Anyone have a favourite dystopian cupcake recipe? Asking for a friend.

#Baking #Dystopia #WhatAreWeEvenDoing

@StaceyCornelius I just made some stuffed waffles becaus regular waffles aren't enough
@giflian You are my hero. Seriously. OMG

@StaceyCornelius the dark marks are probably from lemon curd leaking out (it's stuffed during, not after).

In the past I've found older recipes, like from my mom's 60s cookbook, as being especially tasty and only expecting easy-to-find ingredients. Someday I'll try them out with gluten-free flour.

@giflian @StaceyCornelius I came across this post with the content warning first so I didn’t have context and thought “don’t remember any cat named Waffle” and was surprised to see the food 🤣
Shows you where my brain is at.
Looks yummy. I now want waffles 🧇

@StaceyCornelius @stephaniepixie I don't think I'd content-warning a photo of a dead cat, unless it were dead in the photo; and if it were dead in the photo why would I post that? Especially not on Caturday.

I think I've met a cat named Waffle before. It might be dead by now.

@giflian I wasn’t eve thinking of death. Some people put cats behind a content warning for effect or intense staring or whatever.

@stephaniepixie well my going to death shows where my head is at I guess.

I should probably CW my cat photos where they're looking at the camera. I guess because I don't have a problem with cat eye contact I don't think about it

@giflian I tend not to put eye contact behind a CW unless it’s a major closeup. I make a point of writing the word eye/s in the alt text if someone wants to mute.
I hope you don’t have too much death on the mind.

@stephaniepixie oh just the usual amount of death.

When I'm not thinking what sort of recipe would work for dystopia cupcakes

Now you've got me nostalgic about pumpkin scones.
@StaceyCornelius
@StaceyCornelius …start with the back end of an incontinent horse…

@StaceyCornelius
1 tbs of whatever you count as flour - wheat, corn, chickpea, almond, pea, you name it
1 tbs of whatever you count as cocoa - carob, chichory, cereal coffees
1 tbs whatever you count as milk - soy, almond, cocoa, rice, you know your not-milk drinks
1/2 tbs whatever you count as honey - molasses, agave syrup, other syrup
1 egg

mix together in your cup
nuke in microwave for 60 to 90 sec, bake in oven, set into your fire's embers

- yes, you will have to experiment with the baking time for whatever ingredients you use -

@StaceyCornelius

Can't say that I've tried these, but they sure look the part...

@Fishercat Whoa! They look fun, but Mountain Dew is kind of ew.
@Fishercat I only have vague Mountain Dew memories from childhood but seeing that can kind of made my teeth hurt 😁
@StaceyCornelius Yup. It's gross, all right. And a very disturbing color.
@StaceyCornelius
My mom used to make them for Easter , on top a circle of coconut and 3 jelly beans in the middle.
I can't remember if she dyed the coconut or not .
