We’ve come a long way from the days when amateur bakers crafted dessert ramen bowls and terrariums with little more than fondant and edible paint
Photo: @redrosecake_tubageckil/Instagram After a weekend spent watching videos of people slicing open highly decorative cakes that look like household objects, my expectations of life have shifted, becoming incredibly unrealistic. I ask my boyfriend to get me a coffee. He says, “Okay.” I say, “Actually, make that a coffee that I can cut open, revealing it is in fact a cake.” I tell him he can take as much time as he needs to fulfill my request. He says, “No.

We’ve come a long way from the days when Britain’s best amateur bakers crafted dessert ramen bowls and terrariums with little more than fondant and edible paint. Now everything is suspect because it might be cake. But for the sake of my morning coffee and cherished relationships with other people, I’ll go on pretending it definitely isn’t.
