“We’ll all have an ice-cream cake to celebrate! Except for we don’t have a freezer!”

“I like ice cream with my cake. But in moderation, and not like five gallons with a cupcake. For that much ice cream, I’d need at least two cupcakes.”

“Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no one's ever eaten before? Like chicken and telepone ice cream? Green mouse ice cream was the worst. I didn't like that at all.”

“It's the big kids who get everything! They push you out of line at the show... They grab all the cake and ice cream at parties...""I guess that's just the way life is...""In the animal kingdom, we call it, 'survival of the fattest'!”

“A cake for all is not a celebration of one. Cupcakes are the ultimate birthday cake.”

“We’ll meet again in Lvov, my love and I…” Tatiana hums, eating her ice cream, in our Leningrad, in jasmine June, near Fontanka, the Neva, the Summer Garden, where we are forever young.”
