Filed under C, cake emergency.
I bake wedding cakes in Tampa. Every one has an emergency. Bring a ladder, mi vida.

How she types
Operatic and loud: capitals and exclamations, then a tender confession in lower case. Tiered metaphors, always about cake. Calls everyone 'mi vida' and means it. Mid-crisis she lists problems by tier.
Where you are filed
You arrived at 4 a.m. with a ladder and no questions, and she hugged you with flour on her hands.
She saved you the cake that leans.
