Now that I'm leaving my neighborhood is Astoria, though, I'm inclined to partake of all the local delicacies I will no longer have access to in a month. Which brings me to the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. This thing is sick. It's moist and delicious, and when I bring it to parties it's gone in seconds.
I definitely wanted to revisit this delightful treat one last time, but I could hardly justify buying myself a cake, even a small one. As I passed by this afternoon, lamenting that I had no one to share a cake with, what appeared in the window? Not a cake, but a cupcake! A red velvet with cream cheese frosting cupcake.
It was so delicious it's making me rethink my decision to move out of state.

I can relate to the melancholy excitement of moving away from a place you feel like you only just started to get to know, let alone call home.
The pastry elation is a bit more of a stretch for me, though i've been known to smile hard for a fine magic brownie from time to time.
As LA moves out of NY back home, i say with a tip of the hat, good luck with the move — and always revel in the moment, regardless if it's covered in frosting or not. No one knows how many more moments, or sprinkles, you have left.
