To: Sugar High Bakery From: Khan, Ruhaba Oct. 28, 2016 Dear favorite baker, That 6-inch vanilla-caramel cake with its black currant jam center is the most delicious thing I have eaten in all my life. I would like to order a regular-size, 12-inch cake of any flavor of your imagination to be delivered to my home on the night of the election. Something tells me my nephew and I are going to need some comfort. With deep appreciation for your craft, Ruhaba.
