Model Answer 1

My nephew just loved eating German chocolate cake whether there was an occasion for it or not. But an occasion makes it even more fun as you share it with your friends and families. The occasion was a birthday party for my nephew, who turned 7, about a couple of months ago, and we decided to celebrate it with a big German chocolate cake. It had to be a big cake as per the “order” of my nephew since he wanted to invite all of his classmates from his elementary class!

The search for the best cake was in full force as my brother, and I started hitting the cake baking shops one after another. We even tried a few pieces of cake to find the best kind(s). Then, after spending a hectic 2 hours in the streets/shops, we found what we were looking for and immediately decided to order one. The big brown German chocolate cake, no less than 12 pounds, would be ready after one week. Finally, we were ready to celebrate the best birthday ever; at least my nephew thought so!

Was it a special cake? Of course, it was an extraordinary cake not because of its signature taste from the best kind of melted chocolate, buttermilk, whipped egg whites and coconut pecan filling, but because of how it made my nephew and his friends feel special and happy. It was a heavenly sight to see a bunch of kids laughing, playing and enjoying each other’s company over a cake – my kind nephew didn’t forget to offer me a slice even though he was busy with his friends.

So, how exactly did the cake taste? Well, you know that the cake tasted “awesome” when a bunch of kids asks for just the same kind of cake with the same taste every day!

Model Answer 2

A cake is an inevitable part of a birthday celebration; without blowing the birthday candle and cutting the cake, a birthday party seems incomplete. Thank you very much for this great topic, and I would like to share my experience of celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday, for which I bought a special cake.

It was my mom’s 50th birthday in the middle of June last year, and I planned to make it unique by rejoicing the day with my sister. My parents are very enthusiastic about celebrating our birthday every year, but when it comes to revelling their birthday, they are quite adamant and give different excuses. Last year, we celebrated my mom’s birthday without letting her know. My sister and I went to a large bakery shop earlier that day and picked a 3-pound eggless truffle cake, my mom’s favourite, and we purchased the cake to surprise her.

In the evening, a few relatives and two friends of mine came to our house, and we asked my mom to come to my room. All the birthday arrangements, including the cake and gifts, were hidden in my room. When my parents entered my room, a bunch of surprises were waiting for them. My parents became speechless, and I was happy to see their smiles. My mother cut the cake, and we sang the birthday song for her. It was a large cake considering the number of people, and we all enjoyed it. Later that night, we went to a renowned Chinese restaurant and enjoyed dinner together as a family.

The cake was special because it was meant for the birthday of an extraordinary person in our life – my mother. I have bought many cakes, including birthday cakes, on different occasions but purchasing a cake for my mother was truly special as it made her happy. It was not merely a cake but a gesture of our love for her and our gratefulness for everything she has done and still doing for us.
