Initial D-S

…with a S for sugar.

I have been dabbling a bit with the idea of a dessert shop as some of you might know if you are a close friend and I was not embarassed to let you know that I love making and eating sweet stuff. Annnnd, at the same time, I was thinking about my other two passions, cars/driving and animes/manga. Combining those last two interests together usually brings forth the well-known anime Initial D.

If you don’t know about Initial D, then most likely you are not like me and would actually appreciate a true and proper storyline in any animated series instead of talk and action surrounding the topic of driving, (illegal) racing and cars. For those uninitiated with this series, the protagonist, Takumi,  is the son of a local tofu makerwho delivers tofu for his father across the peak of mountains Akina. After years of delivering the tofu, he realises that he is a natural at a form of racing called drifting. Oh did I mention that he makes tackling 100+ S-bends in a row look as easy as tackling an innocent cute bunny?

Actually, I’d say tackling an innocent cute bunny would be harder. Dang conscience!

Now, to my main point. Does the idea of a wild young boy driving his rusty old screaming Camry through the Mount Akina (or Sydney streets) to deliver handcrafted sugary and sweet desserts sound… more inspiring? At least a bit more interesting then tofu delivery? Just a biiiit more? Well I certainly do!

No matter. If spinach gave Popeye brawn and tofu gave Takumi speed (and no sense of life and death), then desserts and sugar will give me both brain and a sweet-tooth…and eventually a large medical bill.

So, what do YOU think about a delivery service for handcrafted desserts? They have them for pizza and the desserts that pizza-makers sell with them so why not desserts by themselves? They even deliver fresh dairy milk to your door and even dieting pre-made food, so why not something to tickle your taste buds?
