Apple Cakes Quotes

“I would be over the moon if you'd make me one of your famous apple cakes."
Portia stared at the ingredients her sister had lined up with perfect precision on the scratched countertop. Apples. Butter. Brown sugar.
Cordelia cocked her head. "What is it?"

She had thrown every bit of food in the apartment away, and it still hadn't helped.
"I don't believe you," Cordelia said. "You want to bake like nobody's business. I can see it in your eyes.”
