["When I was a kid, I would bake a cake for my dad's birthday and take it to his job at the fire station."]
That's incredibly sweet. That's like the best birthday gift too, since it probably tasted really good, but then showed your time and effort all in one. I heard once to make them taste like a professional made it, you just add like extra eggs and sugar and butter or something
Whenever it's my dad's birthday, I reminisce about my childhood and baking him a birthday cake and taking it to his job at the fire station.
