Violet’s Cakes

Violet did not believe I could dream of a recipe while thinking of her. Violet is my eldest daughter, a headstrong character. Violet is not her real name. It is the name I would have given her if she had spurted out of my pen but she bursted out of my flesh instead. My C-Section scar still reminds me of it.

Violet is strong and beautiful. Fierce but shy. Even when she is around, she is not really available. Her mind is always planning a trip or two in some fantasy lands she creates in her sketchbooks.

For her, I have imagined theses little cakes she can throw in her balluchon before rushing to the forbidden forest where she will need lots of energy to save her prince charming.
