messages that could only be understood by her as they were in French. After days of thinking, this is what we finally came up with(Given above). She loved it and our day was made:) Another one for FLOC!!!
