Apple frangipane tart- by me! I stress bake. Lately I’ve been too tired and too stressed to even do that. But I made myself get up and do something for Thanksgiving. I’m super happy with how this came out.

Have some shitty doodle.... I drew this on my tablet with the samsung scetch app and some ordinary tablet pen..., I got bored waiting for my cake to be ready.... so yeah xD this pen is rlly not useful for this, hahaha!

OKAY but Jehan and Montparnasse baking together????? *0*

Oh my godddd

I thought about this the whole way home, okay, here we go (good morning, it’s 1am here, yay)

Parnasse gets a call at, like 2am. It’s Jehan’s ringtone, so he immediately wakes up, and Jehan sounds vaguely upset? So Parnasse is on his doorstep, like, two seconds later and lets himself in

Turns out Jehan has decided that the mastering of any art is best done through procrastination and sleep deprivation, and he’s laying on his kitchen floor, surrounded by eggshells, and playing Billy Elliot really loud

“I have to bake a cake for this Pride event, and I don’t know how to bake, but I get the feeling you do, Parnasse, help me.”

“When does this have to be done by exactly?” “Tomorrow.” “What the shit, Jehan.”

The main issue is that Jehan has spent waaaay too much time on Pinterest and wants to make one of those fancy rainbow cakes, but it’s a lucky thing he hasn’t burned his apartment down yet, and he’s almost out of eggs.

Montparnasse knows the absolute basics of baking. He can turn on an oven and follow directions, and he eventually strong-arms Jehan into making an easy chocolate cake instead of that monstrosity of food coloring he wants to fool with.

Thank god Parnasse works well on little sleep because Jehan is an unhelpful, giggly mess.

“Where did that egg go?” “Egg? What egg?” “You know what egg.” “America. The birth of a new nation.” “This is the third musical you’ve managed to quote at eggs, just give it to me, I swear.”

(Those would be Something Rotten!, Starship, and now 1776)

Flour fight

“Some poweder for your hair, Monseiur?”

Parnasse looks like a pied raven, save him

Cake finally gets done, and Jehan INSISTS on being the one to decorate it. He has twelve different colors of icing, and he is going to use all of them.

Parnasse made the mistake of trusting Jehan to do this on his own and took a nap on the couch. Woke up ten minutes later to Jehan drawing a mustache on his face in pink icing pen.

By the end of everything, they’re both covered in sugar and flour and need a shower badly. Jehan texts Feuilly to pick up the cake in the morning, the door’s unlocked, and apologizes because he will be late. Definitely. He’s bringing a guest, though; they both just need some sleep first.

My cupcakes are so spongey and moist =3=

Yes! Wow indeed! :D I'm sure you make them so wonderfully! <3 I wish we lived closer, sis, so we could bake stuff together! Maybe we could make a CB-themed cake if we find a good recipe and the right decorations! If I ever get more money (if a family business will hire me now or in two years when most stores/companies usually hire), I shall save up, so we can finally see each other! ; o ; Shirley Temple it is then! She does resemble Evvie quite a bit! :) *huggles*

Well, they’ve turned out well every time I’ve made them so far, so yay for that. :) And that would be lovely — CB-themed cakes are awesome. Or BTTF ones. Or Alice ones — though I think I’ve yet to see an AMA/A:MR-themed one yet. Damn it, I want some amusingly fake-bloody cake with a vorpal blade stuck in it. XD *huggle* w00t! :)

Ikr!? <3 How can people create such masterpieces!? It is incredible! Speaking of cakes, I really ought to cook or bake stuff more. We learned cooking in Home Ec. last year and I made a crepe! It was so much fun and I looked through a cookbook and found so many lovely recipes! :) Yep! I'm not sure who to use as an FC though. I was thinking either Alicia Morton or Shirley Temple! Yep! So fetch! XD Ah, thank you, dear! I shall try! *hugs*

I dunno! They’re just — wooooow. :D And baking can be fun — I actually quite enjoy making my muffins every twelve days or so. There’s just a feeling of accomplishment to putting at the ingredients together, sticking them in a stove, and then getting puffy muffins out of it. :) Shirley Temple might be fun, I think. :D And you’re welcome! *hugs*

I'm in such a baking kind of mood nowadays. My dad found the old breadmaker out in the garage, so I'm going to start looking up recipes for different breads and start holiday baking early this year. I only plan on making scones, cookies, muffins, maybe a cake or two. I just love baking so much, oh my goodness.
