I kind of fell in love with the name of this poke cake. I mean seriously, who doesn’t find Grasshopper Poke Cake cute? I have a bit of an experience with this cake concerning the twins. I always remember all of the cakes my mother used to always bake. If I don’t remember eating it, it means it’s not one of those cakes that’s usually baked by my mother. I remember most of her fruit pies and cakes, but I never remember eating a lot of mint chocolate cake. Maybe because she knew we weren’t so fond of the combination. However, that changed a little now that I have grown already. While I am still not too fond of this combination, I have learned to tolerate it and eat it. I even learned to make desserts with that combination because some of my friends loved it.
One time, I was making this cake to bring over to a potluck my friends had organized. They asked my to bring this type of cake because they will bring my favorite type of cake. It’s a fair trade among friends. While I was making this, my twins were at the table right in front of me. They got curious and decided to watch me while abandoning their crayons and papers. They were being quiet about it too, which was a first. When they asked what the cake was, I told them it was a grasshopper poke cake. After that, they returned to their seats and stopped watching me. It was only later when I decided to serve them a small piece each that I learned how my words affected them. Yes, they refused to eat “anything with grasshoppers”. They had missed one heck of a good dessert that day.
