My Lady Chef novel Chapter 42

Belmont's POV:

I was surprised as well.

Chef Pepin had a hard time but somehow Lady Alaina did more than what was asked of her.

One cheesecake was a golden yellow color with a light brown top but it was dusted with some sort of sugar frost and some whipped cream and strawberries while the other one was a white frosted cake with shaved cheese on top and some cute rosettes decorating the top and bottom edges.

The smell was not the usual dense rich smell of cheesecake but it smelled good nonetheless.

Soon two slices were served for each of us and I saw how Ezran's face had a weird stunned look before he ate the first cake which jiggled like it was...

"What the? This cake is moving! How is this possible?" My father was dumbfounded as he ate it and his eyes sparkled before he smiled like a child. "Such an airy feeling..."

Ezran was also digging into the cake so I took a huge bit and nearly bite my tongue at how the creamy cheese taste was light and fluffy in my mouth as I chewed till it disperses without a hint of heaviness I usually get.

I had always dreamed of a cheesecake that might taste light as air but just as delicious. To think that Ezran's wife made something impossible possible.

Amazing...

I saw my father and the delegates eating the first cake with a smile on their faces before they went for the second cake.

And so did I.

The rich taste of the buttercream was the first thing I tasted followed by the faint orange sponge cake which tasted as soft as a cloud then I was hot by the rich salty cheese shavings that somehow harmonized with the sweet airy buttercream.

Two different cheesecakes and yet they had their own charms and flavor.

Addicting! Incredible!

These desserts are unlike anything I have ever tasted!

"You there!" My father motioned for the female server to come to him. "Call Chef Pepin here immediately!"

The Royal Chef came in a few minutes later and was nervous as he bowed before us.

"Did you make these new cakes Chef?" My father's questions were frantic which caused the chef to tremble in fright.

He must be thinking that my father was displeased with the dessert from the loud way he was speaking.

"Your Majesty. Someone else took control of the desserts today! There was an accident involving my cheesecake and I had no choice! Punish them sire, not me!"

At this news, Ezran's eyes sparked with comprehension and I stood up.

If the Duke finds out that his wife meddled with the food and my father takes an interest in her.

There will be a bloodbath. Time for some damage control.

"Father, the fault is mine. I brought a special chef over to make cakes for us in honor of our two esteemed guests from the Exotic Lands. This esteemed cake maker agreed to bake these cakes on grounds that I do not reveal his/ her identity." I bowed to my king.

"I...see." the disappointment in his Leone eyes was evident as he dismissed Chef Pepin who disappeared into the kitchen. "Well reward this special cake maker well as I am greatly pleased with the confections.

"You-your Majesty? The esteemed cake maker has one last gift for you and your important guests...." the young cook was pushing a cart with covered trays.

There was more?
