What of the muffin top ? (drabble)

'Carrots ? What about carrots ? Shreddings glazed in crystallised caramel. They'd go well with the cake, complement the texture with a bit of crunch. An evocation of the bigger almond chunks'¦ '
But he's not listening and has already gobbled two of the muffins. Without barely any chewing involved in the process. While he's busy licking his fingers and ogling the remaining cakes, I cannot help wondering if he's tasted any of the lovely flavours I have woven into the sweet batter.
The cardamom. The tonka bean shards. The vanilla. The coarsely ground bitter almonds. The cyanide .

Thank you for introducing me to 'drabble' - this piece was very clever and has inspired me to try something similar. Great sense of humour. Ash19640 :)

Oh, this is fantastic - perfect example of how you don't have to say much to say SO much!
