ST. SEBASTIAN

He looks like he's somewhat enjoying his unending and protracted immolation. In every painting, every illustration, there's the sly wince: this is a mere flesh wound, a scratch. I could get to like this.


We can't say if he really does like his - shall we say - position or not, but he makes the perfect valentine anti-hero. 

The chocolate cake (his battleground, or playground, depending) was baked from a Leite's Culinaria recipe. Highly recommended. The frosting we made was caramel; it seemed to suit Sebastian.

We also made an anti-valentine cake topped with dead roses on top one year. Never to be forgotten.
