THE SAD TALE OF EMO CAKE
Apr. 10th, 2010 10:20 pmI don't have a Twitter account. But if I did, my Saturday would have looked like this:
hey! @josielong has a bake-off show. i can totally bake a #cakeforjosie
except no one likes gluten free cakes. gf cakes are the sad, lonely emos of cakedom.
wait! CONCEPT #CAKEFORJOSIE!
package mix is ok for #cakeforjosie, isn't it? isn't it?
in kitchen. [sings] baking a cake for @joiselong, baking a #cakeforjosie
#cakeforjosie in oven. smells good so far.
oh! her blog says @josielong can't eat gluten. my cake is gluten-free. #cakeforjosie wins!
@josielong can't have sugar, either. #cakeforjosie is made from pure sugar. :(
#cakeforjosie is cooked! hm. bit lumpy.
#cakeforjoise needs ganache to hide lumps. to the shops!
ganache = Green&Blacks dark choc, vanilla soy yoghurt, chopped mandarin peel. #cakeforjoise = win again.
running out of time. ganache sets in the freezer, right?
where's the icing sugar? i thought we had icing sugar. back to shops.
no icing sugar in shop. WHAT?! EMERGENCY! #CAKEFORJOSIE MUST BE DECORATED!
sod it. using desiccated coconut instead.
oh. so THAT'S why da vinci never used desiccated coconut. bugger.
arh! even my pens don't work! the universe hates #cakeforjosie
#cakeforjosie done. if this was sparta, we'd leave it out on the hillside overnight to die.
#cakeforjosie is now #EMOCAKE - the cake that cuts itself.
off to see @josielong!
standing in queue. do-i-feel-like-a-creepy-fanboy-stalker meter: 6/10.
so many cakes! all so pretty! #emocake feels ugly and unloved.
claudia o'doherty thought #emocake's haircut was a lightning bolt. does not bode well.
@josielong just gave out cake prizes. #emocake did not win any.
first taste of #emocake. um. should have put mandarin peel in cake mix, not ganache.
people are eating cake. lots of cakes. just not #emocake.
#emocake is trying not to cry.
wait! @josielong just saved tiny slice of #emocake... FOR HER BIRTHDAY!
held actual conversation with @josielong. very proud. did not squeal like a schoolgirl once.
that'll do, #emocake, that'll do.

TWIST ENDING: I now have a Twitter account! You never saw that coming, did you?
