What’s Butter Baking?

Pongo’s Birthday Cake Disaster

Hi everybun! This month for Pongo’s birthday cake, I decided to make him a birthday cake with a chiffon base instead of the usual angel food cake that I usually make (because Purin is usually the culprit that finishes off the desserts, so I have to at least make an attempt to protect his risk against type 2 diabetes).

I still wanted it to be light and fluffy but a bit more dense than an angel food cake! Anyways I followed a standard recipe (she always goes for the recipe with the best backstory) and added sprinkles in the batter to get that rainbow cake mix look! It turned out perfect. Just as I was getting ready to decorate it, all of a sudden I hear this AGITATING, GRATING voice, and felt a sense of imminent doom. Tomaki flies in, screaming with a baseball bat, and smashes the edge of the cake. “I THINK I GOT IT” he yells and then looks up at me in terror… I gave him three seconds to run but I caught up and beat him with the bat. I was so upset about the cake but Kumi came in afterwards (all that screaming and beating woke her up) suggesting I just cut the cake into the shape of Pongo’s hat. It was a great idea!
So I cut off the edges to make a triangle and fed the scraps to Purin (minus the baseball bat and fly part of the cake). I think it turned out amazing, if I do say so myself. Although, it only matters if Pongo likes it!

Kumi’s Anime Recommendation

Hey everybun. Kumi here. I’m back with another interesting anime I’m confident you will all enjoy(You can send me your thanks in advance). This anime for this month is called “How I Attended An All Guy’s Mixer”. The anime starts off with college student Tokiwa getting invited by his female classmate, Suo, to attend a mixer party. But when him and his friends arrive at said party, they come across 3 other “men”.

To their surprise, these men actually happen to be women crossdressing as men because they actually run a crossdressing bar. I personally enjoyed this anime very much due to how well each pairing has their own dynamic. And I truly resonate with one particular character named Fuji. She’s a BL artist and whenever she requires references for her, the guy she’s “dating”(but not really dating) just does everything she says with no question when she needs something from him.

He kind of reminds me of Pongo sometimes. I admire her confidence and ability to have that kind of aura around her. Reminds me of myself honestlysmirks and giggles Anyway, this anime is filled with laughter and it’s amusing to see these men become so conflicted with their identities and what kind of people they actually want to date.

Tomaki’s Mixology Madness

Pongo’s Birthday Drink

Hey everybun! It’s your bunboy, Tomaki!!! I wanted to share my recipe for a delicious mocktail catered for Pongo! His birthday is right around the corner and I’ve decided to create something that I know he would enjoy. Please try out this recipe at home if you’re not a drinker yourself! This recipe is kind of a combo of a Sunrise Mocktail and a Gummy Bear fizz.

Pongo loves his fruity drinks and I noticed that he always has gummy bears in his pocket, bag, nightstand, pretty much everywhere! So what I did for his birthday drink is to start the base with some orange juice and some sort of lemon lime soda filled to the top with ice. Then, what you want to do here to get that cool sunrise/sunset effect is to slowly pour grenadine at the top so that it sits on the rest of the drink (you can tilt a spoon into the drink and pour the grenadine in that way if you have trouble achieving that gradient effect)! And lastly, I topped it with his favorite red, blue, and green gummy bears to give it that pop of color.

This drink is super yummy and easy to make! I’ve been experimenting lately to try and make everybun a drink that I know they would really love! I hope you guys at home can try and make Pongo’s special drink at home too!

Pongo’s Book Club

Hello every bun. I have finished a new exciting book. It is called “Call of the Camino”. It is dual narrative book about two women that walk through the Camino de Santiago at different time periods. The book was okay. I was more interested in the actual Camino de Santiago.

It is an ancient network of pilgrim routes throughout Spain that are as long as 500 miles! It was originally a pilgrimage route for Christians, which is why there are many beautiful cathedrals and churches to see in almost every city. In modern times though, many people take it for all sorts of reasons.

Some still do it for religious reasons, some do it as a spiritual journey to figure out what they want to do in life, others do it to challenge themselves physically. I think Tomaki would do it just to tell us that he did it. I don’t think there’s any amount of sweets or games we could bribe Purin with to get him to do it. I don’t think Butter or Kumi would want to, so if I were to ever try walking the Camino, I would have to go with Tomaki.

Kumi’s Pick!

Kumi has been obsessing over her recent pick up from her last trip in Japan, which is a mix and match eye shadow palette! She loves a little glitter and some pink on her eyes every now and then~ It’s small and portable and it allows her to do any touch ups on her days and nights out!

Pongo’s Pick!

This is an interesting one. Usually Butter is the type to get motion sick, but to everybun’s surprise Pongo also gets sick! It’s just that he’s better at hiding it (we don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing…) He likes to carry around what is called an etiquette disposable bag. It’s mainly used for when you’re not feeling to well and start to feel nauseous and you don’t have a bathroom to run to. This really helps him especially during long trips on the road~

Butter’s Pick!

If Butter isn’t baking, she’s journaling! She loves compiling random things when she journals, whether it be some pretty tag she got from something she bought or pictures they take during their outings! She HEAVILY decorates her journal entries with bupuri deco stickers because it only makes sense to, right? It’s her way of decompressing after the buns like to test her patience sometimes.
