But I'm not here to geek out about my sickness. I'm here to talk about my all-time favorite junk food.
The Zebra Cake.
What? Did angels just sing?
For those of you who live under a rock, zebra cakes are the greatest Little Debbie snack ever made. A zebra cake is made up of two moist hexagon shaped white cakes, with a sweet and smooth white frosting layered between, covered in a melt in your mouth vanilla frosting and striped lightly with milk chocolate.
These cakes are my favorite thing to hoard. When I treat myself to a box, which isn't often, I hide them around my room, so that no one knows I have the coveted snack. I close my door and bundle myself up in bed, nibbling the cake while I read or watch something on my computer. I take small bites, so that I may enjoy the pure and perfect sweetness slowly and for a longer period of time.
People love them so much, they make them ART.
The other day, I discovered that the corner store between Joshua's and my apartment sells zebra cakes by the cake. For fifty cents you can get one, slightly larger than normal, perfect zebra cake. I bought one and tucked it into my pocket. As soon as I left the store, I ripped open that plastic wrapping and took a bite of the piece of heaven in my hand. It had been a while since my last cake.
As I walked to Joshua's, I savored the creamy frosting, the perfectly baked cakes and the almost flaky icing. Each bite washed through my mouth in a whirlwind of pleasure, and I even found myself moaning out loud. I finished the cake before I made it to Joshua's, for fear of his jealousy. (I later learned he does not like them. HA!)
So, since I have been feeling ultra lousy the last couple of days, I think I may treat myself to a zebra cake today. You should too.
And God said, on the 8th day, let there be Zebra Cakes!

Hahah!!
Zebra Cakes are awesome. I like when they come out with the holiday-themed ones (esp. the Christmas Trees!!!!)
I just had what I think is one of the above-mentioned holiday-themed ones - for Valentine's Day. Em, if you go to my lj you will see the picture of them. Heart shaped cakes with a layer of frosting inside, and covered in pink frosting with white stripes. It was delicious. BUT I will never let go of my belief that the Little Debbie Oatmeal cookies are the best Little Debbies EVER. We can take a poll some other time. (Me and Jason just stocked up the other week cause they were 10 for $10! score!) I had to get him his own box so he wouldn't touch mine...
