#I make my cakes from scratch

[megumiluvv]

Choso is covered in flour. You’re on the floor, crying from laughter.

“Choso! You- hahaha! You can’t plop it!” You cackle.

Choso just sighs and wipes his face off, retrying the scoop of flour. He’s trying to learn how to bake, but he wants to do it all himself while you teach him, which is proving to be… a bit difficult.

You get up from the floor and move behind him, reaching around his large frame and guiding his hands. Choso instantly gets shy, but you don’t notice, instead you continue to help him make the cake from scratch.

“Like this…” you mumble, helping him dump the flour and use the whisk to mix the batter.

Choso watches your hand, the difference in your hands catching his eye. Your hands are so small and soft, his are large and calloused from the numerous jobs he’s had.

Soon enough, the batter is done, poured into a pan and put into the oven to bake. Yuji walks in curiously when he smells baking.

“What’s in the oven?”

“Yuji, don’t get too close, it’s hot.” You warn the little kid.

“We’re making cake.” Choso smiles.

“Why?”

“We just felt like it.” You smile.

“Is it anyone’s birthday?”

“It could be someone’s, but not anyone I know of.”

“So why make a cake?”

“Doesn’t dessert sound nice, Yuji?” Choso laughs.

“Okay!” The boy runs to play with toys while you help clean the flour off of Choso.

You wipe his shirt, then get close to wipe off his face. He watches you focus, your brows furrowed as you wipe off his forehead, tongue poking out and head slightly tilted.

You’re focused on watching his face as you wipe off the flour, watching his pupils get larger, his lips slightly part, eyes fluttering slightly as he blinks. You watch his gaze move down from your eyes, you can only assume he’s staring at your lips.

“…What’s the timer at now?”

Choso looks at the timer after a few seconds. “Um, 5:30.”

“Okay.” You back away and get the frosting ready. “When the timer beeps, poke the cake with a butter knife to check if it’s fully baked through, okay?”

“Okay.” He nods and watches you.

When the cake is done, he pokes the cake, it’s fully baked, and you let it cool for a bit then show him how to frost the cake.

You giggle and get some on his nose, so he retaliates and gets some on your cheek. You squeal and laugh, feeling him purposely go overboard and smear frosting on you. Eventually, the cake finishes getting frosted and your face is a mess, now it’s his turn to clean off your face.

His calloused hands are gentle when he holds your face, he’s focused and you admire his features. His hair isn’t up for once, eye bags are more prominent since he worked late last night, and his piercings are removed.

Once your face is less sticky, you cut the cake after dinner and Yuji excitedly eats it. The cake is delicious.

“So, Yuji, how’s Choso’s first cake?” You ask.

“Delicious!” The boy grins.

“Yeah? Did I do good?” Choso smiles.

“Yeah!”

You giggle and finish your cake, putting the leftovers in his fridge since you’re over here more than your own apartment next door. You go home and head to bed, thinking about how close you and Choso were earlier.

Battle on chocolate Mustafar 🌋🌠🎂

(19 years ago I made my brother a birthday cake and used his star wars action figures to recreate the battle on mustafar scene for him. He still talks about how that was his favorite cake ever so I decided to surprise him & re-make it again for him this year)

[cerbreus]

baking never feels more like science to me than when i'm trying to cobble together an intricate multi step recipe together from several different recipes and tutorials online because the recipe I'm imagining doesn't exist....

[theend1shere]

I want chocolate. Specifically the chocolate of one specific store. But I don't have any bc their chocolate is expensive and I ate all the ones that i bought yesterday, so now that I want more of the chocolate, I don't have any :((

I also want cake batter. Specifically the batter. But when I make cake just for the batter I end up not eating the cake and cake molds quickly this time of year. Also the batter we have here is store-bought, and from an expensive brand, so I can't make it just to end up not eating it :((

Tiramisu lol

Lmao even. So I typically keep the selfship stuff to myself cause I'm...idk shy/afraid of getting harassed but I'll babble a little.

So technically today is my (selfship) anniversary with Peppino, April 21st, 2023 and I made Tiramisu again this year for us lol.

Recipe I use (Definitely add dark rum, trust me it adds a lot more depth to the flavor)

So uh, anyways, this has been chilling for...*looks at time* 5 hours now, I'ma wait for 8 before eating some for dessert (Letting it sit longer improves the flavor). Today also involved me going to a nice restaurant for food and basically just a nice day trip to celebrate.

It was a good day :>

Anyways, I got into this goofy ass pizza game late Feb 2023 and slowly got to thinking, "Yeah lol, I like Peppino". And the commissioned a few art pieces of my fursona with him for "haha funny". Yeah I actually started to realize in March I love this anxious man. Then officially decided to ship/date him :>

I've had a few comms being made for the occasion which I can't wait to see when they're done.

And that's it, that's the post!

(Summer fic is coming along nicely and I actually have two I'm working on for the season. Seasonal Summer fic this year won't involve Summer Slander)

Baking series

We are now caught up with the baking series. Thank you all for your support with these posts. Any time anybody likes, reblogs, or comments on my posts it makes my day go by so much faster. I just wanted to say thank you, for liking my odd content. I love you all so much.

Reblogging these posts since the first one way back in 2018 has helped me realize so many things about myself, about my blog and just about everything. So thank you!

There will be a lot more content coming in the future, in terms of Baking, the Completecy Challenge, and a new form of artwork that I want to share with you. I can't say it yet because I honestly have no idea the name.

If any of you want to make these recipes, feel free to do so. Just send me a picture of your final result. Even if it doesn't come out cute, I want to see it. If I inspired you to create something yummy, I want to see it. If you have a funny story regarding the recipe or whatever feel free to reach out and tell me. I would love to hear it.

I love you all! Thank you for being here! A member of this blog and just a member of this world.

Thank you for not running away from all the randomness, but sometimes I feel like I thrive on Randomness.

okay so i made little lunchbox cakes fully from scratch with vintage piping (but not very detailed bc i had limited buttercream) and ive thought many times about getting a job as like a baker at a grocery store or at a local bakery or something but the issue is im so disabled like i am almost. to the point i can stand regularly and reliably. With assistance. how am i supposed to run around doing cake stuff. my heels are actively in severe pain rn from a regular amount of standing and i may not be able to use my feet tomorrow. and thats just my issues w being upright, theres still more.

idk i feel like it would work out. but logically. no,,

[skipperling]

this year tbh i may just make like strawberry box cake for the cake flavor cause. i like strawberry box cake i like how it doesnt taste very much like actual strawberries it has like its own flavor lol

[beesorcery]

AND i cant even make myself a sweet treat

[wewontbesleeping]

made a cake from my family's old church cookbook tonight and it was sooo good. 1 box cake mix, half a stick of melted butter, 4 eggs, a box of instant pudding, 1 1/4 c water, bake for 50 minutes at 350 in bundt pan, cover with chocolate ganache when cool. and it takes like 4 minutes to make it.

nothing quite like planning your mom's 60th birthday with her (because if you tried to plan a surprise, she'd hate every aspect of it and then blame you for ruining her day) and when you tell her what you think will be the linchpin part of it - you making her favorite type of cake from scratch, special for her - she instead excitedly suggests you go buy an alternative from a store 🙃 sure. ok. whatever you want! i guess!

[sunsets-and-phantoms]

im sorry this is such a vent pls ignore it’s really silly
