Funfetti Cake

The word “food” in general is defined by dictionary.com as “any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy, promote growth, etc.” However, to me any many others, food is so much more than that. Food is way to have an excuse to meet with someone or have then over for dinner. It is a way to share emotions, whether they be friendly or happy. The most recent food I have made is a funfetti cake for my friend’s surprise birthday party at the Blueberry Hill restaurant in University City. If you have ever eaten a funfetti cake, you would know that it is extremely fun to eat and is loaded with bright and crazy colors. One blogger on Sazze.com exclaims, "nothing screams fun quite like Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix!". This cake represents my friend more than any other cake because she too is crazy and fun to be around. The cake I made for her was more than a sweet treat for the guests of the party but was also a gesture from me to her about our long friendship that has been strong forever. The cake displayed her favorite saying with which I drew on the cake by hand with icing, not an easy task. The best part was that the cake did not have to be perfect for her because I knew that she would love it either way and she would know that I spent a long time preparing the party and the perfect cake for her special day.
The recipe for the funfetti cake is here:
- 1 box of Pillsbury funfetti cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- ½ cup water

Blueberry Hill is one of the most well-know musical bars in St. Louis. This St. Louis landmark was opened September 8, 1972. Since then it has hosted many of the world’s greatest artists such as Chuck Berry who still plays there once a month. Blueberry Hill is also famous for their unbelievable hamburgers and veggie burgers. One review by Frommer states, "the hamburgers are among the best in town." There is never a night where they do not sell out of their burgers. While there for my friend’s party, I noticed many of the people around me having the veggie burger. Though I am not a vegetarian, I opted to try the veggie burger because it is said to be one of the best. When I first tasted the veggie burger, I was unsure of its quality. Though, soon I found myself wanting another bite. The atmosphere of the restaurant was extremely welcoming and I saw many people having a great time with people they had just met. Blueberry Hill is another one of the many ways my friend and I look forward to meeting each other while enjoying a meal together. Her cake and the dinner at Blueberry Hill set the stage for the most amazing and fun party I could ever have planned for my friend.
