The F*cking Eccles Cakes
Forgive me for the rude swearing, but BOY, these pastries have been breaking my brain, just like so many things in S2, for weeks now.
Could they very well just be a completely random and unimportant thing/plotdevice (just like the Flaming Sword) we will never see again? Sure. Were they also extremely specifically and almost dramatically Chekov‘s-gun-ishly set up in S2E1? Yes. Which is exactly why my delusional self is frothing at the mouth over not being able to figure out what tHEIR DEAL IS-
Anyway, if someone knows, Do feel free to enlighten me. (Update: Hey, turns out someone does know, indeed! And that someone is @drconstellation who wrote this incredible meta about the theme of offerings in Season 2. And the Eccles cakes are part of it. Go read it!)
In the meantime, upon googling them, I did come across a fun little (possibly clue-y) piece of information, which is:
1793, anyone? the 1793? THE post-avoiding-being-guillotined-and-having-✨crêpes✨-for-lunch 1793? Again, might be pure coinkydinky, but it seems awfully like a hidden piece of easter egg shell to me!

A Rose By Any Other Name:
a Romeo and Juliet inspired mascarpone and pistachio praline filled cream puff topped with raspberry-rose panna cotta, rose shaped raspberry-rose pate de fruit, candied Sicilian pistachios, and a chocolate dagger.
Sometimes, when it's slow, we get to practice our skills at work, and this is one of those times! today i was paired with a coworker to make a buffet portion dessert for a randomly assigned theme- ours was Shakespeare and we were inspired by Romeo and Juliet! We had 24 hours to plan and 4 hours to make everything start to finish, and this is what we came up with!
Thank you @darcyshire for inspiring me to post more of my work!
