3. Angel Food Cake
Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you
need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature
at times.
Brownies
You are adventurous, love new ideas, are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When
tempers flare up, you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of
humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
Lemon Meringue Pie
Smooth, sexy and articulate with your hands, you are an excellent after- dinner speaker and a good
teacher. But don’t try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, but you
have many friends.
Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Icing
Fun-loving, sassy, humorous. Not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lack motivation.
Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in
making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
4. Strawberry Short Cake
Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people and can be counted on in a pinch. You tend
to melt. You can be overly emotional and annoying at times.
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing
Sexy, always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious and passionate. You
have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for
anything average in life. Love to laugh.
Ice Cream
You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball or soccer. If you could, you would like to
participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don’t like to give up the remote control. You tend to
be self centered and high maintenance.
Carrot Cake
You are a very fun loving person, who like to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out
with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal
friends.
