and there it is! a funny, weird, rankin bass lookin ass cake. but you know...i kind of love it. i was especially happy with the mushrooms, which will make an appearance, no doubt, on many buches de noel to come this year. anyway! more soon — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i had one other element i wanted to involve here: wheat. i just think it's neat! i got some gold luster dust on the palette with a little clear vanilla extract and, to the best of my limited ability, painted some grass and wheat onto the set ombré. add mushrooms, and... https://t.co/1kkypi2YIr — PolitiTweet.org

while that coat set, i painted my mushrooms -- no liquid, of course, because that would collapse the meringues. (imagine something even fussier than a macaron!) so i just dry dusted with powdered food coloring. like so! (also helped my kiddo with homework, thus the pencils.) https://t.co/p9nQ9kGhjP — PolitiTweet.org

ok return to the present: the with the crumb coat set, i also wanted to do something kind of neutral ombré. i always end up wishing my ombré cakes were more chaotic. anyway, this is the pre-smoothed ombré. homely, but full of fall feels. and not done yet! https://t.co/lR1Y3B8zUa — PolitiTweet.org

they were fun and easy! just make a meringue, pipe caps and stems (domes and cones) onto parchment, bake low for an hour or two, then leave 'em in the cold oven overnight. i filed the stems and painted melted chocolate on the caps to stick them together. https://t.co/hwUOlNDCsr — PolitiTweet.org

smelled like heaven in the oven. i made a brown butter cream cheese frosting, filled it, crumb coated it, and stuck it in the freezer. now, to rewind: a few days ago, i made meringue mushrooms to try out on this cake. mostly, i just wanted to test drive them... — PolitiTweet.org

fall is here so i'm again in the mood for warm, cozy flavors. in particular i love the flavor of boxed spice cake mix; i think it's fantastic. got nothing against a boxed cake mix. but i wanted to try to get something a little heavier on the molasses at home. and: voila! https://t.co/W0RO9NByHT — PolitiTweet.org

because it's never just that Mary is who she is, it's never strictly her relationship with Jesus or her role in salvation -- she always argues her position, often even arguing for her *right* to argue in the court of heaven at all, and bests Satan, the (very male) Accuser — PolitiTweet.org

all kinds of cultures make certain exceptions for certain women when it comes to general views of feminine capacities (or lack thereof), but it still thrills me a little to think of medieval women religious reading these stories and contemplating this model of women's *reason* — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

sometimes in this particular genre (the processus sathanae, a little research interest of mine) the Virgin Mary even gets to tell Satan off, serving as the defense attorney for humankind! he'll often throw out something about her being a mere woman, and she'll get a moment like: https://t.co/suZLwmPNzM — PolitiTweet.org

oftentimes he'll argue in court to claim a soul he's owed via diabolical contract or even all the souls of humanity because everyone's touched by sin etc and he's not ever falsely accusing anyone it just concludes with Jesus saying, like, "shut up idiot" and humanity triumphs — PolitiTweet.org

great example of seemingly dumb dark ages people having enough sense to see their way to something we're way too deep into political philosophy at this point to grasp with any kind of reliability — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

in medieval lore satan usually advocates for himself and does a pretty good job -- he's always right and well-spoken, it's just that he's constantly overruled and crushed because while his args are good his intent is bad lol — PolitiTweet.org
