Pretender on a Pretend Throne


Maraschino Cherry on Whipped Topping, Dillsboro, North Carolina, USA
The cherry and whipped topping of the dessert above are like a cubic zirconia set in gold-plated nickel. The cherry is not a real Dalmatian marasca nor is the whipped topping real cream. In America, we now prefer processed and fake over the real deal. While we try our best to avoid processed food, sometimes we give in. Like costume jewelry, the cherry and topping looked terrific!
