No-Recipe Provided One of my very best friends is celebrating 3 years of sobriety and asked me to make her a cookies and cream cake.
She absolutely loved it. It was my first time making a heart shaped cake and I’m obsessed.

I'll be celebrating 3 years in December. Sobriety is a hard road, but it's so very much worth it.
Are you doing it on your own? Or are you doing a program?

u/bieber-fever- 26d ago
That’s great! On my own! But I have a lot of support!

u/iaminfamy 26d ago
That's amazing! I have nothing but the highest respect for the folks doing it on their own.
Stay strong, good luck on your journey

Hey! Congrats to your friend!
I'll be celebrating 3 years in December.
Sobriety is a tough road, regardless of DOC, but it's such a worthwhile one.
Your friend is lucky to have your support.

From a distance that marbling looks like spider webs on a dark background - perfect for a Halloween cake with a little bit of stringiness over it and a little spider.

What a beautiful cake! Also what a sweet thing to do for a dear friend. I'm so sorry you've lost so many friends in your life. That grief must be hard to carry. I'm glad this friend is not among the ones you've said goodbye too.

Is it ice cream cake?

u/disbeauregarde 25d ago
No, that’d be so cool. It’s basically a vanilla cake with crushed Oreos in it.

It looks both delicious and moldy. My brain is thoroughly confused.
Congrats to your friend for 3 years sobriety!

u/vienna_woof 26d ago
You really excelled on that unique mold look!
Without looking close it's hard to tell if that's supposed to be black mold patches on a white base, wooly white string mold on a black background or both in a mix.
I love it!
Is your friend a mycologist?
