Cake decorator misreads "Elmo" as "Emo" and makes magic
Last week, a lady DMed me and asked me if I can make an emo cake, and I was thinking Yes, of course. I love emo and I love goth....I thought I was a little bit weird because I don’t know an emo four-year-old, but I was thinking, I was trying to reason with myself, maybe she just likes Wednesday or something like that.

Realizing how great the story was, she then made a new and improved Emo Elmo Cake:

When it comes to paperbacks, I love a good gimmick. These 1983 Dungeons & Dragons romance novels have gorgeous stepback covers and choose your own adventure narratives. Thanks @BGSU_PopCultLib @stegan for introducing me to these! See thread for more... pic.twitter.com/gUjBKSHiP0

(I saw a few at Amazon and ebay.)My mother wrote this. The heroine Chandelle is named after my sister. She wrote all of her other 200 books as Jean F. Blashfield but TSR insisted she write this under the more feminine “Jeannie”. She hated it.

#gbbo free from week is a cake inspired by the graph that gave me hope we could be free from covid (from the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine trial). Things are still complicated, but we would be in a much worse place without vaccines. pic.twitter.com/4crgxFW7hJ
