Theo
The gentle hedgehog who lives to bake.
Theo measures everything twice, except the generosity he puts into his cakes. A little kitchen chaos never keeps him down for long.
The perfect cake
Theo decided to make a cake so perfect that even the icing would sit in straight lines. He measured the flour twice, timed every stir and set a ruler beside the mixing bowl. Then he sneezed. A little cloud of flour covered his carefully written recipe.
He guessed the final ingredient, baked the cake and stared at it through the oven door. It rose sideways. The icing slid gently toward the edge. Theo sighed and put it on the table anyway.
Mabel took a bite. “This is your best one.” Soon everyone wanted a slice. Theo looked at the crooked cake and smiled. He could make another tomorrow.
Before bed, he wrote down what he remembered of the recipe. Under the ingredients he added one instruction: DO NOT USE A RULER NEAR THE MIXING BOWL.
