Kane: "This one looks serious."
Emilia: "Rich. Weddings should feel indulgent."
Isadora: "It's heavy. Imagine eating this after dinner."
Mira: "I'd still eat it. Twice."
They laughed, the tension easing.
The third slice was lemon with buttercream.
Emilia: "Fresh. It cuts through sweetness."
Isadora: "I like the sharpness."
Kane: "It's balanced. Not too sweet, not too plain."
Mira: "This feels like spring. It matches you."
Isadora smiled faintly, considering.
The fourth was red velvet.
Emilia: "Beautiful color. It photographs well."
Isadora: "It's popular. Too predictable."
Kane: "Predictable isn't always bad."
Mira: "But you're not predictable. You should choose something that feels like you."
The fifth was coconut cream.
Emilia: "Delicate. Subtle."
Isadora: "It disappears too quickly. No impression."
Kane: "I like it. It's calm."
Mira: "Calm isn't what you want for a wedding cake."
