Today, as part of a belated birthday party, Pei and Aisha made me a really awesome dragon cake. It was really tastey~ It’s really pretty too! They worked really hard on it, and I truly appreciate it. This was one of the most heartfelt birthday gifts I’ve ever recieved, and I’m going to remember it for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, due to my neglect, the cake got a little squashed on the way home. I had placed it on the seat beside me, thinking it would be safe. I was wrong. The bus stopped sharply at a red light, and the cake slid off of the seat, onto the floor. However, very luckily, Pei had saran-wrapped the cake quite thoroughly, saving my dragon from a bus-floory demise. I immediately apologized to Pei, but I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like any amount of apology will be enough.

So, as soon as I got home, I grabbed a butter knife and tried to reconstruct the damaged cake as much as I could. Since he lost a lot of icing, (I got kind of attached, so I did end up naming him) Yurichi was looking a little thin. Through careful distribution of what was left, I was able to return him to a somewhat decent state.

I really should’ve been more careful in the first place, and it never would’ve happened. Even worse, Pei was there to see it, after she and Aisha had put in so much time, effort, and love into making it. I know it’s probably not necessary, but I’ll be baking some thing/things, for a certain photoshoot, but also as a way to try to make up for my carelessness today. Please look forward to it/them~
