\u201cI don\u2019t think I can carry on with you if we keep on fighting for everything\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

His words were eating me alive and to be honest I was scared. I waited my whole life for true love and now that I had it, I wanted it to last forever. Varun & I have been in a relationship for 5 years now. 3 years live-in and 2 years long distance as he moved to Australia on a work assignment. I am a full-time engineer and have odd working hours and due to the time difference, it becomes difficult sometimes to even have a decent conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

My constant fear of him falling in love with someone else in Australia also keeps me awake. Not that I don\u2019t trust him but you know how it is these days. I also want to apologize to him for my recent actions so that he knows that I did not mean those mean things I said. I started thinking as to what could make him happy & forgive me. And, I did not want to send a cliched \u2018I am sorry\u2019 card or a bouquet of flowers. <\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted something that could make him see that I love him. And then it clicked! Once Varun had told me that apart from me, cakes made him happy! Yes, you read it right! The guy is crazy for cakes<\/a> and can eat any amount without stopping. Now since I can\u2019t go there in a day, I thought of surprising him by sending him a cake baked by me. (I was in my I-am-a-good-chef-phase of life).<\/span><\/p>\n

Varun is extremely picky when it comes to cakes and his favorite flavor is Tiramisu. Did you know that Tiramisu is an Italian word which means \u2018cheer me up\u2019? So I thought the Italian Gods were on my side. It is a coffee flavored dessert and it is not easy to make. I googled, I Youtubed, I spent hours trying to figure out a simple and easy to make Tiramisu (tih-ruh-mee-SOO) cake recipe but I failed. Then, I finally agreed to send him the cake online to Australia<\/a>. I checked with my local courier company but they said they won\u2019t deliver perishable goods. And moreover if they do they were charging me a fortune for it and lead time was 7 days. I wanted to surprise him now and not when sorry lost its meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n

While I was researching online I came across a lot of websites that were delivering cakes to Sydney. But Tiramisu was not available with some of them. Some were delivering it in 3 days and were charging up to 5k for it. (This sorry was going to cost me a lot) Some had bad reviews and some just extremely bad images that it made me doubt the quality. Then I came across<\/span> classic tiramisu cake<\/span><\/a> by Ferns N Petals. It just ticked all the boxes for me. They were delivering it the next day in Sydney and the price was in my budget. I filled in the details and you also have an option to add a free message card along with the cake. <\/span><\/p>\n

I poured my heart out in 250 characters (with spaces). The best part is that Ferns N Petals has secure payment options so I was not apprehensive to add my card details. I quickly placed the order and got a confirmation about the same.\u00a0<\/span>It was as smooth as cutting through a slice of cake!\u00a0<\/span>All I hope is that Varun loves my surprise and I get the call soon that. \u201cHey, Babe! I love the cake and I Love you. It\u2019s all good!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
