 Straight-From-The-Camera with the exception of Cropped, Sharpened Twice, Resized & Saved for Web. :)
Daddy (me) wanted to teach Daughter to bake a nice surprise for Mommy. So, I got all the ingredients together and called Joy (age-3). She helped me put everything in the bowl, but ran away when I mentioned that I was about to turn on the "noise." Anyway, Mommy was pleased with the flavor & the expression of LOVE, and a good time was had by all.
Now, when I placed the completed cake on the rack to cool, I had an idea for this Challenge. It might look pretty cool if I placed a tea light in the middle of this bundt version of a pound cake, light it, and let that be my only light source. So, that's what I did! :)

Great title! I might have used slightly less exposure for more detail at the center of the cake.
