PROCESS ESSAY

Achieving diabetic heaven is an inspiration in itself. My favorite in particular is the rich and creamy, strawberry shortcake. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to accomplish this task. All you need is an imagination and some simple ingredients. The ingredients include: Dunken Hines Moisture deluxe strawberry cake mix, French vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.

First, you make the strawberry cake mix by adding 3 beaten eggs,one and one-third cups of water, and one-half cup of oil, as directed on the package. Continue whipping the mixture clock-wise until it is smooth, creamy, and thick. Take two eight-inch round pans and grease them by spreading butter all around. Pour the creamy cake mix in both greased pans. Bake for about 25 minutes, under 450 degrees of heat.

While waiting for the cake to bake, take a bowl of fresh, juicy, fleshy, red strawberries. Slice the strawberries in desired shapes and sizes, allowing the juice to ooze out. Then marinate in 4 tablespoon of sweet sugar and thick strawberry syrup. Refrigerate. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes or longer. The cake should come out perfectly round from the pan, leaving no reamins behind. Take one of the strawberry cake and shower it with the fresh, marinated strawberries from the refrigerator. Top with generous amounts of the rich and creamy French vanilla ice cream. Then top it with the other strawberry cake. Once again, shower the cake with more of the fresh, red strawberries. The finest food product known in the universe: whipped cream. A body dessert topping. A fluffy, creamy whip that will envelope you body with sheer delight. Make body designs or pile it high. Its use is limited only by your creativity. Let your imagination run wild!

This dessert will make your taste buds go crazy. First, experience the moistness of the strawberry cake layers. The two layers represents the perfect unification and harmony of two forces. It is the two layers combining as one. It is perfectly made for each other. You then savor the creamy French vanilla ice cream. The oozing ice cream in the between the layers, represents a bond between the forces. The bond is equally shared by both parties. It is what holds them together. Strawberries topped with whipped cream is divine. Strawberry is a very sensual fruit. On the other hand, whipped cream represents the cream of life. It includes the passion, the desire, the emotions, the temptation, and the revelry. However, it is impossible for one to exist without the other. Each represents a different entity which would not be complete without the other.
