Every Occasion

"They baked cakes to welcome the first firefly of the season, and cakes to commiserate incurable hiccups. Cakes for well-shaped clouds, cakes for bad hair days, and cakes only to be eaten barefoot in the grass." -Beyond the Laughing Sky by Michelle Cuevas

Orange Peel

"I sit on the floor peeling about one hundred chinas, the sweetest oranges ever, to make orange juice. By the time I am finished I am surrounded by a pyramid of orange peel that creeps around me in circles up to my neck." -The Color of My Words by Lynn Joseph

Ice Cream Shop

"The frozen air felt good on his skin. It was like getting dunked in a vat of just-melted ice cream. And the smells - mmmmmm. A mix of vanilla, chocolate, coconut, caramel, and bubblegum. He looked at the tubs of ice cream, all in a row, carefully protected behind a pane of glass. The money in his pocket tingled." -The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

Cream Filling

"Gina kept pulling apart her Oreos, scooping the filling out with her pinkie fingernail, licking the chocolate shells, and clumping them in a pile. It looked nasty, but I have to admit I prefer the cream to those dry Frisbees too." -Kimchi & Calamari by Rose Kent
