Salazar bounced with excitement as he arrived at his grandparents' cozy cottage. Grandma greeted him with a warm hug, her glasses sliding down her nose as she smiled. "We're going to make the most wonderful cake for your parents today!" she exclaimed. Grandpa adjusted his farm hat and winked at Salazar, "It'll be our special secret."

Grandma spread out recipe books while Salazar peered curiously at each page. "Your mummy loves strawberries, and daddy adores chocolate," Grandpa reminded, stroking his gray whiskers thoughtfully. Salazar's eyes widened with delight as they decided on a strawberry-chocolate marble cake. His tail twitched with anticipation as Grandma gathered measuring cups and bowls.

Flour dusted Salazar's hairless head as he enthusiastically helped mix the batter. Grandpa chuckled when Salazar dipped his paw into the chocolate mixture for a sneaky taste. "Just like your father when he was little," Grandma remarked, adjusting her cozy hat. Salazar beamed proudly as they carefully poured the swirled batter into the cake pan.

When Salazar's parents arrived, their tired faces transformed with joy at the sight of the beautiful cake. "Happy work anniversary!" Salazar exclaimed, bouncing into his mother's flowery dress. Dad loosened his business tie, eyes glistening with happiness at the family gathering. Grandma and Grandpa exchanged satisfied glances as everyone gathered for a slice of love-baked perfection.
