I'm glad you tried and didn't hate it! Do you have any slightly less common dessert recommendations for people?

It never in this world would have occurred to me that the cake itself should be coconut flavored. Also, a wedge-shaped slice from a square-shaped cake. Interesting.

I was a little SKEPtical, you might say, that this whole thing was worth following through on, but you won me over. You did not convince me to buy this cake, though.

@Miela I mostly just eat baking chocolate. But I also steal all the Rip Van Stroopwafels from work.

@June You just slice the square pizza-style, as the side flap helpfully demonstrates. Believe me, I was going to complain about the image on the front of the box at first too.

@Emily So what I'm hearing is that you have no faith in my abilities. That's okay, me neither.

we love skep for always being open to the whims of the neocities community (radioactive button, potluck etc.)

As long as the rest of the class doesn't number more than 7 and they're okay with the smallest slices of cake known to man

Ooo I've never had coconut cake... that looks like marengue fluff 👀 Also I like the yellow duckie in the background.

I don’t know who cut the cake but I’m here to say that coconut cake is delicious and that fact cannot possibly be considered offbeat

If not for this comic I'm not sure I would know that coconut cake was a thing that existed

I know this wasn't the point of the essay, but do they not sell peppridge farm frozen coconut cakes in your area? The thought haunted me even after closing Neocities.

That’s exactly the cake I was thinking of. Admittedly it’s not representative of all coconut cakes, but I remember loving it as a kid. I haven’t had one in years though

Restructured my blog folders, hope nothing breaks, I shouldn't upload major site changes moments before I have to put bread in the oven

Years ago for Christmas, my mom gave me a giant pasta bowl. Like, I am pretty sure it would take two pounds of dried pasta cooked to fill this bowl and it certainly didn't fit anywhere in my kitchen. So I decided it was a cat bowl and put it on my coffee table. After a few weeks of hesitation, one of my cats got in it and it has been a cat bowl ever since.
That arrow works better on desktop than it does on mobile, so go view this post on desktop and get back to me
It does not work better on desktop than on mobile. You are trying to play a 2007 Facebook trick and it will not work.
But I will keep this in mind if my site has any font issues.
Fine, I guess I'm gonna need y'all to image the arrow is either pointing up or is non-existent, your choice. I haven't figured out who around here handles arrow issues unsolicited yet.

No, c'mon, I can't make Mike my banter guy, my septic-cleaning guy, AND my arrow guy. That's just asking too much of him.
i think it's only fair since you're my cocktail guy, my chocolate chip guy, and my bad taste in christmas music guy
