"Wow, this is one big cake," chuckled Ivan, as he and Edward carefully pulled out the huge rectangular dark chocolate cake out of its box.
"Coming through, hope this thing fits on the coffee table," said Edward, as he and Ivan carefully carried it to the living room.
"Just about fits," remarked Ivan as they set it down.
"Coming with the candles," said Ruth, and she stuck eleven birthday candles into the top of the cake, and lit them.
"OK, everyone, let's sing," said Adelaide, and she led the party in the traditional Happy Birthday song.
"Make a wish," said Ivan, as Mikaela blew out the candles, and cut the cake.
"Ms. Hirschfield, can you distribute it?" asked Mikaela, after she had cut out the first slice.
"Sure," said Ruth, and quickly cut slices out of the cake, and put them on small plates.
"Mmm, Mikaela. This cake is divine!" said Adelaide, tasting the rich and decadent chocolate mousse and moist sponge.
