Hunter X Hunter Cakes Novels & Stories

“What’s that?” Zelda raised an eyebrow, her tone sing-songy. “Better decide fast before your mom catches us. She wouldn’t like what’s in here.” “Okay, okay, I forgive you!” Xander grinned, grabbing the box eagerly. He opened it to find the chocolate cake and gasped in delight. “You brought me chocolate cake?” Zelda smirked, putting a finger to her lips. “Keep it down, or everyone will know. Now hurry and eat it before we get caught.”

I have to admit - it's one of the most impressive cakes I've ever made. I started with a classic tiered cake, then used the Cataclysm: Earth movie poster for inspiration as I decorated the layers, creating an apocalyptic scene in sugar and icing. There aren't many bakers in this world who can make a cake that's both elegant and captures the essence of a disaster film, but I'm pretty sure I've managed it. This cake could get me work for months - maybe even years.

"Did you bring us anything?" Lucas's stern expression melted. It always did around the twins. "As a matter of fact..." He reached into his satchel and produced a wrapped package. "I remembered how much you liked these." He unwrapped the cloth to reveal a stack of berry cakes. The children's favorite treat from the Howlers' territory. Made with wild berries that only grew in Lucas's forest. "Berry cakes!" Carl's eyes went wide. "Mom, look! Berry cakes!" The twins crowded around Lucas, chattering excitedly. Karin grabbed his hand, tugging him toward a chair. Carl reached for the cakes with eager fingers.

she looked around again, lifting her body for a little from the bed of hay. “Here it is!” Ansel pulled a palm-sized chocolate cake that she thought was just a pile of horse shit. Ansel, whose veins were gifted with scorching embers and fierce fire, lit the candle atop the cake in a click of his finger. “Happy Birthday—” Ansel sucked a breath as Sasha kneeled and sat in front of him, smiling as bright as the stars adorning the heavens, “Sasha…” The candle’s flame danced in Sasha’s eyes, debating whether to blow and make a wish or blow Ansel and make herself pissed. She chuckled at those thoughts.

SERA. The funny thing about assassins is that we're great with knives, poisons, and making bodies disappear... but frosting? Not so much. The cake on my counter looked like it had been through a car crash. It had lopsided layers, and one candle was leaning to the side so badly, it was practically trying to escape. But I was proud. Because it wasn't a weapon, it was a birthday cake for my husband. In the midst of all the chaos that Black Scorpion had caused, how could I forget my husband's birthday? Especially when it was a day worth celebrating?

"It's a vampire royal birthday party! We go all out! There'll be roasted meats, fresh bread, pastries, exotic fruits, desserts from five different kingdoms, and..." "Okay, okay, you had me at roasted meats." Kaelithra held up her hands in surrender. "I'll be there." Marl jumped up from his chair and actually did a little happy dance right there in her shop. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he said, grinning so wide his fangs showed. "You're the best friend ever! I'm going to make sure they save you the biggest portions! Oh, and there's this thing they make, it's called blood cake, but don't worry, it's not actually made of blood, it's just called that because it's red and..."

Though, currently, Hunter’s was bigger than Darius’ due to that stupid bet they got going. “I’ll be right back,” I muttered stiffly, making a beeline for the kitchen. I had to calm down and get my head straight if I wanted to make them suffer. But I wasn’t going to lie. I had no clue how I was going to go about it. I found Harris standing in the kitchen, taste-testing–as he liked to call it–from a tray of variable savory snacks. When he spotted me, he lowered the half-eaten biscuit topped with caviar and herbs. “Miss Cartwright, is there anything I can do for you?”

For a moment, I was caught speechless. “Why...” I tittered. Meanwhile, the hare was staring intently at me, before all of a sudden, swiftly snatched one of the cakes that was dressed in small pieces of nuts before running back into the woods nearby. I burst out giggling in amusement. “Oh... The hare just stole one of the cakes.” Taylor sounded a bit surprised. “No worries. We still have many cakes to enjoy.” I reassured, picking another cake with red velvet flavor before putting it into my mouth.

Some of those supplies are nearly impossible to get without the right connections; I don’t have them right now. I sighed in relief when I found my hunter kit was still intact. “Let’s see what I will need?” I pondered, searching through my supplies. “Blue flame candle and holy oil for purification. Blood… well, she has some in the fridge, and I only need two drops. And chameleon bones. And then I need an object I can wear to enchant.” I sighed, setting everything I needed aside.

Lexi also wanted to make the cake as a surprise for Norm, and Marcus I had seen her drawings for it, and it was impressive. It was going to be a three tiered chocolate cake, with buttercream frosting. She was going to have a waterfall of blue icing going down all three layers of the cake, ending in a pond at the bottom. She was going to decorate the sides of each tier with flowers, and trees. At the top she was making two wolves that would have their heads tucked together standing in a meadow. It was going to take a lot of work, but I knew she would pull it off. I had also agreed to make my croissants as an appetizer.
