The Auction
From Top to Bottom, Left to Right:
Moon & Tide Cupcakes by The Midnight Pearl :: Reminiscent of warm Vylbrand nights, these scrumptious cupcakes are a delight for the all the senses! Delicious pearl chocolate has been blended with moon nuts for a fluffy cake. Then, decadent cloud banana icing has been swirled atop like a maelstrom of the tides. Topped with thin, banana-nut candy cut outs of the moon and stars, this baker's dozen is sure to brighten up your night!
The One to Trifle With by Rhysa Verkoh :: A dessert to sweeten the day away. Filled with brownie pieces, chocolate creams, various berries, and served with fresh whipped cream—This chocolaty fruit trifle will sate any sweet tooth.
Fried Honey Bites by Ringo Shiro :: Bite sized fried pastries glazed with honey and syrup if one desires something strong and sweet.
Matcha Made In Heaven Cake by Kaito Nagano :: A scrumptious green tea tiramisu cake made with fresh Doman and Yanxian ingredients. The succulent sweetness of vanilla and honey are balanced out by the mildly bitter aftertaste of matcha.
The Little Lady's Cookie Dough Bars by Simi Jinkjahl :: The Little Lady's Day Cookie Dough Bars are a scrimptious no-bake recipe. They're composed of pink cookie crust, a delicious layer of chocolate chip white chocolate cookie dough, and a rainbow sprinkle topping!
Very Cherry Coffee and Rum Cake Cups by Rinalys Dawnstar :: A set of tasty chilled treats that will leave you wanting more, these are sure to satisfy any adult. Each cup of this layered dessert is made up of vanilla cake, cream, Pearl chocolate, cherries, strong coffee and a splash of rum. Yum!
Haupia by Sunsgerel Monsaran :: This traditional Monsarani dessert is simple but delightful! Haupia is a coconut pudding that can be more on the "custard" or "jelly" side. In this case, it has been made into slightly more jellied squares!
The Third Bell by Moonlight Reverie Children :: A gift-bag of misshapen but wonderfully delicious baked desserts; the ones that aren’t the most beautiful, but were lovingly baked by several of the orphans. Each bag is a surprise in and of itself, containing tasty treats from cookies to cupcakes, to bagels or biscuits. At the bottom of each is a little note from the child that made it, and what they liked most about it.
