Baby broke into my freezer stash of leftover icing and ate buttercream straight up. He’s eight. I can’t even count all of the items he’s “stolen” and eaten in the last ten days. I’m so frustrated by this behavior!

I made this family cake recipe for my uncle over the weekend.

The funeral was beautiful and incredibly sad. My aunt was only 60. My dad, my grandparents, and my aunt—all gone at this point. It was so emotional for me. Almost worse than when my dad died. I think because I didn’t have to be “on,” I felt more able to grieve the loss in the moment. I’m still processing. I brought all of these snacks to the funeral because my cousins’ kids were there along with mine. We had a huge group of like 35-40 of us that went out to dinner and then breakfast over the weekend. It was so nice to see all of them.

One of the kids got some paleontology gift from Ms. Six and it is super messy!

(Late) Happy Monday!

In some random scenario, some magical mayhaps of a happenstance, Harry has to bake Voldemort a cake. Maybe it's out of goodwill, maybe it's the secret to the dark lord's destruction. What cake do you think he'd bake? Would he put effort in? I'd wager Harry at least knows what a crumbcoat is, having lived under Petunia's roof.

Don't know how this ask came to mind, but it's lighthearted and silly.

Well wishes :)

It's almost two months late (I'm sorry @known-concepts) but it's once again Monday, so I thought I'd give this a shot. Thank you for the ask! <3

(If anything doesn't fit with canon, like where Harry spent the sixth year winter holidays -- please ignore it)

Harry's been spending a little too much time thinking about Voldemort lately thanks to his trips into pensieve memories, and now he knows the snake-man's birth date, and Harry knows how much receiving birthday gifts from other people has meant to him. So, he decides to bake Voldemort a birthday cake.

(He briefly debates poisoning or cursing the cake, but 1. Voldemort would probably have wards to detect things like that, paranoid berk that he is, and 2. it will be all the more unnerving if there's nothing wrong with the cake. Psychological warfare but make it delicious.)

He decides on a chocolate cake, as dark as he can make it, with thick raspberry jam between the layers and a chocolate ganache frosting. Maybe he can kill Voldemort with rich, chocolaty flavour. "Death by chocolate" is a thing, right?

The house elves are overjoyed when he comes down to the kitchens and ply him with foods of all kinds. At first, they try to insist on letting them bake the cake for him, but once they realise how firm he is on the subject, they set him up with a station and all of the ingredients he needs. (He'd tried to tell them he could do it himself, but the elves were already on edge from his refusal of their help; he gives in and lets them bring him the ingredients when a couple burst into tears.)

Harry bakes three eight-inch circular layers, the cocoa in them so dark the cakes are almost black. He spreads the jam generously between the layers, does a thin layer of frosting to hold the crumbs down, and then dumps the still-warm ganache over the cake, letting it run down the sides in heavy drips. The slight sheen and dark chocolate make it look a bit like an oil slick.

Harry dithers on what to put on the cake, because he's not exactly happy Voldemort was born, given all the pain and suffering he's caused, but Harry's bothering to make a cake, so he's not exactly unhappy either. But "[complicated feelings] birthday to you" is a little weird, and also won't fit on a cake, probably. He could leave it blank, he supposes. But no.

This is how Harry ends up sending an almost-black, shiny cake with the word "BIRTH" written in blood-red frosting on it to Voldemort for his birthday.

The wordless, hissing confusion (along with a very small, very buried, very mortified bit of happiness) he feels through their connection later that night make it all worth it.

Baked a lemon blueberry pound cake, and it turned out pretty tasty.

It’s never to late to bake a cake

It’s about to be 10:30pm I told my mom I promise not to burn down the apartment but I have a feeling she’s not going to bed until it comes out of the oven

Someone requested a churro cake. I made a cinnamon cake with cinnamon buttercream and then went to one of the local mercados to get the churros. They made them fresh for me. Yum! Sort of wish I was getting to eat this cake. Both the icing and the cake with new flavor requests for me and I was happy with how they turned out.
