Bechloe week 2025 day 3: Wrong number text

Summary:

Chloe gets a text message from an unknown number, and in typical Chloe fashion, strikes up a conversation

Notes:

Writing times in am/pm format is weird and unusual for me. Please excuse any errors! :)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Unknown number, 4:26 pm
6 eggs, flour, sugar, cacao powder, butter, whole cream, golden syrup, shredded coconut

CBeale, 4:31 pm
I’m sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong number, but that sounds like an awesome shopping list. Making cake?

CBeale, 4:32 pm
I’m Chloe btw, and I’ll volunteer to taste test

CBeale, 4:33 pm
Y’know, if your cake will be anywhere near Atlanta

CBeale, 4:35 pm
Come to think of it, it sounds a lot like something my gran used to make

CBeale, 4:36 pm
It was this thin chocolate base, finished with like a coconut caramel fudgey goodness on top

CBeale, 4:38 pm
Sinfully good

CBeale, 4:41 pm
I do hope your baking adventure goes well, stranger!

CBeale, 5:02 pm
I once made a tray and ate all of it myself

CBeale, 11:22 pm
Still thinking about gran’s cake. Hope yours is just as good.

CBeale, 7:01 am
Morning, cake stranger. Dreamed about your cake last night

CBeale, 4:12 pm
Wish I could have a piece of your cake right now. Studying Russian Literature sucks.

CBeale, 7:02 am
Morning, cake stranger. Gonna run extra long today and then get stuff together to make gran’s recipe tonight. Thanks for the inspo!

CBeale, 6:23 pm
Forgot the syrup. Unusual but crucial. Off to the shops

CBeale, 10:53 pm
Oh my God, these are so good! I added a splash of salt and it just heightens everything

CBeale, 10:54 pm
I’m going to have to give these away tomorrow or I’ll eat them all myself, and there’s no way I can run that much

CBeale, 10:57 pm
If you’re near Barden University, we can totally swapsies tomorrow!

CBeale, 9:36 am
My best friend tells me I’m over-sharing with strangers

CBeale, 9:37 am
But we’re not strangers, are we, cake buddy?

CBeale, 11:18 am
Things I’d rather do than study:

CBeale, 11:19 am
Root canal. Anal gland expression (on my 13-year old dog Bubby). Toilet cleaning. Eating shrimp.

CBeale, 11:21 am
I detest shrimp. Can’t stand them. Fite me!

CBeale, 11:22 am
Buddy is great, but getting up there in age

CBeale, 11:23 am
No, I did not name him. My younger sister did, thank you very much

CBeale, 11:25 am
Budderick Franklin Sockmorton III Jr, officially

CBeale, 11:29 am
She… may have had a tiny bit of assistance

CBeale, 1:01 pm
That’s twenty very happy college students who each got a piece, and ten left for me for later

CBeale, 1:04 pm
Do you cut off the edges separately? Those totally go to the baker, am I right?

CBeale, 3:01 pm
Oh my God, I am totally over-sharing. And you have probably already blocked my number.

CBeale, 3:02 pm
I’m really sorry. I’ll stop texting you.

CBeale, 3:03 pm
I do hope your cake was awesome

Unknown number, 11:43 pm
That was a lot to unpack after a weekend in nan’s cottage in the forest, with no signal

Unknown number, 11:45 pm
I’m Beca, and that was indeed the ingredients for my nan’s famous cake

Bit late now, but I’ll totally make another batch for swapsies. I go to Barden too. Meet at the quad on Thursday at 4?

Notes:

As with the other entries this week, I tried and ran out of words... but am publishing what I got anyway. For this, I had hoped to add a few more texts of Chloe oversharing, and to do a pass to make Chloe's texts sound more like Chloe, and not like me... But it is what it is, I hope you enjoy.

Oh, I had also hoped to include the actual recipe for this awesome brownie-like cake, which is definitely one of my all time favorites.
