Less destruction to my kitchen and more to my frayed nerves on this one.
Chocolate brownies with raspberries and pistachio spread swirled on top. Hopefully it's ok because I used frozen berries like a moron and it needed extra baking time as a result.

Every once in a while, it's my turn to get cake for a change.
Half of a bloody nice chocolate cake in the staff room fridge, guarded by a hand written sign warning anyone who's not me not to eat it.

Half-birthday. Therefore half a cake.
A half black forest cake, with layers of cream and cherries and chocolate flakes. Not pictured: the disaster zone that is my kitchen or the years this took off my life.

New year, new round of cake for the strange and suspicious lot I call colleagues.
A grapefruit bundt cake, generously slathered in runny icing to hide the bits of top that came away in the battle to get the bloody thing out of the tin.

From mid-November on, before you send an email ask yourself if this is really a 2025 problem

Birthday baking for my favourite @theconversation.com author. @tomjeffries.bsky.social I'll be finding lemon seeds all over my kitchen for days, you're welcome 🤣
A loaf-shaped lemon cake, drizzled with sugar and more lemon. God I hope this turned out edible.

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

Career goals: having colleagues worth destroying your kitchen for.
A baking tray with 12 unbaked marble cupcakes, messily but lovingly(?) put together. There are drops of cake batter everwhere.

Some funny-looking partridges around here.

A printed teaching timetable that I've been crossing off throughout the semester, now mercifully completed.

Once more destroying the entire kitchen for a colleague's birthday.
A ridiculously chocolatey cake, topped with more rich chocolatey ganache. I'm not kidding about the kitchen, there is chocolate fucking everywhere dear god why.

When the chemistry prof who has already set off the fire alarm *twice* this semester decides he's in charge of placing candles on a birthday cake.
Me, staring worriedly at a cake with way too many lit candles on it. It's a tiny cake, it doesn't need 12 candles. Richard why are you like this.

Happy #DemocracySausage day to all those celebrating.
A post-voting democracy sausage and a cupcake. Breakfast of champions.

Homemade democracy sausages, shamelessly unearned by lack of voting.

Apple cinnamon cake for a colleague's birthday.
A round cake topped with apple slices and cinnamon that somehow always turns out slightly less neat than intended.

It is decidedly a cheesecake for breakfast sort of day.
A slice of Basque cheesecake and a coffee because it's too early for this.
