A stop motion video of a spoon performing a poem
A rather distraught spoon recites a poem about the trials and tribulations of baking from my book FRUIT CAKE: Recipes for the Curious Baker (William Morrow, 2020)
“The oven’s preheated
The butter’s well-beated
The dry’s folded into the wet
The chocolate is melted
The vanilla sweet smellded
The timer is precisely set
The pan has been filled Anticipation builds
Will it be a delight or a dread?
You forgot the sugar
Too late to recover
F#©k it I’m going to bed”
