The Language of Cake

Ms Sinclair and cake, a quickie.

A quickie by Ms Sinclair I find the language of cake to be aggressive, guttural, and obnoxious. I was in the supermarket and the thought crossed my mind that I fancied cake. Just that, cake. Not a specific cake like a swish roll, victoria sandwich or even a delicious fresh cream cake. Wondering down the cake isle they all started shouting at me. Other food in the supermarket shouts but none…

Everyone please put your hands together for my beautiful newborn daughter Mr. Kipling

She came to life when a moth landed on a battenburg cake to lay its eggs and he emerged radiant and glorious.

GENRE: fluff!

FEATURED: etho

WARNINGS: none

PROMPT: Content was the only feeling they needed during these hours.

WORD COUNT: 472

A storm rushes outside. Strong wind pulled its strings against the trees and bushes alike as it howled its melancholic tune.

Inside of the cabin was warm. A fire lit fresh upon its stand of logs. Sparks flickered as they reached up the chimney, wanting to be one with the stars.

"Here you go, Joel! A nice hot cuppa to go with some freshly made battenburgs!" The familiar voice of Etho called off from the side of where he sat upon the settee, looking up from the book he was reading, letting his mind reel back from the haze and into reality once more.

Etho stood with a plate in one hand and two cups of hot drinks in the other. Joel places the book he held down onto his lap after marking the page with a homemade bookmark, flipping one half of the book onto the other with a gentle shut. He then reaches over to the side of the settee and grabs one of the hot grey cups from Etho. "Thank you." He brings the cup to his lips, blowing gently against the thin rising streaks of steam.

Etho replies with a soft hum, rounding the arm of the settee that Joel sat nearby by of, placing his cup and the plate onto a small table sitting in front of them, only to grab one of the battenburgs and lowers himself to sit on the right side of Joel, chewing into the sunlit yellow and sugar covered miniature cake piece.

No talk spiked between either males, only comforting silence as the two wrapped themselves in the warmth of the cosy felt cabin.

Etho swipes his hands together to be rid of the sugar sticking to his fingers, reeling himself against the softening backrest. A few seconds after and Joel places his tea next to Etho's, picking up the book from his lap once more as he scoots closer to Etho, turning himself around so his feet hung off the armrest, his head leaning against Etho's side.

Etho knocks his head to the side, glance focusing on Joel for just a moment as he brings one hand atop of Joel's crown, brushing his fingers through Joel's strands, a soft, faint smile paints over his lips, under the mask he wore, at seeing Joel lean into his touch, even if Joel's attention still lied on the paperback item in his hands.

The said spanning attention thins out as Joel tilts his head up, smiling back at Etho for just a moment and then back to reading his book. The Ashen-haired male's arm reaches down to hug Joel.

Etho afterwards leans his head over, pressing a faint kiss against Joel's crown, letting himself rest atop of the others' head, content wrapped around the two like a blanket as the storm still rolled on.

symbruary-wise the symbiote cake prompt didn't make it but i'm gonna try and fail to make a wormie battenburg anyway. let me know if you know how to make marzipan stick to marzipan

[jess-the-reckless]

My fancy cake obsession is getting worse. Every time someone has a birthday near me I try to make petit fours and things. The brown parts of the Battenburg cake are chocolate, while the orange part is flavoured with orange zest and orange extract. Whole thing was assembled with shredless orange marmalade, and wrapped in orange marzipan.

Then, because you get more offcuts than actual cake when assembling a Battenburg, I threw both sets of offcuts into the food processor, then mixed them with buttercream - chocolate for the chocolate, and orange for the orange. The chocolate cake balls I then rolled in melted chocolate and coconut. The orange ones I draped in leftover marzipan, pricked forever with a pickle fork for the dimpling effect, then stuck a clove in them. The leaves were grudgingly supplied by my basil plant, but then they always turn grudging this time of year, unfortunately.

Oak lantern moths are the most delightful micro-moth friends. Look at those long antennas! The battenburg cake colouration!! I have a tattoo of this species lifecycle on my shoulder. It's such a good moth.

May we all find comfort in tiny arthropods when we need it.

To help moths like this, please look out for your local trees, and report any damage to street and park trees to you local council/equivalent. Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board 🦋✨

[yakuzacanons]

hello once again prefacing with saying i love ur blog and ur headcanons :3 tbh amongst all the relationship hcs this one feels almost odd to ask but idk this is what i care about: what kind of cake flavours do u think the fellas like? if u were gonna treat em to something or get them a birthday cake, u gotta know what theyd like, right?

Last one for tonight, also anon how did you know I've literally been musing on this idea ever since I first started this blog? Same braincell fr fr. Your mind is huge and wrinkly and powerful. Long one since this now includes characters all through Yakuza 7. Enjoy!

Also, INBOX IS OPEN AGAIN. I finally have less than 10 asks so I feel comfortable taking more on. Hit me with em.

Kazuma Kiryu

Most people think he doesn't like sweets, but in reality he's just kind of neutral on them. Grew more accustomed to them when Haruka was younger as she really liked them. More than anything he's just baffled and really touched that you'd want to treat him to cake of any kind.

He likes simple cakes, preferably without frosting or a lot of decorations. Things like bundt cake or castella cake are great choices for Kiryu.

Majima Goro

Also kind of shocked that you'd want to treat him to cake but also at the same time is very excited at the prospect at being treated to cake. If you surprise him with some, he'll give you a big hug and a very enthusiastic thank you.

Tends to lean towards richer, darker flavors. Chocolate cake with a simple dark chocolate frosting is great for him. Also enjoys Black Forest cake, if you can find it.

Saejima Taiga

The poor gentle giant cannot remember the last time he had cake. It's not really something they serve in prison. Genuinely treasures the gesture and really savors it.

Honestly hasn't got a favorite. Likes cakes with some texture to them, like carrot cake. Does get easily wowed by fancy decorations or toppings.

Akiyama Shun

Out of all the boys, the most likely to return the favor of treating you to cake immediately the next time he sees you. The others would save it for an occassion but Akiyama would immediately pay you back by treating you to your favorite cake.

He's a sucker for Devil's Food cake or Red Velvet cake. Likes cream cheese frosting as it provides a nice tart contrast to the sweet intensity of the cake itself.

Tanimura Masayoshi

People rarely treat him to much of anything so he's giddy as all hell to be treated by you. Would totally love to treat you to your favorite meal on your next date as a thank you. He'd treat you to cake himself but he doesn't really know where to get good dessert. He's better with savory foods.

Likes fruity flavors, especially if they're leaning towards citrus. Pineapple upside down cake or a lemon cake would be good.

Ryuji Goda

His position means he's been treated to a fair share of desserts but it means a lot coming from someone that he personally and emotionally cares about deeply. If you make him a homemade cake, he would be speechless.

Likes cakes with some creaminess of some kind, like Boston Cream Pie (which is in fact a cake despite the name) or any kind of cheesecake.

Nishikiyama Akira

Says something like "Ah, for me? You shouldn't have!" but inside he's like "Oh wow, they got me cake? I don't know if anyone's ever done that!" and he's really happy.

Impressed by cakes with fancy layers inside, like opera cake or battenburg cake. Crepe cakes are also a good idea. Cakes with fillings are also nice. He's more about what's inside the cake than outside.

Daigo Dojima

Similar to Ryuji, his position has shown him a fair share of desserts or birthday celebrations. However, someone treating him personally is a little new. If you make him something homemade, he might actually cry a little.

Partial to coffee flavored things. Although it's not a cake in the most traditional sense, he does like tiramisu. However, a regular coffee cake is also greatly appreciated.

Mine Yoshitaka

Probably the only boy that is kind of opposed to cake. He appreciates the gesture but he just doesn't have a sweet tooth. However, as long it's milder in flavor and not intense in sweetness, he will eat it.

If he had to pick a favorite cake, he'd go with Baumkuchen as it's pretty popular in Japan and easy to get. The sweetness is pretty mild and he likes the vanilla taste as it's not super saturated.

Shinada Tatsuo

Has the strongest sweettooth out of all the boys, even more than Ichiban. Just happy to be having cake with you, honestly. You don't have to be fancy with him either. In fact, fancier cakes are kind of lost on him so don't go getting him something complex like you might do for Nishikiyama.

He's a little embarassed to say it as he thinks it sounds girlie for some reason but he likes strawberry shortcake. Victoria sponge cake is also good, as it's basically the same flavor profile but built slightly differently.

Kasuga Ichiban

Second most fond of sweets of all the boys. Type of guy to share cake with all of his friends. He's more about enjoying it all together than eating the whole cake by himself, if that makes sense.

Genuinely has no preference over what kind of cake you get. Ichiban's got a pretty open mind when it comes to food. He likes the texture of chiffon cake the most as it's super light and fluffy. When it comes to flavor, he likes the caramel taste of flan cakes a lot.

Joon-Gi Han

A sucker for a pretty and aesthetic dessert. Likes his cake almost too pretty to eat. Similar to Nishikiyama in that he will hide how excited he is to be having cake with you.

Likes chocolate cake the most in any form. As long as it's chocolate flavored in some aspect, whether it's the cake itself or just the frosting, he likes it. Dobos cake or Sachetorte are great if you really want to impress him.

Tianyou Zhao

Prefers Eastern style cakes to Western style cakes but will eat both. Actually likes more bite size desserts like cupcakes or moon cakes.

For flavors, he likes coconut or mango cake. A box of really nice moon cakes will also do but it must be at the appropriate time during the year or else he's going to wonder why on Earth you're giving those to him. Also fond of those pineapple cakes from Taiwan.
