Once upon a time, there lived a young man who fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the village. He thought of her night and day, and he could neither work nor eat or sleep. Her name was Elise. Of course, she didn’t even know he existed.

So the young man, whose name was Paul, went to ask advise from the village witch, an old woman that lived at the edge of the forest. Paul offered her one of his best hens and told her:

“Oh, wise one, you must help me! Since I first laid my eyes on Elise, my life has been ruined! I cannot work, for I think of her white, soft hands... I cannot eat, for I long for her rose red lips... I cannot sleep, for I dream of her warm, sweet body... Tell me what to do or else I am a lost man!”

The witch, who, by the way, had heard the same speech countless times, answered:

“Since it is her hands, her lips and her body that you crave for I think I have something here just for you...” Then she reached on one of the shelves, took a small vial and gave it to Paul, saying:
“Here’s what you have to do. You must bake a cake in the form of the woman you love. Use white flour, cinnamon, clover and nutmeg and put a rose petal where the lips should be. Then, when it is done, sprinkle with this elixir its hands, its body and its rose petal mouth and the one you want will be yours.”

Paul was very happy, so he ran to his house and immediately set up making the cake. He used flour white as her hands, and dark cinnamon as her mouth and sweet clover and spicy nutmeg and he put a rose petal where her lips should be. When it was all well done, he took it out of the oven, put it on the kitchen table, and sprinkled it with the elixir. Then he sat next to it and waited.

It so happened that the lady of his heart had gone out for a walk that very day. And it so happened that she crossed the street behind his house at the exact moment when he was sprinkling the sweet with the elixir. Suddenly Elise smelled a wonderful fragrance of cinnamon, and clover and nutmeg and of something else she had never smelled before. Curious as she was like all women, she approached Paul’s house and peeked inside the kitchen window.

Meanwhile Paul was getting very hungry indeed! And that cake smelled so delicious! Paul reached with his hand and took a small piece off the fingers... and Elise outside the window felt a wonderful tinkling sensation at her hand! Then Paul took a bite off the breasts and Elise felt a sensual warmth travelling through her entire body. Paul continued to taste and nibble the cake and Elise was experiencing a sensation so erotic as she had never knew before (not that she had that many experiences anyway!) Finally, Paul leaned over and bit off the rose petal mouth and at that exact moment Elise knocked on his door.

Well, you can all well imagine what happened next. All I’m going to say is that they never quite got to finish that cake!
