The Threshold of Temptation

"It's Xinxin's turn now!" Xiao Lan grinned. Her friend's two-layer cake was making her tummy grumble and her mouth salivate just from the look of it. Lu Xinyi's cake was a smooth, clean, and professional-looking layer cake that would surely impress anyone who could see it.

There was something very comforting about seeing Lu Xinyi's perfectly smooth buttercream frosting. It also put her cake above the others that lack professional smoothness and evenness in their frostings.

For someone who had been targeted for sabotage, Lu Xinyi was relaxed and serene. There was no trace of panic or unease on her voice. Was she able to conquer the issues of her devil's food cake?

"Let me see what you have here."

Han Zhiling took the honor of cutting Lu Xinyi's cake. With its white buttercream frosting, it would take one's undivided attention and tempt one to take a bite of it. The judges noticed the clean and even frosting inside once it was cut.
