Cake fifteen

Early Autumn Cheesecake

Fruitcakes are mostly seasonal even though we may find nearly all fruits the whole year round. Personally I don’t like eating oranges in the middle of the Summer or peaches in Winter, it might be a matter of habit but I think it’s more a matter of colours and psychological influence. Bright colours like the red of strawberries, the yellow of peaches and apricots, the purple of plums or of wild berries are more Summer colours, or colours we associate with warm countries. We also use them for clothes or home accessories in the warm season. Then suddenly when the colder months come, we prefer paler colours or all the shades of orange; so here come grapes at the end of the Summer, pears, persimmons and finally oranges.

So this cake sounds for me like the end of the Summer, when days are still warm but much shorter and pave the way to Autumn: yellow for the grapes, pale brown for the meringue and white for the cheese. 

Do I have overanalyzed it all? Maybe there’s nothing more to intend than what it actually is!

Song: A glass onion

Do we always have to look for deeper messages, can’t we simply accept reality as it is?
