Parallel Lives: Dwayne, Whip Up a Cake, Would Ya?

"Hey, Mom. You won't believe the morning I've had. So, I went to that local bakery, you know the one I always rave about? Yeah, where Dwayne Johnson works. Seriously, that guy is like a rockstar in the pastry world. He was wearing his signature sunglasses again, rain or shine, the man's too cool for school.

Anyway, today he's outdone himself. He's got this meringue pie that's to die for. And get this—it's discounted up to 10% off because it's his birthday! Can you believe that? I bought one for me and one for my co-workers to share!

Oh, and I couldn't resist grabbing one of his triple chocolate cakes. It's practically sinful, but totally worth it. He also had a lemon blueberry layered cake that looked divine."
