Chapter 948: Cake Business
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The children swarmed around Su Li, their laughter echoing in the garden, while the parents gravitated toward Gu Zi.
Most of the attendees were mothers—genteel women who found camaraderie in these gatherings.
Earlier, Huang Fei’s snide remarks had lowered their expectations of Gu Zi’s homemade cake. But as soon as they saw it, their skepticism gave way to awe.
“Who would’ve thought someone as young as you could do it all?” one of the women marveled, her eyes fixed on the elegant cake. “The design alone is stunning. I wonder how it tastes.”
Gu Zi, ever gracious, smiled and gestured toward the housekeeper. “Please bring out the sample cakes.”
Moments later, two small cakes were placed on a tray and carried out for everyone to see.
Each cake was crafted into a heart shape, with one half coated in smooth, white cream and the other glazed with glossy blueberry jam. The rich, buttery aroma mingled with the tart sweetness of the jam, filling the air.
“These are made from leftover batter,” Gu Zi explained modestly. “I thought it’d be nice for everyone to have a taste before the main event. Once we finish singing happy birthday to my son, you can enjoy the big cake. For now, let’s give these a try.”
As the housekeeper handed out small spoons, one of the mothers beamed. “Su Li’s mom, this is the most delightful gathering I’ve attended. Thank you for going through so much trouble—it’s truly appreciated.”
The other women chimed in with their gratitude.
Hosting a child’s birthday party was one thing, but Gu Zi had elevated the event into a refined affair. From the intricate cake to the thoughtful décor, it was clear she’d invested her heart into the celebration.
