Cupcakes like love (Patreon)

“I let all the tastes play in my mouth. The cupcake was light and creamy  and subtly infused with aromatic cardamom. It was covered in a luscious  rose-cardamom frosting. There were rose petals in the cake and on top,  red and pink. They were fragrant and sweet and the tiniest bit salty.
"Joy and sorrow. Laughter and tears," I said. "These cupcakes do taste like love. And love that you wished you still had.”
