Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Bake me a double choc-chip creamy cake
With the centre of melted chocolate
We're not finished yet, we still need to bake
In the mix, put some vanilla droplets

I would like to top it off with some bling
Let's top it off with some golden sprinkles
This cake is going to grow a halo ring
It's taking so long I'm growing wrinkles

Almost finish baking this yummy cake
My mouth is drooling with sugary stuff
It turns out that the cake is burnt, darn sake!
It now looks like a pile of yuck fluff

I'm going to stick with the woollies brand
Even if their cheap cakes are very bland
