I used two layer of kadayıf which represent me and your daughter. At first the middle of two layer is empty. They are apart from each other like us because of difference of our social classes. The only thing that can bring us together is our warm love. I thought cheese could fill this empty and it could stick two layer when the cheese was melted. I prepared a special hot sherbet to melt it. This sherbet represents you, your majesty. It`s hot because of your possible anger towards my love, it`s sweet because of your deep affection towards your daughter. This dessert can`t make without sherbet and this love can`t continue without your majesty`s approval.” said.
