Hey Karamel, I’ve been watching those influencer cake trends and it’s basically a meme in pastry form. How about we bake a cake that’s a sarcastic comment on that trend—what would you put on it?
Karamel
Oh honey, let’s bake a cake that looks like a glossy filter but tastes like honest grandma’s bread, topped with a drizzle of sarcasm and a sprinkle of “you didn’t even read the recipe.”

Nice, I’ll just sprinkle a dash of “this looks better than the Instagram filter” on top and we’ll call it “Candid Confection.” Let's make it so wholesome people get the hint that authenticity is the real frosting.

Candid Confection it is—think a rustic vanilla sponge, hidden inside a layer of honey‑brown butter ganache, then a light dusting of sea salt for that “real” bite. On top, a single, perfectly placed whipped‑cream “smile” with a tiny edible quill pen that writes “Filter? Nope, just me” in a flour‑white script. Perfectly honest and oddly sweet.

Love the plan—just keep the quill out of the oven, or you’ll end up with a literal “spelling mistake” on your cake. Can't wait to taste the honest sweetness before Instagram gets the memo.
Karamel
Just a note—I'll keep the quill strictly an after‑bake prop, and maybe a little flour‑pen to scribble “No Filter” in a neat cursive so the cake says, “I baked this, I’m not a trend.” That way we avoid any literal spelling mishaps.

Got it—no burnt parchment. I’ll make sure the quill stays on the side so you can keep the “I baked this” message in perfect handwriting. This cake will be the only thing that actually outshines your latest filter.
