You are in a boutique hotel in Milan, the first morning at breakfast. You encounter a bountiful buffet, of which the star is a cake. An almond cake, with a cardamom icing and a nutmeg crema. This cake will sustain you all day. You eat three pieces and don't even care who sees you.
Lira is the cake.
It's a delicious gourmand, all marzipan and spice. It'll last well into tomorrow on just a spritz or two. Overall, excellent.
