"Write something so sweet, it makes your teeth hurt."
______________________________________________
This is again a prompt that is a little difficult, for I am not sure as to whether I have to write something so mushy and sweet (like a 'sugary, dripping with treacle, oozing with honey' romance,) or do I write about sweets. I mulled over it and decided to go for the literal or rather in this case a oblique interpretation and decided to write about desserts. This was also not easy for I do not have much of a sweet tooth. I do enjoy eating sweets, but in limited quantities and in fact, if I have a couple of them, I would eat something spicy to wash out the lingering sweet aftertaste.
Yet, here I am, having to write about something so sweet that it hurts, so I think and decide to be literal here.
My choice - the ice cream cakes made by cream stone (icecream concepts) – more specifically, the Fererro Rocher cake is a delectable concoction of dark, rich moist chocolate cake; three layers of it sandwiched with Fererro Rocher icecream, covered with chocolate fudge and topped by three Fererro Rocher chocolates.
An overload of chocolate, right?
But then that is exactly what makes this dessert so sweet that it hurts, literally, for you have to eat it frozen so the cold does cause your teeth and mouth to freeze. The trick is to slice a big chunk of the cake (the largest you could manage to eat in one sitting) and leave it outside for around ten to fifteen minutes so that it is easy to eat; or just microwave it for ten seconds. It is no longer freezing and there is no change in taste. It is softer and creamier and just wonderful to dig into.
It is enough to sent you into chocolate heavens, and for those who love cakes and ice creams, it is a dream come true, a dream so sweet that it would hurt your teeth.

cream stone (icecream concepts) - that is the way the brand name is written, without any capitals hence is used in the same fashion. It is not a grammatical error.
