Cake Time

It started with a simple plan: one cake, three plushies, and a peaceful afternoon of decorating.

It turned into an emotionally charged culinary arts competition where frosting dreams were made—and melted.

Pandy brought aprons. Mini Blue brought precision.
I brought… enthusiasm. And five kinds of frosting. (All open. Immediately.)

Round 1: Base Coating

Pandy smoothed the frosting like a zen garden. “Even layers,” he murmured. “Calm cake. Calm mind.”
I frosted mine like a snowstorm made of sugar. It looked deliciously chaotic.
Mini Blue tapped once—tap—with a piping tip. Just a single swirl. Minimal. Majestic.

Mini Blue color: mint green = focused artistry.

Round 2: Themed Design

Pandy’s Cake: A delicate garden scene made of edible flowers and lemon zest. Balanced. Quietly confident.
Doggie’s Cake: A tribute to “snacks I’ve loved,” with cookie shards, cereal bits, and a gummy bear pyramid on top. Possibly unstable.
Mini Blue’s Cake: One white glaze wave. One sprinkle. Dead center. The room went silent.

Mini Blue glowed soft gold. Even the gummy bears bowed.

Round 3: Taste Testing (Optional, But I Insisted)

We sampled each slice. Pandy’s was elegant and lemony.
Mine had… texture. Crunch. A surprise marshmallow in layer two.
Mini Blue’s had the perfect balance of sugar and mystery. I blinked. “How…?”

They shrugged and changed to lilac. Modest genius.

Final Judging

We each awarded stars on edible rice paper:

• Doggie’s Cake: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for spirit. ⭐ for structural integrity.
  
  

• Pandy’s Cake: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for beauty. Half ⭐ removed for lemon zest on my nose.
  
  

• Mini Blue’s Cake: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for restraint, mystique, and sprinkle control.
  
  

No one really won. Except the cake.

Doggie’s Icing-on-the-Top Takeaway

There’s no wrong way to cake a cake. Whether you express your heart through symmetrical fondant flowers or by launching a marshmallow into frosting orbit, decorating is about joy.

And yes, I licked the piping bag. For science.
