Chapter 109 - Wedding Cake
"Thank you, Gramps. Grandma must be very beautiful right." Ivy exclaimed.
"How do you know?" Henirich amused.
"Because Grandpa is seeing Grandma in me then of course grandma must be as beautiful as me. Am I right?" Ivy said proudly.
Henirich chuckled seeing her proud expression and admitted "Yes, Yes."
Henirich looked at Gavon and said sternly "Child, take care of her and don't make her cry or else," he left the remaining sentence to Gavon to fill and he is implying the consequences of making her cry.
Gavon didn't feel pressurised but instead replied with a calm tone "I will take care of her. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Good." Henirich nodded his head in approval and left the couple to enjoy their day.
Soon the dance will begin, the bride and groom will dance first. But Ronald walked into the centre of the hall with a glass in his hand. He clangs the glass with a spoon gathering the attention of the crowd towards him.
Ronald is wearing a grey coat with silver buttons, his hair is combed back showing his forehead. He is looking dashing and handsome, every girl in the room got attracted towards him with one glance.
"May I have your attention please," Ronald said, earning all eyes on him.
"Congratulations to the bride and groom. I am very happy for my sister, and my brother-in-law is the luckiest person to get my sister. So, brother-in-law don't try to act smart, she is scarier than you can ever imagine." Ronald said with a scary look causing the people to break into laughter.
Gavon smiled and felt giddy when he heard Ronald addressing him as Brother-in-law. Ivy blushed with embarrassment and glared at Ronald.
Ronald skillfully avoided her gaze and continued "And at the same time, she is the softest hearted and beautiful soul. Please take care of her." his voice became emotional. Ivy eyes also reddened with his words, Gavon squeezed her hand to assure her that she will be fine.
"So on this auspicious occasion, I want to present the most delicious and the sweetest thing in this overall Kingdom. This is especially my sister's creation." Ronald said with a proud expression. Ivy felt embarrassed to say it is her creation because she just made it with her knowledge from the modern world.
"It is called Cake. Please present the Wedding Cake." Ronald clapped and the people in the room also joined him with confusion on their faces.
They never heard about the cake and they all are looking at it with excitement in their eyes, as per their expectations or beyond their expectations two maids pushed the cart inside the hall under everyone eyes,
On the neatly covered table with a white cloth is the three-layered cake prepared by Ivy. Ivy spent her last month preparing this cake, she remembered the recipe but a few things are not available here and she had to check for alternatives. For preparing the cream she struggled a lot to get the proper texture and taste. Her family helped her in getting a few ingredients used in the cake which made her task easy.
The white colour three-layered cake base is decorated with flowers, and in the middle and top of the cake, she puts the roses as she is not able to make the shape of those. She directly used the roses for its decoration.
The delicious cake attracted everyone's interest, even the king and queen. Henirich and other Dalton family members are looking at Ivy proudly and they ate the first successful cake prepared by Ivy and this cake is made by the chef in their mansion.
"WOW, what is it? It looks so delicious."
"Yes, what will it taste like? I am already salivating."
"Why did she place flowers on the cake? Is it edible?"
"Exactly, who will place flowers and grass on the eating things."
Few people showed their enthusiasm and support, whereas few showed their disdain. But the majority of the people are eager to try this new dish.
Thomas, the owner of Blue Plates, was also shocked to see the beautiful item and he was impressed by Aivyn's creativity. He planned to meet Aivyn after marriage to discuss this dish, if she agrees then he will add it to his menu as a dessert.
"This is called Wedding Cake. Ivy planned to introduce this to everyone on her marriage day, cakes can be used on birthdays, wedding days, anniversaries, new starts and any happy occasion. My sister is going to introduce a few more flavours and different items in the near future. Stay Tuned for more updates." Ronald gave a charming smile to the people and he alone made the advertisement for this new invention in the era.
The words Stay Tuned are proposed by Ivy, she asked him to give publicity to this cake and also suggested to strike a cute pose but his smile is enough to capture the people's hearts.
"Without further delay, Let's welcome the bride and groom to cut the cake." Ronald clapped and the crowd followed him.
Ivy was immensely pleased by Ronald's skills, if he was born in the modern era, she would definitely make him a model. He is such a masterpiece, he hosts, acts, and charms people. He has the talent to become a star in the entertainment industry.
Ivy looked at Gavon who was looking at the cake like a child who saw something marvellous in his life and she felt his reaction cute, she cleared her throat and said "My Lord, Let's cut the cake."
Ivy's voice brought him back from the sweet trance of cake and rubbed his nape in embarrassment and scolded himself 'Gavon, What should I have to do with you?'
"Yes," He gave his hand to her and took her to the centre of the hall to cut the cake.
Gavon and Ivy reached towards the cake and their family members surrounded them, everyone looking at the cake with astonishment. They are waiting to taste it, even Gabriel is also looking forward to tasting it.
"Here, Cut the cake." Ronald handed them a small knife the handle is decorated with silk cloth.
Ivy smiled and took the knife. She looked at Gavon and he held her hand gently and carefully like he was handling a glass.
His body got tense to cut the beautiful creation and Ivy sensed his body tense and whispered slowly "Calm Down, My Lord."
Gavon's body stiffened by her words and the proximity they shared, her scent made him relax, Ivy felt amused seeing his reaction and felt happy to bring these kinds of reactions in him.
The audience clapped while Ivy and Gavon sliced the cake, Ivy cut the cake in a triangle shape and lifted it up from the base. She placed the knife aside and took the cake piece.
She turned and looked at Gavon sweetly and offered the cake, his face bloomed with happiness when Ivy offered the cake and also he was going to eat it first, the thought itself made his whole body drenched in joy and bliss.
Gavon opened his mouth slowly and bit the cake, it melted sweetly in his mouth and in an instant his mouth burst into sweetness.
He closed his eyes with pure bliss, the soft cream, the scent, the sweet bread made his mouth water and he felt all the taste buds in his mouth awakened in an instant and burst into sweetness.
The whole audience went crazy seeing his divine expression, they never thought their 'Monster' 'Devil' and whatever the names they gave to him will be this good looking and tempting while eating a simple cake.
Ivy also got tempted seeing his dreamy look and her cheeks turn red, she tugged his shirt causing him to open his eyes.
Ivy stretched her hand to give him the cake so that he would help her and made her eat the cake. But to her shock, a marvellous thing happened. Gavon bent forward and took another bite from the cake and smiled at Ivy with cake in his eyes.
"...."
'Lord, this is unfair' Ivy cried inwardly and whispered "My Lord, you should offer the cake to me. This is the process.. Bride and Groom offer cake to each other."
