Let's Eat Cake

!0 word contest - Dessert, painted, copper, plastic, kick, speck, consummate, documented, crow, stickler

I stood behind the stage, and watched the scene unfold!.  A DESSERT that was 5 stories high was being created. The chef an artist extrodinaire was sculpting his showpiece.

A dark sinister castle rose from flour dust and water, disguised in dark blue frosting.

This skyscraper cake was growing by the minute!.  His brushes and tools were flying everywhere!

I watched intently as he PAINTED viscious dragons on the moldy green COPPER towers.

Dragon breath red paint engulfed one side of the castle. A dangerous bloody moat surrounded the castle. He used PLASTIC cut-outs of evil looking witches and wicked goblins. A bubbling cauldron with half boiled toads hanging helplessly over the sculptered hard candy walls!

I got a KICK out of his enthusiasm and passion, he was a STICKLER for detail that was for sure. There wasn't a SPECK of cake that wasn't covered with chilling and creepy creatures of the underworld. A CONSUMMATE master in the baking realm!  The judges vigourously DOCUMENTED his artistic endeavor. Suddenly I saw him carve out of plastic this hideous CROW, wow! that would definitely add a dramatic finish of spin-chilling gore to this frightful gourmet delight..

Suddenly the lights went out on stage, and the audience let out screams, an eerie light hung over the cake. Smoke was coming out of the cauldron. The witches were laughing hysterically, chanting incomprehensible words. The chef seemed frozen in time, his eyes glazed-over, his hand holding the icing knife in mid air.  Panic-stricken I started running out of the building. I didn't stop till I reached the street corner, I looked around and to my horror the building had turned into the sinister blue castle cake!..... I kept running and running and never went back!

'Let's Eat Cake'
Hebe,
Oh my, this is truly a creative work you've put together here! The words fit quite well into your tale and it is begun and finished with gusto. I was mesmerized by it. It was a little which was the point. So glad at the end you escaped...yikes! From the colors and creatures and the ill feeling of doom it is a grand tale. The ten words are thoughtfully put in a measured way to bring about an expected end. I sure did have fun reading your descriptive piece.
Blessings and so glad this sweet cake of doom is not real..
Kathy

[MarkAndTheOcean]

Very neat story! I always love when regular, everyday things or ideas are turned demented or into horror.

[Hebe]

Thanks Mark ... sometimes my pen has a mind of it's own...it takes off and there's no stopping it.... glad you enjoyed it 🍰

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn..]

Hauntingly chilling to say the very least ... Horror at its finest to say that you have penned a nightmare most would not wish to visit, much less revisit ... Nice job ...

[Hebe]

Hi Marvin...you discovered my spooky gateau tale :) thank you my friend.

[Masey Money]

As a culinary student I can honestly say I have fallen in love with this piece of writing. You are so creative and talented! I cant wait to read more of your work.(:

[Hebe]

Aww thank you so much!... I love to cook also, one of my passions:)

[Stan Lee]

This is so creative! I'm pretty impressed by how you managed to make a whole story out of these ten words and a reeeeeeally scary one too!

[Hebe]

You are quite inspiring, Hebe.
Thank you for sharing this excellent craft.

[Hebe]

Thank you my friend appreciate your words.

[Rimmee]

Dear Hebe, I doubt whether your creation is a masterpiece or you yourself. Sometimes I just feel as though you are an epitome of creativity. Your writings are too priceless to be described by these mere words. But I have just given a try to describe the beauty within your writing.

Regards,
Rimmee

Hi Rimmee....i can't thank you enough for your thoughts.... i have been writing ever since i can remember :) your words do mean a lot to me, it inspires me to write more and hopefully a few moments of pleasure to the readers, thank you!

[Rimmee]

You are most welcome. :)

[Wicahpi]

You are a true Master at your craft. Wow, a fantastical creative mind with the visual stimulation to keep us glued to the words weaved into this stoic tale. I loved every second of it! I just got insulted about how ridiculous my contest is and how no body enters it anymore. Well, Hebe, you have renewed my vigor. I personally love this contest and you've shown me why, yet again.

Maybe it is ridiculous to pick 10 words out of thin air and sit back and wait for magic to happen with them, but I will continue, even if only one person has the grit to take on the challenge.

THANK YOU!!!

[Hebe]

Please don't listen to anyone...only those who have no imagination and no talent in writing would say something like that. I can't believe that anyone could be so rude and hurtful. I think that your contest inspires the imagination and builds creativity. I love your contest and will enter them all. Have a great evening :)
