Is it too early to be thinking about Halloween? Probably

Do I care? Not in the slightest! 😂

I decided to do a quick makeup test for Morticia yesterday now that I have all of the main pieces in (Amazon lace front wig, whose lace will be trimmed back and Thredup dress). Once I finish my current project, I'm going to add a bunch of fun details and things to the dress that I'm pretty excited about 😍

(I'm thinking of combining some things and taking inspiration from Hannah Alexander, the original 60s tv show, the 90s movies with Angelica Huston as well as the musical)

I made a 5 layer black velvet cake to honor Persephone.

This 5 layer black velvet cake is rich, dramatic, and symbolic of Persephone's dual nature as both the goddess of spring and the queen of the underworld.

Ingredients

For the cake layers:

2½ cups all-purpose flour

1½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup vegetable oil

1½ tsp baking powder

1½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black gel food coloring

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup hot brewed coffee (to intensify the chocolate flavor)

1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the black buttercream frosting:

2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature

6 cups powdered sugar

½ cup cocoa powder

2-3 tbsp milk

1-2 tsp black gel food coloring

2 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For garnishing:

Fresh pomegranate arils (to represent Persephone’s story)

Blackberries

Cherries

Sliced blood oranges

Raspberries

Small edible rosebuds

Edible gold dust (for a touch of luxury and symbolism)

Instructions

Prepare the cake layers:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C.) Grease and line five 6-inch round cake pans. Alternatively, you can bake in batches if you have fewer pans.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Once combined, add the hot coffee and black food coloring. Mix until the batter is smooth and the color is evenly distributed.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Make the black buttercream frosting:

In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt, beating on low speed until incorporated.

Add the vanilla extract and milk, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the black food coloring and mix until the frosting reaches a dark, rich color. Adjust the milk or sugar as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.

3. Assemble the cake:

Place the first cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a layer of black buttercream on top. Repeat this process with the remaining layers, stacking them neatly.

Once all layers are stacked, apply a thin layer of frosting around the entire cake for a crumb coat. Chill the cake in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to set the crumb coat.

Apply a thicker layer of black buttercream to the entire cake, smoothing the surface as desired. Use a piping bag with a star tip to add decorative swirls and patterns on the top and around the edges.

4. Garnish:

Arrange the pomegranate arils, blackberries, cherries, blood orange, and raspberries on top of the cake to create a lush, dark bouquet.

Place small edible rosebuds between the fruits for a mythical touch.

Lightly dust with edible gold dust for a mystical and otherworldly touch that's reminiscent of Persephone's connection to both the underworld and the beauty of spring.

5. Serve:

Slice the cake and serve to honor Persephone with its rich flavors and symbolic toppings that represent the darkness of winter and the brightness of spring that she brings.

DAY 10: Personality - this turned out bigger than anticipated. hey cookie run followers . hi. messenger by @skybristle

[spitefulcrepechan]

Well, I gots the main cast of this bloody swap au all set and done HEHEHEHE

And now to introduce you to them one by one

Telliberry Cookie - A thief that was born in a poverish town. In order to support her home and family, she began going into neighboring towns and cities in an attempt to gather materials needed for survival. Eventually, though, she became hateful towards the rich and luxurious who pawned off the suffering of those like her, and so took to stealing their wealth and pride to give to her struggling town. One day, she stole something from the wrong guy, who arranged for her to be kidnapped and then imprisoned for god knows how long, enduring torture near constantly to the point where they tore one of her arms off all because of one item. While there, she formed a friendship with the nearby crows that would come and slip through the bars, offering them the small amounts of food she was given despite starving to death, which eventually paid off as they managed to free her from her prison and helped her escape. Now with her new corvid companions, she could be able to find all the resources she wanted for her struggling town, hoping to one day give the friends and family she grew up with the paradise they deserve.

Crepe Yasan Cookie - The result of an inventor attempting to create a cookie robot with a heart. They lived most of their life sheltered and when they eventually convinced their parental figure to allow them social interaction with others, they were outcasted and made fun of for their robotic nature. It got to a point where they accidentally activated a self-defense mechanism and nearly crumbled somebody. This very action caused them to be hunted down, not for their violent act, but for the raw and unique power they wielded, and for their safety, their inventor had to abandon them far away in the woods. Now living as a loner, they managed to make a living off of being a wandering mechanics, visiting places and making repairs before leaving onto the next area. They hope to one day be able to finally settle down in a place that could accept them.

Long Hu Feng Cookie - LHF was once comprised of three animals, a snake, a chicken, and a cat. These three animals were the beloved familiars of a witch who was still practicing in making living cookies. One by one, though, the familiars died of natural causes and the witch was devastated, so much that she decided to try and bring her beloved companions back with the baking magic she was given. She did something wrong, however, instead of managing to create 3 individual cookies, she managed to create one singular cookie, made with the remnants of her feral familiars. Even moreso, the cookie did not at all recognize the witch and had its own consciousness. Rather then being upset though, the witch decided to keep the cookie as her own familiar, one that managed to excel in terms of her late friends from the magical prowess it showed. Eventually, it wished to go and explore the world, see what other kinds of magic existed there, and so the witch allowed it, granting it a single silver spoon to use as a magic wand so that they could always be together. With the promise of returning after it has discovered everything Earthbread could offer, Long Hu Feng ventured out in search of new wonders.

Ginger Cake Cookie - He was a creation of a witch much like LHF. Unlike it, however, he was made to be eaten, being forced to run and flee from his creator in order to increase his tastiness. After countless days of trying to survive, he would end up soon rebelling against his tormentor, managing to convince the cakehounds that were made to chase him into fighting the witch, not only earning his but their freedom as well. Wielding a cake knife, he and his pack managed to successfully escape the witch and escape out into Earthbread. Now with the whole world to discover, Ginger Cake journeys with his army of Cakehounds for a place to call home, where they never have to fear being eaten ever again.

Cream Tea Cookie - The current president of the Creme Republic, who's currently on leave due to being on a very specific mission. That mission being to seek out the Five Auspicious Beasts and their Soul Jams in order face against a dabger to the entirety of Earthbread. Accompanied by his soldiers and equipped with his trusty compass, he hopes to accomplish his goal and save his homeland from the sovereign light that threatens everyone he knows and loves.

Due to fateful encounters that tied these five together, these cookies will band together on a journey across Beast-Yeast. With all their skills combine, they will be able to conquer any obstacles that gets in their way of obtaining their goals.

That Goal being to one day find a Kingdom. A Kingdom of Hope.
