EXCUSE ME, I say elbowing people off the couch, CUPCAKES ARE A NECESSARY EVIL! you know why??? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRASH WHO PRETEND NOT TO BE AND WON'T EAT A WHOLE CAKE IF I BAKE IT. If I bake any large thing, everyone is like 'oh noooo, I couldn't' even if I slice it up. If it's preportioned people's dumb brains go 'smol is fine' and they scarf it down. This rant brought to you by a homebaker who has seen many a whole cake LANGUISH UNEATEN while a tray of cupcakes get snarfed up ASAP
rainbowrites said: tho I hate those fake ass cupcakes that are basically just a vehicle for frosting. The frosting should be an ACCENT, not the WHOLE DAMN THING. Interestingly, I have very strong feelings on baking and bake a lot but do not actually eat too many of them! I am like “mmm two whole bites of the sweet thing. That is Enough.’ so I tend to exasperate my family by baking a ton and having about a crumb before trying to pawn it all off. I like those tiny pastries, since they’re too fussy to make myself
What I love so much, is that Rose was like lol gonna start some drama in the baked goods scene, and lo and behold not one thing I’ve talked about today, not even ragging on a Popular Tumblr Novel, would generate AS MANY FEELINGS FROM PEOPLE as the pastry post. I love you all, my chosen crew. Croissant Fandom.
Anyway rainbowrites is WHOLE ASS CORRECT, I’ve resorted to even making MINI raspberry-topped lemon muffins before just to lure people into eating them. Though also I think the mini ones with just one raspberry look more precious and snarfable. Maybe that’s it?? I mean here you are also being drawn to the tiny pastries, like the little petit fours….yes I realize I just little little…. Holy shit maybe this would explain the obsession with macarons, which I do not get, they’ve always just tasted “sweet” to me, but they’re always in lovely pastel colors, and also: smol!
