Pro tip: If you want to order a cake, have half a clue what you want.

Makes everyone’s lives easier. I don’t understand, like have you never seen a cake before? If you don’t care what you get go to Costco or Sam’s or Walmart or whatever, don’t waste my time because I can’t read your mind. I want to make the best cake possible, not something you wouldn’t be happy with.

On foreshadowing and yeast:

This morning, I was making cinnamon rolls to distract from the crushing void that is existence, and was kneading the dough only to realize I'd forgotten to add yeast (Terry Pratchett audiobook was being inconveniently entertaining). So, I sorta... ✨Sprinkled✨ it on and forcibly worked it in til it felt more or less smooth.

It occurred to me, that this is also how I write foreshadowing. I write through the story, new and interesting ways of unfolding the story occur to me, I think how going back and adding a subtle allusion to new developments might add a little extra bit of texture and add to the story as a whole so I *aggressively knead* it in there 'til it flows and the end product is (Hopefully) a more interesting, satisfying piece of... breakfast?

I dropped a mug this morning and it broke, so... I don't have high hopes for these cinnamon rolls. *stares at dough proving in oven*

(I didn't actually drop a mug, but I'm pretty sure I ruined brunch anyway.)

It's been a long day full of burns and aggravating, indecisive wedding orders

Some of my friends and family don’t like strawberries and that makes me sad, because I can’t make strawberry cake for them, which also means I can’t make strawberry cake for myself even though cakes with strawberries are my favorite, because I’d feel lonely eating it.

I miss painting my nails. I feel naked

I work at a grocery store bakery where we’re not usually allowed to decorate the cakes with copyrighted materials, but every year the store manager comes to one of the cake decorators for his daughter’s birthday and requests some strange crossover of things she likes.

Last year it was Equestria Girls Rainbow Dash and TTG! Starfire high-fiving and this year it’s the chocolate chip cookie from shopkins dressed as a jedi using the force to chuck cookies at Darth Vader’s head.

I’ve only met this kid once or twice but I have a feeling that she will accomplish great things.

Walked past 6 people on the way out of work, and grabbed a coffee from the corner store, but not a single person said anything. They really let me drive home with flour on muh face. 😑
