That cake is brilliant. I was expecting the standard bridal-shower thing. Great write-up too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder what flavour the cake was. Not sure why that makes a difference, but one does wonder about the creamy filling.
I'm normally leery about googling medical issues, but I wanted some indication of the usefulness of seeking different levels of medical care for migraines and/or head injuries. Cleared up one thing -- those silly flashy lights that I started seeing last week were totally auras. D'oh.

Kingfishers! I haven't seen kingfishers in ages. I was on my way home from the grocery store when I spotted these guys looking for their own dinner.

It's mentioned in the text. Lemon with raspberry filling or something.

white cake with buttercream frosting and raspberry jam with lemon custard as filling
Aha. So it is.
Odd how a gnarly penis can drive the details from your brain. Does that description mean the jam is underneath the frosting?

Great pictures, dcp! I don't believe I've ever seen kingfishers in the wild, I'm not sure if we get them around here.
I've seen double fillings between layers -- the custard could be firm enough to glop on the raspberry jam, or else you could use three layers....

Since the night I decided to quit chocolate, I've been hallucinating brownies with chocolate frosting over raspberry jam.
It's very sad.

I'm sad for you, ita.
I'm supposed to cut way back on my chocolate consumption, and I'm finding it very hard.

Wish I could lend you folks my take-it-or-leave-it ambivalence about chocolate. Though I suppose if I didn't have it, my cholesterol count would be over 500 by now...

How long have you been cutting back, Sue?
