Hello, it's me again with a question about BSC90%.
How do you pick which baking term to use for each chapter? I love how the first chapter is titled emulsion and the ddc chapter is blooming while the latest one is softened so I wondered if you have a process. Do you have them all picked before posting or does anything change last minute?
Okay those were several questions, sorry. Have a great day and once again thank you for writing the most wonderful KP fics <33
Ahh hello hi, I adore you fjksdjgh.
Originally, when the fic was just ten chapters long, I had all ten baking terms chosen in parallel to the "climax" of each chapter. But as the story got longer, I needed to add more terms, and that actually becomes the last part of the chapter that I write.
Chapter 1 is called "Emulsion" because that's what Kim has to do with the Bakery (become a part of it) even though he can't do the same for his own family.
Chapter 7 is called "Blooming" because, well, Kim's feelings beyond a sexual attraction start to bloom there (the moment he sees Chay outside of the Bakery setting.) And because gelatin has to "bloom" before it's used, Kim is sort of like that too.
And Chapter 10 is "Softened" because Kim has tremendously softened towards Chay (and Chay towards Kim, in his own way). But, in the end, there's a reason why someone has to softened butter. ;-;
And yes! I love baking. I started baking for my local masjid during Ramadan when some of the elders had to pass up on the usual sweets (because of diabetes and such.) So I started making more Western desserts, just with a lot less sugar, and found I was sort of okay at it. I wanted to bake each of the recipes that show up in BSC90 alongside writing the chapters, but I severely overestimated how much time that would take.
This is such a great question because I don't get to talk about the process behind BSC90 a lot so thank you! Also, I am blushing, you're too kind to me, it's so lovely to have you reading along. :3
