IDK the hilarity (and awesome-ness) of a punk-rocky baker just hit me.
Yeah, she doesn't look like the stereotype of a cake baker. Not that that's a bad thing, in fact it makes her more interesting.
Not so strange given that punk values DIY of all kinds. I was slightly disappointed to see eggs on the table though... ;)
You mean she should be a vegan? That would be a pretty good way to lose. :D
Yeah.
I watched "Cupcake Wars" before I had to cancel TV service, and the vegan bakers always lost: it is extremely difficult to make a delicious vegan recipe, especially on the fly, particularly when it has to appeal to a wide variety of people that includes non-vegans.
Safest bet is a full-calorie, dairy, and eggs recipe!
Google it, CW had more than one vegan winner this year...
I haven't had TV in about 2yrs, only had internet access for about 6 months.
If the majority of winners are still non-vegan, then that is still the safest bet.
If she's a pro, why is she using a recipe book?
Cookbook, no problem, but one titled ABCs ... (of Cooking, presumably)?
Because she can.
Maybe it's "The ABC of advanced baking"? Or maybe Alexa is the author?
And are they professionals? For all I know, the national bakeoff might be a competition between skilled hobbyists.
Zoomed in, looks like "ABC's of Home Emery"....and the spine says Rosemarie De~(off panel)~
...sandpaper cake?
...or it could be "Heg- emony" but split across the line break...so...world domination cake? that sounds better.
Many professional musicians play from sheet.
Because remembering all the quantities is complex and risky?
With 100 grams of this and 320 grams of that, following the recipe is the smart thing to do.
Even if she has her own recipes somewhere doesn't mean some aren't straight from/ based on book recipes. Also for all we know she has tweaks scribbled in the margins.
I just want to eat a piece of that cake!
(And I know it's a long way off, but I am already concerned how that story for LUST will develop.)
Her mitts
Her apron
I... I want them
Her apron is a poison warning label! Don't eat the cake!
The cake is safe, it's the cupcakes we gotta watch out for.
No, the cake is a lie...
The cupcakes are a lie.
I actually dreamed that I was a food tester at this event the other night.
Not a hairnet to be seen.
Looking forward to the new chapter + characters! Will we ever see all the main characters interact though, or are the stories gonna remain relatively stand-alone?
Also, the link for a signed and sketched pre-order of Darken isn't working. Is that not available anymore..? (Link: [http://widdershins.storenvy...](http://widdershins.storenvy.com/products/1709886-darken-vol-1-signed-edition "http://widdershins.storenvy.com/products/1709886-darken-vol-1-signed-edition") )
On the first question:
On the second: I decided to halt preorders of the signed version since I have so many to do, I want to clear out the backlog before I take any more on! The plain version is still orderable though :)
Cupcake and crossbones with matching skeletal oven mitt. That should be for sale online somewhere, I swear!
I agree!!!! Make that apron and oven mitt real so that I can give you my money!
Mfw I was at the London comic-con on the 6th, and I walked right past (what I think) was your stall, without knowing.
Only now, when I finally begin to read this comic, has this realization hit me.
Ah, shame! I'll be at more though, have no fear :) Say hi next time, love it when people do that!
greatest apron or greatest apron
Loving her apron and oven mitts. :D
