Pairings/Characters: Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin
Rating: Explicit
Length: 10,281 words / 1hr podfic
Creator Links: thehoyden on AO3, exmanhater on AO3
Theme: Food & Cooking
Summary: Unlike Nealsy, Evgeni can cook his own food when he has it. He’s perfectly capable of making breakfast. His kitchen is well-equipped, and he’s got some good basic cooking skills down. In short, he is not going to starve to death if left to his own devices.
None of this seems to matter to Sid.
Reccer's Notes: This is a story about seduction by breakfast. As the title says, there is a clear game plan at work here -- possibly more than one. Much of the charm of the story is in how oblivious the determined seducer is to the effect he is having and how bewildered his target is that it's not clear how willing he is to be seduced.
Bonus: the descriptions of the ever-more-elaborate breakfasts are fantastic.
There's an accompanying podfic by exmanhater that is a delicious listen as well.

cakewrecks_feedIt took me forever to realize this wedding cake was supposed to have a Simpsons theme:
Mmmmm. Paaaaaper.
And yes, you read that right: this was a WEDDING CAKE.
I especially like the way the sides transition seamlessly from edible paper to airbrushed fondant:
SEAMLESS.
Oh, and Bart's chalkboard reads, "I will not lick the wedding cake."
I guess there wasn't room for "...not if you paid me a million dollars."
Thanks to Meredith who thinks we should RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!

SGA: Clean Plate Club by yin_again
Sep. 5th, 2025 12:52 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Evan Lorne, Simpson, Radek Zelenka, Laura Cadman, Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill, Stackhouse/ Markham
Rating: Explicit
Length: 7963
Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings apply
Creator Links: yin's old site on Wayback, yin_again on AO3, yin on LJ
Themes: Food and cooking, First time, Complete AU
Summary: Rodney looked at the prep area and nodded decisively. "How do you feel about waffles?"
"I love waffles," John said with a grin.
Reccer's Notes: This is the initial and main story in yin's Clean Plate Club 'verse, in which John's a sought-after photographer and Rodney's a chef turned food stylist (he prepares and arranges food for perfect photo shoots). It's a fun meet-cute with clever dialogue, great characterisation and a very hot first time. It's enormous fun, even if the "hero food" meticulously arranged by Rodney is actually dressed with glycerine and motor oil!
Fanwork Links: Clean Plate Club on Wayback (scroll down a little and you'll see this fic and the others in the 'verse.)
And yin also recorded it as a podfic, here.

ONE DIRECTION: LEAVE IT TO THE BREEZE
Sep. 4th, 2025 11:28 amdenynothing1 posting in fancakeFandom: One Direction
Pairings/Characters: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan/Zayne Malik
Rating: Explicit
Length: 81,459 words / 9.5hr podfic
Creator Links: hattalove on AO3, frecklebomb on AO3
Theme: Food & Cooking
Summary: Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter.
Or, a Great British Bake Off AU in which Louis cares about winning and winning only, Harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and Niall sticks his nose into other people's business. Also featuring Liam as Louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and Zayn as a macaron connoisseur.
Reccer's Notes: I love GBBO AUs to pieces and this is one of the very best I've found. This story features characters in their early 20s who love baking for a variety of reasons. They are mostly charming but can be very stressed and vulnerable. They find joy in being good at what they can do with batter and dough, but can also be tough on themselves as well as others. IOW you've seen these characters on the show itself at times. : )
There's an enemies-to-lovers progression happening for one half of the main pairing that is exasperating and very human until it reaches the point where it's also very hot and very fun. The writer deserves a cake stand and a big bouquet for managing to weave all these elements together into a very satisfying story.
There's a marvelous podfic version of the story by frecklebomb as well. It's one of my favorite listens.

Vehicular Cakeslaughter
Sep. 4th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedEvery now and then - and I'm not saying this happens often - professional bakers have a little trouble making cakes that look like...well, anything.
Perhaps hardest of all is the vehicle cake. There's just something about all those shapes and circles and squares that drives even the most hardened Shop-a-Lot Davinci to edible clip art with the watermarks still on:
Now, if only we had a picture of chocolate drizzle and sprinkles...
So let's say you want KITT from Knight Rider on your cake:
Binka binka binka binka dinka binka dinka binka...
[That was me singing the theme song. Obviously.]
Rather than attempt the entire car, your baker might try to home in on KITT's most distinguishing feature:
The ketchup-and-mustard smear under his seat.
Or how about this tractor?
At first glance, you might think this could be broken down into a simple drawing of two boxes on two wheels.
BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG.
It's an extremely complicated design, and rendering it in icing is so unbelievably difficult that the finished product would be far beyond the bounds of mere mortal comprehension.
Yeah. Like that.
And finally, let's say your child wants a school bus cake:
(Oh, you know this is going to be good.)
You might end up with this:
It's not small. It's "fun sized!"
Wait. Can a bus be flaccid?
Thanks to Andie K., Brooke & Mike K., Lea B., & Pete H. for keeping us on track today.
*****
P.S. Did you know you can buy the entire series of Knight Rider on Blu-Ray for only $34? That's less than the DVD set!
Knight Rider, The Complete Series
I haven't see this show since I was about 10, so I'm curious if it holds up. If not, then I hope it's hilariously bad; anything in the middle is just boring. :p

Sep. 3rd, 2025 07:24 pmcakewrecks_feedWhen it comes to powerfully good cake, the choice is (nu)clear:
And here's some fuel for thought: this wasn't a special order. It was just out in the display case, on the off chance someone was having a nuclear power plant themed occasion worth celebrating.
HOW WELL THEY KNOW ME.
Thanks to Clare M. for the rad wreckporting.

It's Baaaa-aaaack
Sep. 2nd, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedYesterday I sensed a great celebration in the Force. As if a billion stay-at-home parents suddenly cried out, and then poured themselves a margarita.
Oh, is school back in session?
Thaaaat explains it.
Plus, now I know why I've been seeing cakes with random office supplies thrown on them:
Oh! And what "TOSCHOL" is!
That black square with the red squiggle, however, remains a mystery.
Now, kids, I know it may not seem like it now, but going to school really is a good thing.
For your parents, I mean. Sucks to be you!! Haha!
Ahem.
I'm sorry.
What I meant was, education is an important, vital aspect of your development, and the places we go to receive our education should be treated with the proper respect.
Now, is it easy? Of course not! After all, these places will make you [shudder] "Back ---- To The Books (Study)":
You have no idea how much I'd like to scratch out "books" and write in "Future." Then I'd replace "study" with "McFly."
Oooh, cake graffiti! Why hasn't this been done before??
[NOTE: I here at Cake Wrecks do not endorse, condone, or solicit illegal cake defacing.]
[Unless you're paid to do it.]
[Glad we cleared that up.]
['Nother Note: I'd give you $5. Just sayin'.]
Look, bottom line:
Totally.
So run along and have fun, dears! I think today I'll sit around and play Overwatch while eating Marshmallow fluff straight out of the jar. Degree-holding adult, right here! Stay in shool!
Thanks to Wendy F., Doug, Marissa S., Megan C., Kristin J., and Allison V. for the education.

P.S. Tell me mine isn't the only brain that went straight to this after that last cake:
School House Rock! 30th Anniversary DVD
Aw yeah, catchy songs AND educational. Good stuff.
