Trust is like a seed.

Some seeds grow overnight, but have shallow roots.

Some seeds take more time to establish its roots before it breaks through the foundation.

Both started from a humble seed.

The seed that sprung up quickly usually has a short season, enjoyed while it lasted.

Shaken and scattered by the storms of life are the shallow rooted seeds.

The seed that appeared to be a late bloomer grows strong and tall.

It can be seen from afar standing alongside the oaks, redwoods, and olive groves.

Trust is like a seed.

Sleepyphoton’s Genshin Impact Cake Breakdown Version 2

Tadaa! brand new cake means a brand new breakdown and boy is it a doozy! 

I have some diagrams and tutorials below, along with my theoretical approach to creating this complicated confection. Enjoy! 

So first thing’s first, this cake is definitely chocolate inside, with a chocolate filling. it could be a whipped ganache, or a buttercream, whatever you want as long as it has some stability!  This cake is MUCH more advanced than the last one, it genuinely looks like something that could have come out of a professional kitchen. I’ll be approaching this primarily with frosting in mind, but if you want to go for fondant that might make things a bit easier. 

First, the decorations on the actual cake. The whole thing has like 6 colors: a dark brown all around the edge with some squares of it on top, squares of a medium brown on the top, two lighter colors that are also in squares on the top, a gold for the top decor, and some kind of orangey-gold for the details around the sides and bottom.  The side of the cake also looks like it has some light gold speckles on it which could be ignored for the sake of simplicity. 

The grid/checkered pattern on the top of the cake could be piped and smoothed neatly, or done with fondant. Either way you’ll want nice sharp edges on both your pattern and the entire top edge of your cake. The remaining patterns could then be stenciled onto your fondant or refrigerated frosting using edible gold spray or luster dust. You could also pipe out the designs if you’re confident in your skills, or cut them out of a different color of fondant. Above I’ve drawn what I believe the pattern would most likely look like flat, it’s not 100% accurate but I doubt it’s possible to get much closer than that. I made it in black and white so it can be printed if you’d like to use it as a stencil. If you want to pipe directly over the image in frosting or in chocolate, you should flip the image and then pipe onto parchment paper on top of the pattern, then put the designs in the fridge or freezer before transferring to the cake.  

The designs on the side of the cake look as though they would be best piped on directly. The pearl boarder is fairly simple, THIS video can show you how to do it in icing, and for fondant I’d really just recommend getting a mould. For the arches you can absolutely just wing it, but you could also try measuring out the cake into 10 even units along the side as that’s how many arches there are. This may require some math.

The glaze lily topper and various swirls would be difficult to make 100% accurate, so I’ve found some techniques that are easy enough to replicate in an amateur kitchen.  

For all of these I would recommend using white chocolate, and tempering your chocolate, especially if you plan to do free-standing swirls. (video about tempering white chocolate HERE) You could also potentially just use white chocolate candy melts.  The swirls could be piped flat and stuck into/leaned against the cake no problem, it wouldn't be quite the same but it would have a similar enough look. But if you want to try a more advanced and accurate approach, here’s a tutorial on how to make fancy chocolate swirls with acetate X. It’s tempting to make these things and then pop them into the fridge, but if you’ve tempered your chocolate you really need to let them sit at room temperature for like 5-10 minutes before doing so. Attached to the swirls seems to be some kind of gold design? I’ve interpreted it as a line of birds in flight, and it can just be piped flat and then attached to the swirls later with a dab of melted chocolate. I also recommend using edible luster dust or shimmer spray in gold to take it up a level of fanciness. 

The Lily could be constructed with fondant (store-bought or diy marshmallow would work), techniques like the ones found in THIS video may be needed if you choose to go this route. It should probably be allowed to dry out and harden a bit before use, so I'd recommend making it a day or more in advance. If you want to make the flower out of chocolate you could use one of the very simple techniques I've included in the above image to get something close enough, or you could do something a bit nicer by using techniques like the ones in THIS video.  

That’s basically it from me! I hope people find this useful, it was a very complicated cake. May we all enjoy another great year of Genshin!

Story=half baked bread, must fix

So I’m still looking for a better middle to my story. I know how I want the beginning and end to be, but the middle has been so fluid and set all at the same time. It’s like a loaf of bread with a mushy midsection. I want a fully baked loaf!

This was an article sent to me in a legit teachers’ magazine.

I don’t want to read it because I want to believe robots will be silently judging our youth in the very near future.

word vomit

I'm sick of not knowing. I'm sick of not knowing where my life is going, what I want to do with my life, who I am. I'm sic of not knowing when the constant whirring of my brain will shut the fuck up and finally let me sleep. I want to know when I'll stop imagining stupid scenarios that leave me in a vulnerable panicked state. When can I stop hiding how I really feel from people - I'm sick of putting on a front and not saying shit like it is. I want to know who I am and why I'm here. I'm sick of not knowing what the point of my life is. If everything just stopped right here right now what would actually happen? Nothing. There is no point to my life and I'm just sick of waking up, going to work, going back to bed. I feel like I'm wasting my time and I don't even know how much time I have to waste. There's so much that I want to do but there's so much holding me back.I just don't know, and I'm sick of it.

i did another costume breakdown, this time for Venti! the layers look really complicated in game, but there’s actually not that many pieces that would be difficult to make!  (detailed notes under the cut on how i would approach making stuff)

The shirt could be a perfectly normal pintucked blouse, just with an ascot and cuffs added on top. The easiest approach for the hose/tights would probably be to just paint the diamonds on some pre-made tights. The beret could get tricky if you don’t have a pattern, a little applique sewn on a pre-made beret would also work. I would fasten the pantaloons on the sides with snaps, the pocket area would not be sewn up tightly so you could slide them on and off easily. The loafers could just be any thrifted pair.  The belt could easily be done by sewing vinyl on top of foam or puffy paint for dimension, adding sculpted/3d printed buckles or sewing on gold fabric would work. Most of the trinkets would have to be custom sculpted or 3d printed, the feather keychain would be easy to assemble though if you have some jewelry making supplies. 

The cape has a top flap and then the bottom two pieces, and it’s fastened with a bow. I would tie a perfect bow and sew it down, then add some snaps, or hooks or something to actually fasten the cape. The cape would probably need to have a custom painted or dyed lining to match the model, but the details on the top could be applique no problem. Most of this could easily be done in simple cotton, but if I were to dress it up I would use velvet or corduroy for the pants, something to add texture. Or i would even make the pantaloons slashed just to add some visual interest there.

As I lay here in bed, exhausted and reflecting on my first day at an incredible job that I feel like I truly deserve, I am finally able to express my #yogagirlchallenge day 9, #trueforgiveness. True forgiveness is something that, for me, means being forgiving of myself. Outwardly, forgiveness is something that I tend to give away. When someone hurts me, I’m generally the first one attempting to make amends because I wholeheartedly detest confrontation/fighting with someone I love. But today I have to allow (myself) true forgiveness. To release all of the pain and suffering that I have gone through. Forgive the situations and people in my life that have jaded me and caused me to sometimes expect the worst from people that I put my trust in. Having a guarded heart and being truly scared to give myself to people for fear of being rejected. I’m tired of living my life with a heart placed on eggshells. Because of all of you, I have learned to love myself again and know how worthy I am of outwardly love. My gratitude is endless for all of the people in my life that have taught me what love is, by example. Thank you all for listening to my rambling, sleepy, soul expressions and for keeping me company during a journey that can sometimes be lonely and troubling. I love you all, and I truly mean it ✨ #sleepyramblings #lovetankoverflowing @yoga_girl
