The plate, small and round,
A clean eggshell white
With delicate swirls of blue
Ornamenting the rim.
The pattern perfectly framed
The dainty pastry
Nestled in the dip of the dish.
Puffed buttery layers
Dusted with a light coating
Of fine powdered sugar.
Cream whipped to a cloud-like consistency
Piled on top.
A fresh sprig of mint
Crowned the confection,
Adding a burst of color.
Nearby, an elegant silver dessert fork
Waited to break the pristine image
With a musical crackling.
