The Cake Shop
On the corner of Aliday road there was an old cake shop. Everyone got their cakes at that shop. There were cakes so big you needed a van to take it home, and some were as small as an orange. The funny thing was you could always find the cake you want, just like the motto stated: all the cakes you'll EVER need!
The shop was owned by an old woman, she didn't look old though. She always wore pink and blue striped baggy pants and a purple DANCE shirt. Her name was Miss Langer and she wasn't married. Whenever anyone walked into her shop she greeted them with a big beam on her face, as she was an extremely gregarious woman, and she always said goodbye with a depressed look.
One day a little girl called Emily skipped into the shop causing the bell to clang. "Hello, how can I help you?" asked Miss Langer.
"I have just come to buy some cupcakes for my birthday." replied shy Emily, "What do you have?"
"Anything you want!" replied Miss Langer.
"Well, some chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate chips and strawberry icing and hundreds and thousands, please." said Emily, extremely fast.
"Of course, follow me into the kitchen." answered Miss Langer. Emily hurried after her, and five minutes later she was hurrying out again holding exactly 69 cupcakes on neatly decorated, purple cupcake holders with aqua swirls.
On the way home Emily puzzled over how Miss Langer baked so fast. The next morning she went back and spent the whole day at the cake shop with miss Langer. She did this every day and at the end Miss Langer told her that she was a magic cake baker. When Emily got home she told her parents. All they did was smile, “maybe they knew all along .” Emily thought to herself, and skipped up to bed.
From then on Emily would go to the cake shop every day.
