⊹ ࣪ ˖₊˚⊹⋆ Birthday Cake! (Hector Fort.)

⚽

You had always enjoyed making Hector smile. As his 18th birthday approached, you wanted to make it unforgettable.

You remembered a conversation from his childhood when Hector had casually mentioned that his favorite cake was red velvet—a treat he hadn’t had in years.

Inspired, you decided to bake him a red velvet cake and present it to him at his family’s birthday party.

The night before his birthday, you set to work with a blend of excitement and nervousness.

Red velvet cake, while classic, had a reputation for being finicky.

After scouring through numerous recipes, you selected one that seemed reliable and straightforward. Armed with a detailed list, you headed to the grocery store.

Navigating the aisles, you collected flour, cocoa powder, buttermilk, eggs, and a vibrant red food coloring.

You also picked up a few decorative items to make the cake look as good as it would taste. With your ingredients in tow, you hurried home, eager to get started.

In the quiet of your kitchen, you began the baking process. First, you sifted together the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. The mixture was a rich, dark brown that promised a decadent cake.

You combined buttermilk, eggs, and a generous amount of red food coloring, creating a batter that was a stunning shade of red. The cake would not only taste great but look festive as well.

After pouring the batter into two round cake pans, you placed them in the oven and set the timer. The aroma of baking cake soon filled your kitchen, blending with the sweet scent of vanilla as you whipped up the cream cheese frosting.

The frosting came together perfectly—light, fluffy, and with just the right amount of sweetness.

When the cakes were done and had cooled, you carefully leveled them and began frosting. You spread a layer of cream cheese frosting between the cake layers, then coated the entire cake with a smooth layer of frosting.

To add a touch of elegance, you used a spatula to create decorative swirls and sprinkled some cake crumbs on top.

You finished late that night, exhausted but pleased. The cake was wrapped carefully and placed in the fridge to stay fresh.

The next morning, you woke up early, excitement bubbling inside you. You prepared a small gift and a heartfelt birthday card, then packed the cake into a sturdy box. You wanted it to be a perfect surprise at Hector’s family party.

Arriving at Hector’s house, you felt a mix of nerves and anticipation. Hector’s family was known for their warm hospitality, and you hoped the cake would add a special touch to his birthday celebrations.

You were greeted at the door by Hector’s parents, who welcomed you with smiles and friendly chatter.

“¡Feliz cumpleaños, mi amor!” (Happy birthday, my love!) you called out as you entered the living room, holding the cake box. Hector’s eyes widened as he saw you approach with the box.

“You didn’t have to bring anything,” Hector said, though his excitement was evident.

“I wanted to,” you replied, smiling.

“I remember you mentioned how much you loved red velvet cake when you were younger. I thought it would be a great surprise for your 18th birthday.”

Hector’s face lit up with genuine joy. His parents gathered around as you carefully unpacked the cake. The red velvet cake looked even more impressive under the party lights, its vibrant color and elegant frosting making it the centerpiece of the dessert table.

“Esto es increíble,” (This is incredible) Hector said, his voice filled with wonder as he took in the cake.

“I haven’t had red velvet cake in years. Thank you so much for this.”

His parents looked at the cake with curiosity and admiration.

“It looks beautiful,” Hector’s mother said, reaching out to admire the decoration.

“Se ve precioso, y estoy seguro de que también sabe increíble."

(It looks beautiful, and I’m sure it tastes amazing too.)

With everyone gathered around, Hector cut the first slice and served it. The room was filled with delighted murmurs as his family tasted the cake.

Each bite seemed to transport Hector back to his childhood, and you could see the nostalgia and pleasure in his eyes.

“This cake is amazing,” Hector said, taking another bite.

“It tastes just like I remember.”

You spent the afternoon with Hector and his family, enjoying the cake and celebrating his milestone birthday. As you all laughed, talked, and shared stories, you felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

The cake wasn’t just a dessert; it was a symbol of your care and affection for Hector, a gesture that made his 18th birthday memorable.

As the party wound down and the guests began to leave, Hector pulled you aside.

“Thank you,” he said softly, his eyes reflecting the warmth of the day.

“This has been the best birthday I’ve had in a long time.”

You smiled, feeling a rush of happiness. You knew that this birthday would be one Hector would remember fondly for years to come.

The day had been a success, filled with love, joy, and the sweet taste of red velvet cake.
