What is The Flakey One?
An ancient deity of Slavic origin, the Flakey One derives from the folklore of Дьявол пекаря. A spindly creature, known to enter bakeries and patisseries after midnight to decimate baked goods, either through demonic sexual acts or perspiration of his everlasting baby oil.
Due to this folklore, the term Bakers Dozen was coined, so for every 12 baked goods produced, a 13th was put aside as a gift to The Flakey One, thus stopping his wrath amongst the other finely cooked pastries and breads.
Why be there so much baby oil over these finely cooked rye breads? ‘‘Twas but the wrath of The Flakey One, harbinger of Bakeries; we should’ve made a Bakers Dozen.
