Cake: the heartwrenching story of one piece's fate

Malachi wasn't feeling well for his birthday dinner last night. He cried nearly all the way through the meal, and would only eat a few bites of everything. (And it was all his favorite foods: 3-bean chili with cheese and cilantro, artichoke dip, and homemade bread.) It was very sad.

Luckily, he was able to eat the same meal again today for lunch, and this time he devoured it with great gusto. He also managed to down an entire piece of the birthday cake Grandma made him.
