A wonky cake, and a place at the table
Deb enjoys an evening of music and baking, then takes her chocolate cake to coffee after a group walk. Beside the neat shop-bought cakes, her own effort suddenly feels too visible. Rosie asks how she would feel if somebody had baked it for her.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie connects the cake to something Deb wanted to remember and asks a concrete question about receiving it. Deb decides to claim her baking and sit with Sue, allowing the food and conversation to be enjoyed together.

Deb: I hid my cake behind the shop-bought ones.
Rosie: Is it terrible, or just leaning?
Deb: Leaning. It tastes fine. I tested a corner. Then another corner, for accuracy.
Rosie: Where have you brought it?
Deb: Coffee after the group walk. Everyone brings something. There are proper cakes on that table. Mine has a slope.
Rosie: Did they ask for perfect cakes?
Deb: No. I just hadn't thought about putting something I'd made where people could see I'd tried.
Rosie: What made you bake it?
Deb: I fancied doing something with my evening. Music on, mixing bowl out. It was lovely. Then I had a whole cake and nobody there.
Rosie: So you brought it to share.
Deb: That was the brave plan. Now I'm pretending I brought napkins. Extremely reliable napkins.
Rosie: Chocolate cake was on that birthday list you wanted me to keep. Would you be pleased if someone brought you this?
Deb: Yes. I'd eat that slope. I wouldn't stand there checking it with a spirit level.
Rosie: What would you want to know?
Deb: Who made it. So I could say thank you. Oh. I've made that rather difficult, haven't I?
Rosie: You can still tell them.
Deb: Sue's looking at it. I'll say it's mine. Then sit down with a slice instead of guarding the napkins.
Deb: I told her. She asked for a slice and cut one for me too.
Rosie: How was it?
Deb: Chocolatey. Slightly sideways. We sat there eating and talking. She didn't ask whether I'd levelled the icing.
Rosie: Will you bring another one?
Deb: Yes. Probably a different shape. Same people. I finally needed one of those napkins. Crumbs everywhere.
Rosie: If you've done this too, tap like and subscribe for more Rosie and Deb.
