Types of Love: Baking the Perfect Love Cake

Love, like baking, is all about the finest ingredients in the proper proportions. Too much of one, too little of another, and the balance is lost. To craft the nine love cakes, we gather the three essential ingredients:

  • Intimacy 🍯 – X cups of deep connection and understanding
  • Passion 🔥 – X tablespoons of fiery attraction and excitement
  • Commitment đź’Ť – X cup of unwavering devotion and trust

Each cake is a unique blend of these ingredients—some light and fleeting, others rich and everlasting. With careful mixing, patient baking, and a sprinkle of magic, let’s create the sweetest, most meaningful cakes of love.

Alright! If love were a bakery, here’s how the nine love cakes would turn out, using different combinations of intimacy, Passion, and Commitment:

Now, let’s get baking! 🍰💕

  1. The Fling (Passion only) is a fiery, exciting cupcake with a burst of heat that melts quickly. Think chili chocolate.
  2. The Best Friend Cake AKA the Bestie (Intimacy only) – A warm, comforting cake like a slice of soft banana bread—familiar but without romantic sparks.
  3. The Empty Marriage of Non-love (Commitment only) – A plain, dry biscuit that lasts forever but lacks sweetness and excitement.
  4. Romantic Love (Intimacy + Passion) – A rich red velvet cake, velvety smooth and deeply satisfying, but might lack stability.
  5. Companionate Love (Intimacy + Commitment) – A wholesome carrot cake, full of warmth and care, built to last.
  6. Fatuous Love (Passion + Commitment) – A flashy wedding cake that looks incredible but might be missing real substance inside.
  7. Consummate Love (Intimacy + Passion + Commitment) – The ultimate layered chocolate ganache cake—deep, sweet, lasting, and absolutely irresistible.
  8. Infatuation (Passion alone, but fleeting) – A soufflé—puffs up beautifully but collapses fast.
  9. The Love Mirage (Commitment + Passion but no Intimacy) – A candy-coated cake with a hollow center. It looks like love but lacks a deep connection.
