excuuuuuse me, coming through! 🐟💨

I’ve basically been writing Organa’s Organics for a month now. 15 parts and 55,000 words later… It’s so nerve wracking to put myself out there and at the same time so exhilarating to see comments and kudos on my work, and to get the email from Ao3 everyday saying “You’ve got kudos!” And it seems like almost every day, one or two new people have discovered the first bits of the series and gone through and read and kudo’d every part. Obviously feeling a little emotional about it this morning. So if you follow me here because I write Organa’s Organics, thank you.

Who Me?

I started a job and entered an office cake culture. My manager made cakes every leaving and birthday for the other employees. Great, I thought, loads of cake. They made pretty complicated recipes (in my eyes) there was an hour put into each one at least.

I thought it was great until I realised they weren’t making one for an intern who was leaving. Went to sainsburys on my way home and followed the recipe on a back of a marshmallow packet for rocky road (I’ll add this one later, it deserves to be re-blogged rather than on the back of recyclable plastic). Not going to lie, that rocky road outdid the complicated bakes.

Unfortunately, my manager left, and somehow the mantle had fallen to me to make the cakes. 

I work late and have an hour and a half commute. Not unusual for me to get back at 9pm. 

So screw sponges (they’re crappy tasting anyway), and screw spending shitloads of money on loads of ingredients. Oh and I need to make it in under half an hour.

I’ve been burned by cake before...

“What kind of cake is it?”

“I don’t know. Why don’t you go look?”

“I don’t want to expend energy unless I know it’s worth it. I’ve been burned by cake before.”

“Haven’t we all...”

I hate it when women criticise other women on what they eat. Someone's birthday here at the office and someone got a plate of cake and another women said 'oh that's so much food on your plate' Seriously. It's not your body and none of your business. It didn't deter me from having some mini cupcakes though. They were nice!!
