spencexists Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 apparently a common stereotype for aces is liking cake and dragons so which is better? I tried to put in a picture of a dragon on a cake but it wouldn't work so just imagine it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Spade Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm not a major dragon fan but I can't imagine how cake could be cooler than dragons. But on the other hand I wouldn't trade cheesecake for reptiles that might burn my house down. But on the other other hand, I guess you never specified European dragons (yes I had the Dragonology book with the gems inset in the cover). This is a topic that needs careful consideration. _____________ /\ I I /\ 🐉 I I 🎂 __ I I__ (a dragon and a cake on the scales of justice. I get weird this late at night lol) 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So much of me hopes one day people realise they were wrong and dragons do exist and I wish we could just live like in Berk. If you want a good dragon/mystical creatures book series, I HIGHLY recommend Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, it is tied for first as for favorite books and series, right up there with Nevermoor and Harry Potter. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

everywhere and nowhere Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I don't really care much about dragons, so definitely cake. But on the other hand - I love sweets, sure, but the rule of thumb seems to be that the tastiest cakes are usually not very visually impressive and the most flamboyant cakes taste like paper. So, in this sense - I'm even a bit more into admiring cakes than into eating them. I'm not good at preparing them myself, so usually I'd rather eat simpler sweets - wafer bars (usually chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, caramel or lemon flavoured, depending on what teas I have ), flavoured milk rice or my own invention: whipped chocream!* And I don't know about dragons on cakes, but there are sure a lot of dragon cakes: *Recipe: 30% fat** cream (sorry, I don't know the American terminology such as "heavy ceam", "double cream" - or yup, I know that it exists, but have no idea what corresponds to what) caster sugar starch-based whipped cream stiffener cocoa - "quick", easily soluble cocoa works fine Whip cream with sugar, when it's already quite stiff, add a little cream stiffener and then cocoa, mix thoroughly. **I'll add this as a spoiler, because this cream-based rant is sure an offtopic... but it's something I can't understand and nobody has ever been able to explain it to me. Spoiler In Poland, cream is usually "measured" by fat content. At least what is available in stores (I have seen my granny, in a smaller town, buy "real rural cream" at a marketplace - it was kept in a jar and thick like butter). At stores, the typical "measurements" are 10%, 12%, 18%, 22%, 30%, 36% and (very rare) 42%. What annoys me is that I would expect a reasonably linear relationship between fat content and thickness, but actually it's far from that. 10% (sour, mostly for salads etc.) - I'm not sure, because I haven't eaten it for a long time, but I think it's quite thin 12% (sour, for salads and soups) - similar as above, maybe a little thicker 18% (sour, the most typical kind for soups and sauces, I buy it often) - fairly thick, needs a spoon 22% (sour, mostly for sauces) - very thick 30% (sweetish by itself, mostly used for whipped cream and other sweet stuff) - very thin, fluid, can be poured without using a spoon 36% (sweetish too, only used for sweet dishes) - very thick, needs a spoon and shaking the spoon a bit to get the cream off 42% (advertised as good for homemade butter) - and this one was again very thin... I Just Can't Understand It... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 And a bit more dragon cakes, because I always feel like I shouldn't include too many in one post... (It's a choco-cake too ) 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kilyawan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just adore dragons, both the fantasy and sciency kinds. (To all ye non believers, please know that komodo dragons, leafy sea dragons, etc. exist and they are a blessing to this world). Cake is neat, but personally, I'm not always in the mood for sweets =w= 6 hours ago, Ally123 said: So much of me hopes one day people realise they were wrong and dragons do exist and I wish we could just live like in Berk. If you want a good dragon/mystical creatures book series, I HIGHLY recommend Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, it is tied for first as for favorite books and series, right up there with Nevermoor and Harry Potter. I'd love to check those series out :0. Some dragon books I've read are the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini (I rlly like the magic system here) and Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan (this is more sciency. I'm just at the second book but it's absolutely wonderful). I've tried reading Riders of Pern, but while the setting is intriguing,,, the characters put me off too much : / 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tystie Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Okay, so dragons are fun. But I don’t get their relevance to asexuality. Cake, however... Coffee walnut....lemon drizzle...Victoria sponge...Dundee cake...Somerset Apple Cake...marmalade cake... ... ... Summary: cake for the win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhyn Corinn Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I like cake but for this one I'll have to go with dragons, for reasons some may be aware of 👀 And I'm also a big fan of Fablehaven and it's sequel series!
