I'm not reading enough baking and cooking blogs, articles or food reviews. I've run out of adjectives to describe 'good', 'fantastic' and 'wonderful'.
No, the thesaurus can't help. It's gotta do with sentence structures and phrasing now. So I gotta admit I'm no writer when it comes to describing food and desserts properly. It's like, I'm not able to express the words that will accord said items the proper compliments they deserve.
So instead of saying good, I ought to go a step further by saying exactly how good. Take the strawberry shortcake. The girlfriend saved this recipe so that she could bake this for me when she's back in town.
That cream cheese was ummm....creamy. I usually taste the cream cheese on scones and carrot cakes. Put on the strawberry shortcake cake, it added a different flavor. The girlfriend declared that she put very little sugar in there, way less than the recipe called for. And you know what, the sweetness versus all other flavors and the sugared strawberries turned out beautifully balanced.
Now, I just need to go take out that balloon of Strawberry Shortcake, pump it up and wear a pink dress to take a photo with the rest of the cake. Heeee.
