My friend requested a Cake Wreck-y sheet cake, and trying to convey intentionally bad decoration is surprisingly hard! Plus: my “EVE Talk” on eros and katsudon.

Katsudon Fatale for Two
“I’m the katsudon fatale that enthralls men.”
“I’ll save you every time” – Twin Peaks Cake
Or, that time when I made my partner a Twin Peaks cake and accidentally wrote Cooper/Truman fanfiction
’80s Business-Lady Cake
I spent a lot of my formative years using dot-matrix paper as scrap paper from my dad’s office, so the design I decided on was a dot-matrix printer image of Kate Beaton’s ’80s Businesswoman. I think I achieved effect of the roughness of the dot matrix printing and that sort of awkward homemade/Cake Wreck piping here.
“I measure the time and I stand amazed” – Orcas Island
A year ago, my best friend* and I took a day-hiking trip to Orcas Island on President’s Day. We left at 5:30 in the morning to find the first Zip Car’s keys were missing; got a ticket in a speed trap in Skagit County; didn’t pack enough food; weren’t able to get food at the brewery where…
Star Wars Gingerbread
Silly name aside, if you’re a geek in Seattle this holiday season, you must check out the Sheraton Hotel’s annual (and free) gingerbread village “May the Holidays Be With You.” That’s right, Star Wars-themed gingerbread to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Here’s some photos I took last weekend!
Pixelated 1-Up Cake (Mario Bros.)
The weekend I made the rainbow cake for my girlfrond*, I also made a birthday cake for my friend P, who requested some Mario pixel art.
Rainbow Roll Cake with Homemade Sprinkles
Somehow in a conversation about fairy bread last year, my now-partner confessed to me that they love sprinkles. Loves them. So, with a birthday coming up during Pride Month, what would be more festive that the loudest cake ever–complete with homemade sprinkles?
Wine and Cake for Hannibal
On Feeding Hannibal: “A Heart-You-Will” Hannidinner (by me!)
Sprinklebakes’ Anatomical Heart Cake
At some point over the last summer I started collecting anatomical heart designs after I found a necklace shaped like one in the Pacific Science Center. A heart, after all, is not heart-shaped. In design, an anatomical heart is a scientific representation of an emotional metaphor. Blame Sherlock or Frankenstein MD or Hannibal for encouraging this aesthetic, but I am enjoying decorating my new place with vintage culinary and medical drawings.
Fandom Food: Twin Peaks (Snoqualmie Falls, WA)
Last weekend, I took a trip I’ve been wanting to do for awhile: Snoqualmie Falls, famous for being the area where a lot of Twin Peaks was filmed.
Double Coconut Brownies (Dairy-Free)
This recipe is dairy-free if you are using vegan baker’s chocolate. If you want to glaze or frost it, you can use non-dairy milk for a glaze or my favorite vegan buttercream, but the brownies are rich and moist without it.
