DCA MULTIVERES COOKBOOK EXTRAVAGANZA

The offical blog for the DCA MULTIVERSE COOKBOOK ZINE

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

DCA COOKBOOK FANZINE Blog

Hello and Welcome!

This Is the offical Blog for the DCA Cookbook Fanzine.

This will be a collaborative Fanzine with Recipes, Short Stories and Art with the Theme of AU's and of course It will be a cookbook!

This project will probably take longer then the usual fanzine as we'll need to craft and create and test recipes probably before any art or writing even happens, I'm going to take a wild guess and say this might take a year or even two.

FAQ- Find common questions about the zine here

Timeline- A rough estimate is here

For the 'cookies and biscuits' prompt of @dca-cookbook-extravaganza's Bake Off!

Icebox shortbread cookies 🧡

process + rambles below ↓

I divided the dough into four, the brown is chocolate and rest are vanilla, dyed yellow, orange, and a kinda ruddy orange—which is just orange + a little of the chocolate to darken it (also i completely winged the amount of each colour needed, which you'll see the consequences of very soon)

First steps are to make the orange into a thick cylinder and the dark orange into a smaller cylinder.

Once the dough chilled, I used the small cutter to turn the orange log into a crescent shape, then put the dark orange in that space (the extra orange dough was added on the end so the doughs would match length)

Hot dog

While the hot dog chills, I made yellow triangles for the rays and the chocolate ones for the spaces between—the rays need to be chilled completely! Otherwise they'll get a little wonky (like mine)

(oh no, the consequences) Surround the hot dog with the rays. I did three rays at a time, filled the gaps and let that chill before flipping it to add the rest on top

I filled the rest of the gaps and added more to cover the rays completely and even out the shape, and also cut off the extra from the center (which was baked into samples ^_^)

Added the rest of the dough to round out the shape, let it chill through, and then sliced it!

The whole tray, before and after baking 🧡

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Eclipse: Woah! those are some impressive cookies! The care and detail are simply amazing! I really appreciate the effort you put into these. I imagine they tasted wonderful. 👍 Sun: Clips!? How are you not FREAKING OUT over these!? THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!! How are you not so excited about them?

Eclipse: But... I... I was?

Moon: These look so good! And the set up for the picture is as pretty as always. 🌟

day 6: fruit smoothie

Sirens can last hours outside of water, which is just enough time for the full seaside café experience.

The red thing he's on is supposed to be a pebble shapped cushion. I'm actually really happy with how this came out. I've wanted to draw a bit about this au's food situation.

Places near the water definitely have a much easier time serving sirens as they don't need to invest in large expensive fish tanks to accommodate their finned guests. The water is right there and easily accessible.

I'm not sure if sun's mouth allows for drinking through straws but let's just say he's just posing for the camera and then proceeds to stop being photogenic five seconds afterwards, drinking the whole thing in one gulp.

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Sun: Look at the fish!!! That's so nice that the seaside Cafés can accommodate Sirens like that. I wish we had mer-folk in our universe. We'd be sure to accommodate them.

Moon: We're a little ways from the sea though we'd have to invest in those tanks or something.

Sun: Anything for our guests ^-^

[kezibun]

My sister drew a thing for The Great DCA bake off for @dca-cookbook-extravaganza >w<

Tis for monday of Moon week ^-^

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Sun: for legal reasons... I would like to clarify we would not put people in the soup.

Moon: *maniacally snickering* You're all going in the soup. Every last one of you. *more but distant snickering*

[ramblyramblingrambles]

Day 3: brownies

Still got it

Behold! An au I have yet to post about! Steam punk fnaf!

Decided to make this about the chica of this au as she definitely cooks and bakes the most (and the only one who would figure out how to be melancholic about brownies without needing to lament about not being able to eat them). The brownies were somehow the hardest part.

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Moon: Those brownies look so damn good! But is that An Au Chica!?

Sun: A chica!? Wow, our Chica is our most loyal customer, she comes in all the time, she started making a habit of coming into the kitchen to say hi, until we found her in the pantry eating her weight in cheese. *giggles*

Moon: we had to ban her from the kitchen after that smh. But she always asks for something new but make it pizza.

Eclipse: Chica always comes in to my bakery and buys a Pizza loaf and a dozen cupcakes. I must say those brownies look so good. A little crispy around the edges, I just know they're nice and gooey in the middle.

[ramblyramblingrambles]

day 2: tacos

see eclipse can be nice to employees!

Ps: don't pay any mind to the roof crawling. They're just silly like that

Ok so I just realized when my phone asked to up my image's "resolution" it did not mean that it will up the pixel count and instead meant it was going put it through an ai based program real quick and make everything uglier. So yeah I had to delete those images and take new pictures. And I only noticed the lack of quality after playing program telephone with my phone and computer and several apps and then sitting for hours waiting for glaze to finish. So that was annoying.

but any way off to the actual drawing! Honestly trying to think of which of my aus would make tacos was the hardest part. Then I thought "Hey my version of eclipse likes learning new things!" So now he knows how to make tacos. The second hardest part was figuring out how to draw sun and moon spider crawling on the roof (perspective is hard).

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Moon: look at those silly guys on the ceiling ^-^ and oh man do those tacos look so good!

Eclipse: *Nods* I approve of this Eclipse's use of there time to learn to cook. Robots can cook quite well despite a lack of taste buds. As a wise chef once said Anyone Can Cook.

[enigmatic-ace]

Another prompt from @dca-cookbook-extravaganza's Bake Off!

French toast with blueberry maple sauce and banana slices 🧡

My smallest star cutter was too big for the bananas so I had to cut them by hand

Worth it ^_^

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Moon: Oh my goodness!? That's beautiful!!! The banana stars are so pretty. The french toast looks perfectly crispy. Full marks for this. 👏👏👏👏

Sun: This is so amazing o.o

Eclipse: The attention to detail is so wonderful. *nods thoughtfully*

[ramblyramblingrambles]

day 1: soup

sun and moon having soup with their mom.

And no they're not adopted.

a little late but I do have 3 of the other prompts finished just gonna post them separately so I can talk about each one.

this drawing takes place in the very far future for these two. I was thinking about revealing Lyra much later but I decided that good soup with family was a great thing to draw. No idea where their dad is but he's fine. Honestly not quite sure if I like coloring it in color pencil.

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Moon: Awwwww what a heartfelt moment. I bet that soup is so good, nothing beats a mothers cooking. 🌟

Sun: Wow, don't you just love a glimpse into another universe 💕

[bluemellowbunny]

tossing some more lil drawings

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza

got a red apple shark and a green apple (sea) bun

(The apple bun is actually a neat way I found apple slices can be cut, charmingly cute hehe :3)

Then we had cheese, and I went with cheesecake... what ya know I happen to have a lovely dca inspired by strawberry cheesecake!!!

This sun is from my strawberry shortcake au!!!

Then for the next few prompts: egg, soup, and taco again

for egg I decided to draw over this omelette curry dish from Bee and Puppycat, my fav show, and make it look like sun from my Dca Puppycat au! :)

continuing on with my Puppycat au I also drew this au’s sun n moon in there Puppycat forms enjoying some soup (especially the lil Sunny someone with soup all over his face lol, getting carried away there pfpfpf)

and lastly I decided to make a dessert (choco ice cream) taco crab to go with the first taco crab :3

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Moon: Oh Wow!!!! Everyone come look at these!!!

Sun: Look at wha- woah!!! Those are amazing! Is that a version of me who is cheese cake themed!??? That's so fun! Do you think we'd be freinds?

Moon: Cool right! I don't know what a puppycat is but our au freinds look so adorable I just wanna squish there cheeks they're so cute. 🌟

Eclipse: I'll admit it's all very cool, my favourite especially is the dessert taco crab, very creative how do you come up with this stuff?

[enigmatic-ace]

My take on the cheese prompt from @dca-cookbook-extravaganza's Great DCA Bake Off!!

Cheesecake with lemon and raspberry curd 🧡

extras and rambles below cut ↓

I had to take a picture of the bare cheesecake, cause I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've made one that didn't crack!

Of course because I planned to cover it, it turned out perfectly.

-and the whole cake with it's stripes!

I think if I were to remake this, I wouldn't bother making a raspberry curd. I'd instead just keep the sweetened strained raspberry goo as is (stopping the step before adding the yolks), maybe adding some cornstarch or tapioca to thicken instead.

The curd was very thick, and lost some of its deep red colour. It also solidified the moment it touched the cold cake, so doing the little drag-through design didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

Also the raspberry flavour would be much stronger, which would work better considering how little was used compared to the lemon curd.

-Regardless, the cake is delicious! And I'm so happy with how it turned out despite the troubles 🧡

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Sun: OH MY STARS!!!!!!! It's beautiful!!! Have you ever seen such a perfect cheesecake???? I surely never have!

Eclipse: Hey I make a mean cheesecake!

Sun: As beautiful as this?

Eclipse: Let me see that.... Oh... Ok yeah no that is beautiful. And no cracks? I think this deserves a handshake...

Sun: AND A STARBAKER!!!

🌟

Moon: Hey? I wanna see..... Oh wow!

[bluemellowbunny]

@dca-cookbook-extravaganza heyo! Mellow here, I got some lil drawings!

we have a rock candy nudibranch (aka sea slug)

a taco crab :)

a bubble gum tape nautilis (w/ gumball eyes ^^ <3)

and a cream soda float fish!

I do have a question below the cut though about the prompts…

this is how far I’ve gotten with the prompts for sun week…but I am wondering 😅 does this idk “count”??? These aren’t rly dca related…I just drew some food themed sea creatures with the prompts…but I’m doubting if I should keep going…

🥲 I’m worried I may have messed up here since it’s not dca stuff… but hey at least you get some cute art.

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Sun: These are so very adorable friend!!!! So cute I almost don't want to eat them!

Also! Any and all art are welcome! We're just happy our prompts could inspire you! This week is mine for I am the judge, and I say this art deserves a gold star ^-^

They're 3 apples tall your honour

Followed the apples prompt from the @dca-cookbook-extravaganza Great DCA Bake Off prompt list :))

I used the apple design from the fantastic mister fox as inspo and I didn't line it cus I'm lazy :P

I'm not sure if it qualifies for this challenge since its just apple themed designs and not baking themed and I'm only realising this now as I'm typing this '>_>

[dca-cookbook-extravaganza]

Sun: Three apples tall is so tiny!!! Or are the apples very big? Either way they are so very adorable Freind! They're so dapper and very cute surely they count!

Eclipse: I'm sure we can let it slide, just this once.

Moon: I second that I mean look at that apple hat!? I want one of those.
