You're a writer. You have spent the last month and a half doing very little in terms of writing fiction, at least in narrative form, aside from helping out others with their own work. You realise that your intended deadline for an already long-overdue bit of reworking has gone past being expired and is currently putrefying. But you also feel that you are a little rusty at the moment, and you have a story set up for just such a purpose. So what do you do?

Ignore that selection of drabbles, and abandon all pretence of practising, so that you can hastily construct one of the shortest pieces you have ever written around a pair of jokes that you have already done before?

That's what I did here. Truly, I am a genius .

Suspicious of baking from the "Wow! I didn't realize it would be so hot in here!"
Still, nicely done.

Competently written, but not enough happening here for a 2400-word story.

You have to explain where the knot and the lubricant fit into Twilight's baking spree.

Thank you!

Well, the knot was supposed to be a reference to pretzels, which were initially written in near then end, then replaced with bows on a wedding cake, and are now going to be edited back in. The lubricant is butter or vegetable oil, used on baking trays.

Well, you're lucky that I ended up leaving some sections as near-dialogue-only, then . But, truth be told, I can't really disagree with you on that front.
