fucking christ i hate baking

inflexible, so if something isn’t working i usually can’t fix it, just start over completely

similarly hostile to improvisation or last-minute substitutions

uses ten thousand dishes and measuring implements

incredibly long but not in ways where you can just go away for a few hours and do something else like a pot roast or smth

cake isn’t actually that good

unfortunately, workplace fiat mandates that i bake a birthday cake for my coworker so it is That Time Of Year Again

i made a chai vanilla cake with maple buttercream frosting. the cake is i think good if too buttery, the frosting fucking sucks (grainy and yet also too buttery somehow) but it does taste like maple and therefore no one should criticize me

#honestly what drives me nuts is that it makes me feel like i am uncontrollably relegated to the status of like #pathetic fuckup coworker. because i can't bake and don't own baking shit #if i could bring you a WHOLE ROASTED TROUT or a BURGER or something then it would be clear that i am in fact #extremely good at cooking #i just specifically do not bake do not care to and don't even like cake much!#i wish anything else could happen to me instead of this!#let me make some virtuosically delicious vegan versions of various soups and sauces to display my adaptive cleverness #it's just so. demoralizing. and undignified.#box opener #it takes so long and there are no clean bowls in this whole horrible house
