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.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I wonder what flavour the cake was. Not sure why that makes a difference, but one does wonder about the creamy filling.
It's mentioned in the text. Lemon with raspberry filling or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear from you, Laura! Sorry the SiL sucks, but glad things are more or less OK.
Penis cakes often make me roll my eyes, but I've never seen one with such... detail.

OMG annoying: I just got the contact info about a friend of a friend, so I can tell him how NYC is so expensive. And then I missed a call from someone I don't like that much, but she didn't leave a message, so I don't have to call back, right?
AND I've just decided I want to go out tomorrow night for Halloween, but I have a shitload of homework to do this week, so I'd better do more now, but I don't wanna. Bleh.
