The Neoclassic

Because every successful church needs a good fundraiser! This is set in my homebrew setting of Vere, but it could be adapted to other settings fairly easily. Quick vocab: Neftsalyi'dam is the nation, Rivia is the CE goddess of vengeance.
OverviewWhile the church of Rivia isn’t particularly popular in Neftsalyi’dam, most of the larger cities have a shrine to her. Donations from common folk hoping for better insight- or misfortune to someone who has wronged them- are common but not nearly enough to fill the coffers. More substantial donations come from moderately wealthy individuals who’ve chosen Rivia as their patron, such as scryers and diviners. To bring in extra income, however, the church turned to pastry-making.
The practice began in the city of Hellatia. A priest of Rivia had come from a family of bakers and still worked in their shop part-time to keep himself fed; the shrine he worked at simply wasn’t bringing in enough revenue. He prayed to Rivia to help him make the shrine more successful so that he might be able to devote more time to her alone. The next morning, he awoke to find his hands dripping blue blood, though he was unharmed. As he attempted to wipe it off, it faded before his eyes. A clear sign that Rivia had heard his prayers, he went about his day with much satisfaction. Weeks went by though, and there was no change in donations to the shrine. Oddly, the business and success of his family’s bakery doubled, to the extent where he was able to afford to open up his own bakery several blocks away, next to the shrine. Much of his profits went back into the shrine and he was eventually able to hire someone else to run his bakery while he devoted most of his time to Rivia.
The most popular item at the bakery was barrigea de defonn (“demon bellies”). The rounded, greasy buns are filled with a garlic-seasoned fatty pork paste and are still widespread in southern Neftsalyi’dam amongst the poorer urban classes. They sell for an extremely affordable two or three coppers in most areas. A slightly fancier version, with less fat and spiced with cilantro instead of garlic, has found its way up to Leal Nezerra. Any bakery whose owner does not follow Rivia (or at least pay regular respects, monetary and otherwise, to her) finds their business take a turn for the worse if they attempt to sell this item or either of the other two signature baked goods of Rivians. None have been able to say with certainty whether this is from unfavorable divine intervention or actual subtle acts of revenge carried out by her faithful.
The other two items considered signature at bakeries owned or operated by Rivians are coriander twists and eolhez d’amahe. Neither originated at the first bakery in Hellatia, but rather in other, smaller shops, and grew popular enough to find their way to most other Rivian bakeries. Coriander twists are a cheap, savory item of a regular bread dough dotted with coriander seeds. More expensive and catering to middle class tastes are the eolhez d’amahe- literally “eyes of tomorrow.” These small custard tarts are heavy and filling, and named in honor of Rivia’s powers of divination. While a delivery of coriander twists to a friend is a blandly pleasant gift and receiving barrigea de defonn is a sure sign of spite from an acquantince, eolhez d’amahe are sent as an ominious warning. They don’t necessarily signal that the sender has ill will, but rather they know someone else does, and the time when said person will act upon that feeling approaches.
A few Rivian bakeries have had to close down after a disasterous loss of business or investigation by authorities after several people were poisoned or cursed by eating baked goods from the locations. The best current information suggests that one case was a matter of poor hygiene and food safety practices, three had overzealous staff or management who were seeking revenge upon certain individuals, and the last appears to have been framed and committed no wrongdoing.
Of the dozens of bakeries nationwide, a handful sell enchanted baked goods with a variety of effects.All magical baked goods last for up to four weeks without spoiling, provided they are kept in the special bags provided upon purchase.
The Magical Baked Goods
CREATE MAGICAL BAKED GOOD
Prerequisite: Caster level 3rd; patron deity: Rivia.
Benefit: You can create any magical baked good whose prerequisites you meet. Creating a magical baked good takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price. To create a magical baked good, you must spend 1/25 of the baked good’s price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this price.
Some magical baked goods incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the baked good’s base price. You must pay such a cost to create a magical baked good.
All magical baked goods are activated by their consumption.
Specific Baked Goods:Updated!
Bielazelli Cake: These cakes are flavored with bielazelli, an expensive blackberry cordial, and covered with a thick, almond-flavored frosting. One cake has ten servings. Each slice, once eaten, induces a feeling of delighted contentment in the person who ate it. The consumer gains a +2 bonus to Charisma for their invigorated personality, but takes a -2 penalty to Sense Motive and Intimidate checks. Additionally, the consumer feels more generously towards his companions. For each individual in the room present when he consumed the cake, his attitude towards them improves one step towards helpful (but no further than helpful). It does not change the consumer’s attitude towards an individual he is hostile towards. These effects all last for two hours, though it is possible an individual’s improved attitude towards someone remains if he has substantially meaningful, positive interaction with that person during those two hours. A Will save (DC 18) negates all effects. The cake has no magic aura detectable through [I]detect magic or similar effects, but identify reveals its true nature.
None (faint enchantment); CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, eagle’s splendor, charm person; Price 8,000 gp (800 gp for a single slice); Weight 1 pound.
Blackberry Truffle Bite: A blackberry truffle bite is a tiny, bite-sized pastry flavored with flakes of black truffle and filled with a rich blackberry jam. When eaten, it heals 1d8+1 hp. If consumed by an undead creature, it instead causes 1d4 damage and nauseates them for the next minute.
Faint necromancy; CL 1st; Create Magical Baked Good, cure light wounds; Price 50 gp; Weight negligible.
Blueberry-Coriander Twist: Each of these small, yeast bread twists is stained blue from crushed blueberries and sprinkled with coriander. Eating one imbues one with divine power from Rivia herself. Individuals who don’t worship Rivia are only affected by rage for five rounds. Those who have Rivia as their patron are affected by rage for ten rounds, and are also surrounded by an aura of blue fire for the next minute. This aura of blue fire extends to all melee attacks done by the consumer, adding 1d6+2 fire damage and 1d6+2 chaotic damage to such attacks. Anyone attacking him with their body or a handheld weapon also takes 1d6+7 fire damage. This fiery aura is of an unusual variety, and does not grant any special immunity to fire or cold attacks.
Moderate evocation; CL 7th; Create Magical Baked Good, rage, fire shield, burning hands; Price 2,700 gp; Weight negligible.
Boelae ar Gosnolle: With the original recipe originating in Quixioshe, this is a twist on a popular southern pastry. The rounded, sweet yeast dough is filled with a thick lemon cream and sprinkled with light brown sugar. Eating one erases the past hour from the consumer’s memory. He simply has no idea what occurred; it’s truly a blank to him. As such, if he responds that he doesn’t know what occurred during that time, he is speaking entirely truthfully, as all lie-detecting magic will demonstrate. An unwilling creature gets a Will save (DC 17) to avoid this effect.
Moderate enchantment; CL 10th; Create Magical Baked Good, modify memory; Price 1,800 gp; Weight negligible.
Demon-Dusted Eolhez D’Amahe: These small, rich custard tarts are sprinkled with cinnamon from an abyssal plane. They have no magic aura detectable through detect magic or similar effects, but identify reveals the pastry’s true nature. Upon consuming the pastry, one must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or be instantly afflicted with cackle fever, similar in effect to the spell contagion.
None (faint necromancy); CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, contagion; Price 750 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Drunkard’s Rum Cake: If the consumer of this rich cake fails a Will save (DC 12), he loses all interest in drinking intoxicating beverages for the next hour, tending to decline offers of alcoholic drinks and not finishing any which he currently possesses. At the end of the hour, he doesn’t immediately desire alcohol again, but the urge may naturally return if he’s presented with the sort of situation which normally inclines him to drink.
Faint enchantment; CL 1st; Create Magical Baked Good, enough for tonight; Price 20 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Dulce de Leche Muffins: Usually sold in half-dozens, these rich muffins contain bits of fresh apple and are topped with creamy dulce de leche. Eating one gives the consumer a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma for the next hour.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, eagle’s splendor; Price 1,800 for a box (300 gp each); Weight ½ lb for a box.
Fading Lemon Pastry: These small, triangular pastries are flaky and flavored with lemon. For the next twenty-four hours, the consumer is under the effects of a nondetection spell, with an effective caster level of 9th.
Moderate abjuration; CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, nondetection; Price 2,250 gp; Weight negligible.
Fig-Almond Eolhez D’Amahe: A diced fig-almond topping dresses these small custard tarts. Eating one gives the individual a +2 resistance bonus against poisons for the next hour.
Faint abjuration; CL 1st; Create Magical Baked Good, resistance; Price 30 gp; Weight negligible.
Hazelnut Cheesecake Square: This delicious square of cheesecake flecked with bits of hazelnut grants the consumer arcane sight for the next five minutes. Faint abjuration; CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, arcane sight; Price 750 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Lemon-Glazed Bun: Eating a lemon-glazed bun conceals one’s alignment from all forms of divination for the next 24 hours. These buns are usually only available in the original Hellatian bakery.
Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, undetectable alignment; Price 150 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Lime Dot Cookie: A small, round, and plump item, the lime dot cookie is otherwise nondescript. It provides a +2 competence bonus to Disguise, Hide, and Move Silently for the next hour.
Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, cat’s grace; Price 300 gp; Weight negligible.
Mocha Delight: In this layered concoction of a creamy fluff and soft cake are two flavors alien to all but the most sophisticated pallets: chocolate and coffee. Indeed, the coffee is from halfway across the world and the cocoa used is from the home plane of Rivia herself. A mocha delight takes one minute to eat. The consumer instantly and permanently gains an inherent bonus for the casting of divination spells. His effective caster level is raised by one for all purposes of spell duration and other effects which are directly determined by his caster level, but only for divination spells and effects. His spells per day and known spells aren’t affected in any way. An individual can only be affected by one of these pastries; consuming more than one, no matter how much time has elapsed, has no additional effect.
Strong transmutation; CL 13th; Create Magical Baked Good, limited wish, owl’s wisdom; Price 11,000 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Muffin Bites, Fig: These bite-sized muffins dotted with bits of fig and almonds. Each one grants the consumer an energy resistance 5 against acid damage for the next ten minutes. Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, resist energy; Price 450 gp per bag (75 gp per muffin); Weight 1/10 lb for a bag, each negligible.
Muffin Bites, Pomegranate: These bite-sized muffins dotted with bits of pomegranate and spiced with nutmeg, cloves, and cassia. Each one grants the consumer an energy resistance 5 against fire damage for the next ten minutes. Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, resist energy; Price 450 gp per bag (75 gp per muffin); Weight 1/10 lb for a bag, each negligible.
Muffin Bites, Walnut: These bite-sized muffins contain lemon zest, orange zest, and walnuts. Each one grants the consumer an energy resistance 5 against electricity damage for the next ten minutes. Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, resist energy; Price 450 gp per bag (75 gp per muffin); Weight 1/10 lb for a bag, each negligible.
Pound Cake with Caramel Glaze: Consuming one slice of this cake gives one a +4 enhancement bonus to Wisdom for the next six minutes. The target gains all the usual benefits of increased wisdom, but she does not recevice any bonus spells from the enhancement. Faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Create Magical Baked Good, owl's wisdom; Price 300 gp per slice; Weight 1/10 lb.
Shaved Truffle Flan: This exquisitely delicious flan is small enough for a single serving, topping with a soft caramel sauce and shaved black truffle. Made of only the finest ingredients, it registers as having no magical properties to detect spells. Identify and similar spells only reveal the item’s true aura if the examiner succeeds a Will save (DC 19). If he fails the save, he believes the item to be nonmagical and no amount of testing reveals its true magic. If someone consumes this flan, they must make a Will save (DC 19) or be affected by the spell visiting babau. A shaved truffle flan is only available with the right connections, upon special request, from the original Hellatian bakery.
None (moderate conjuration); CL 11th; Create Magical Baked Good, visiting babau, magic aura; Price 3,500 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Thousand Tongues: These flaky pastries are rich and buttery, usually found in triangular shapes which are just enough for two mouthfuls. Consuming one allows the user to comprehend languages for the next ten minutes.
Faint divination; CL 1st; Create Magical Baked Good, comprehend languages; Price 50 gp; Weight negligible.
Venison Turnover: Unlike most magical pastries, these buttery turnovers filled with meaty, tender filling take 2d4 rounds to consume. Once fully eaten, it grants a +6 bonus to Strength for the next hour.
Faint abjuration; CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, bull’s strength; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Viole Eolhez D’Amahe: Small but filling custard tarts, this particular variety is drizzled with caramel and pomegranate sauces. After consuming a viole eolhez d’amahe, the consumer’s next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, she’s not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.
Faint necromancy; CL 1st; Create Magical Baked Good, true strike; Price 50 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.
Walnut Liqueur Square: Each of these tiny squares of cake contains a special walnut- and hazelnut-flavored liqueur and is coated with sugary, thin icing. The consumer gains a shriek of vengeance (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6752393&postcount=17)for the next five rounds.
Faint evocation; CL 5th; Create Magical Baked Good, shriek of vengeance (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6752393&postcount=17); Price 750 gp; Weight negligible.
I realize that Create Magical Baked Good may seem redundant with Craft Wondrous Item, but I really wanted to make a specific, focused branch of magic items that tend to function more like potions (in that all are consume-and-affect). Of course, the application of the feat would be limited, and more magical pastries would be needed for it to be worth the time of player characters.
