Cake Cravings
Being excitable and eager to share his joy, Shiny was approaching his hatchday time of the year. Being used to occasionally having sweets and liking to bake pastries and desserts with the berries from his garden for all sorts of occasions, it was going to be a fun time in the kitchen again.
Sometimes it would be poffins, a brownie or simply a sugarcoated bowl of fruit bites, but given the nice circumstance he received a little basket with strawberries the other day for a well done errand run.
Shiny's plans were to bake a yummy strawberry short cake for Totodile's Day this year around.
Things were progressing nicely, the Totodile had decided to color inside the cake batter, whisking away while humming. Not too long after the batter went into the buttered up spring form, it got placed inside the oven and Shiny advanced towards preparing the strawberries.
Some of the berries he'd put inside a blender to turn into mousse, then put that on the stove while mixing it with some sugar and marshmallow until it became a sweet rosy icing. The rest of the strawberries he left on a cutting board to include inside his hatchday cake later.
Shiny wagged his tail over the sweet scent surrounding him. His mouth was watering up already at the thought of a nice slice of that cake.
*ding* The oven chimed. The cake was ready. Shiny went and tested it with a toothpick if any batter of the cake might be still unbaked. It turned out all good though.
Leaving the sponge cake to rest to cool down, Shiny filled the piping bag with half of the strawberry icing. The bag rested in a measuring cup with lukewarm water to make it later easier for him to spread the sugary paste on his cake later on.
He then thought, he might add a little crunchy glaze for the whole strawberries he'd put on top of the cake in the end. Quickly some sugar was melted into caramel and some skewered strawberries Shiny swirled around through the sugar to give them a thin glass-like coating.
Shiny enjoyed the reflective shine and sat them down to the side so he could now cut the cake. Beforehand he started to clean up until the cake was down to room temperature though.
Carefully the Totodile cut the sponge cake into two halves, then he picked up his icing and squeezed it out of the tip to create a nice layer strawberry marshmallow cream. Shiny also spread an assortment of strawberry slices in a circular pattern into the icing to add more of the fruity goodness.
After the second layer of cake, Shiny had a jolly time putting an extra portion of icing on his cake, then place the sugary whole strawberries on it and then yet again making cute swirls of icing.
The Totodile ended up using a bit much icing there and somehow lost track as he somehow had forgotten to cover up the sides of the cake.
Looking at the cake though with its colorful layers, the jolly Totodude didn't seem to mind though and cheered over the nice crown made of icing and strawberries. What a fun little cake he baked! =D
What I can absolutely tell, Shiny's cake surely would make for a tasty treat when it became time for it to be shared with his dudes and together they'd all have a wonderful time. And knowing much about a sweet-tooth's joy, maybe you even bring your favorite kind of cake to make this Totodile's Day even sweeter.
Because you all know, you can easily bait Shiny with some dreamy-sweet treat. (~^.=.^~) 🎂
HAPPY TOTODILE'S DAY everyone!
I occasionally visit by the crafts section and highly enjoy picking up design blocks with various sheets of colorful paper sheets. They look so pretty and I feel like for stationary ideas as well as for crafts they just look way nice. Plus, at least for what I have found, they usually are quite affordable, too. It sure is nice to imagine the most random to some neatly color-coded combinations.
I went and picked out one of my many Totodile scribbles to turn into a proper artwork, scanned it, added Shiny's accessories and then printed out several copies to make templates from. Cutting the templates out and tracing the shapes onto the design paper sheets and then cutting those out, were all going pretty smoothly as I was lucky enough not to have drawn too many steep angles that might be a bit difficult to cut the shape out.
Down the way I had to consider in what layers I will apply each section, but that wasn't too complicated either. What was a bit of a challenge was trying to nicely trace the marker lines, plus the gluing part. I somehow am so clumsy with anything related to glue. Would not want to ruin a craft by accidentally drawing at the wrong spots and having to cut out all the paper for a second time. XD
Anyways, the final result you see here is a photo of my Totodile's Day card that I only touched up by slightly increasing brightness and saturation. as well as adding the font for it because at that point cutting out every letter individually would have made it difficult for me to finish everything in time.
I'm happy with the results. Love how sparkly Shiny turned out. ✨
The initial idea for my scribble was based on how cartoon characters sometimes take a whiff of a delicious scent and that just makes them flutter happily over to that location. In this case I guess Shiny must have been having a nice daydream of his own cake there, which in itself likely would make a nice snack for any Pokémon with Dream Eater, hehehe. X3
I myself would gladly try some of that cake either. As it's my birthday again, I look forward to getting to enjoy some sweet nummies soon enough. More importantly though:
I wish all of you to treat yourself the best possible and hope that my submission added to your day.
Do you have any favorite kind of cake? Do you perhaps prefer a stack of waffles? And what other than snacks you'd enjoy bringing to Shiny's party? Happy to listen to your ideas down in the comments.
Thanks for reading and thanks for always staying totodily awesome, dudes! 🎈(~.=.o)🎉
